Work

The alarm goes off at 6:30 AM and I drag myself out of bed. Casey always seems to have other ideas.
We have been painting the service post at each of the sites.....yea, that's me hard at work!

Took An Airboat Ride Today

We traveled to our destination, Midway Airboat which was about fifteen minutes away.

Inside the gift shop, Joyce found this pig. If you pat it, it squeals. Really cool!
This is the airboat that we went out on.
500 plus cubic inch big block with a four blade prop.

This Gator is approx. 10 - 12 feet long.
Gators were everywhere you looked.

Gators were even with the cattle that free range the area. The Gators don't bother trying to eat the cattle because they're too much work to eat. The fish and bird are very abundant and easier to catch.
A good shot of us and our friends Don & Lucy. No....I'm not sleeping.

Yes that's a real gator that Joyce is holding.
A short video on our ride which actually lasted an hour.

Landscaping

The grass at our site was in tough shape so we picked up some grass seed to see if we could brighten up the yard a little. Joyce also asked me for a palm tree so I did a transplant on a small palm. Now all I have to do is water......a lot.

Swim Time For Casey

Joyce found info on a dog beach in New Smyrna, Fl. so off we went to find it. There's a $5 charge and the dogs must be leashed at all times but Casey didn't mind.

The coastal lighthouse.

The intercoastal waterway connect with the ocean over by the lighthouse. Another couple came along with their dog that was afraid to go into the water. Casey put on a show and wanted to play. Before you knew it, the little dog was chasing Casey in the water.

Even the Dolphins came by to see what all the splashing was about.
