We are at Thousand Trails Peace River in Wauchula, Fl enjoying the lazy days playing pickleball in the morning, playing Fast Track in the evening and in between Mitch is making some nice meals. This beet salad accompanied the just seared ahi tuna and both were scrumptious!
Happy Birthday, Caryn! We did celebrate early since she and the boys came up to visit last weekend. The plan was to come up Friday night, play a little Saturday morning, then she would leave the boys with us and she would take the fixings for her birthday dinner to her friends, Ruthie and Luke, who have a lake house about 30 minutes from her. She and Ruth would then make the Peking Duck, Hot and Sour Soup, Potstickers, and Spring Rolls dinner for Sunday afternoon.
Brayden was excited to go shark's tooth hunting in the river. Sometimes you have to dig a hole to get to the good stuff! Then swish the diggings around in the water and look for the sharks teeth.
Everybody had a great time and Brayden took home about 50 good pieces and a great find, a one and a half inch tall goblin shark tooth--at least that's what Brayden said it was!
Rylan liked it all until he got caught in the moss and it sat him down in the river, but he got over the scare quickly.
We had a lot of fun with the boys, they sure kept us busy. We will miss them as we go north, but are looking forward to some good times with the granddaughters when we get to Minnesota.
Caryn's dinner at the "lake house". What a lot of fun! Ruth, Rylan, Mitch, Brayden, Luke, friend Teresa, and Caryn.
While we sat on the lanai, Luke took Brayden out kayaking. Brayden did a pretty good job for being on the lake by himself.
This picture is for Brayden. He insisted on the 1500 piece puzzle for he and Grampa to put together--of course the subject matter is one of his favorites--orcas and underwater life, so the little kitty puzzle I found was not very interesting. He did a great job of putting together the fish at the bottom of the picture and we finally got the rest of it done yesterday.

What a beautiful family! Looks like you all enjoyed your time together. What a treat for the little ones to take home such a find from the river. Time with family especially grandchildren are always a welcome treat!
