One of our favorite traditions is celebrating Lu the hippo’s birthday with our friends at Homosassa Springs! 🎂💕 Did you know Lu is the oldest living hippo in North America? This year, he turned 65, and even though the day was a bit chillier than usual, it didn’t stop his loyal fans from coming out to celebrate him (and enjoy a pop while they were at it!). To make the festivities extra special, we brought Strawberry Pops and Watermelon Hibiscus Pops—because watermelon is Lu’s favorite treat! Here’s to you, Lu—we love you! 🍓 🍉 🌺 fl.stateparks tampabaytimes #eatfruit #thehyppo #luthehippo
