Today we took the girls to see the manatees at the Tampa Electric Company's water discharge canal. It was awesome. I've never seen so many of them. We went last year and didn't see nearly as many as this year. They are more abundant when the weather gets colder as they like the warm water that the power plant discharges into the canal. The girls really enjoyed seeing them up close. I've attached some pics below. You can read more about these fascinating manatees at

This was only a portion of them, there were plenty more that I didn't pick up with the lens I had on my camera.
Here is a mommy manatee.
Here is a baby manatee peeking out of the water, swimming next to his/her mom.
