I took the kids to JN Ding Darling Refuge today. Below are some pictures from our visit. It’s the first time we’ve gone, in 5+ years of coming to Sanibel… how sad, huh? We didn’t see any alligators or crocs but lots of birds and butterflies. It was definitely worth the drive through, although we won’t likely make the trip again soon just because it’s not our cup of tea, so to speak. 
Feel free to click on any pic and peruse the entire group at Flickr.
Lovely. It must have been peaceful. A good place to renew your spirit. Love the turtle? picture!
