TT Orlando

Here we are in Orlando. Oh yes, the Thousand Trails Preserve is great, but we are spending time at Disney--a lot of time. We discovered the "kid" is us again. However this time we are not running from ride to ride, we found out how to use the "Fast Pass." Disney has changed since we were there almost 20 years ago!

Disney by night

We kept right on playing after the sun went down--more Splash Mountain! The evening activities are spectacular. We found a nice place to watch the night/light parade and the fireworks.

Peace River TT

It was fun to get together with friends Lee and Judy (and Nick), Pat and John, and Ken and Faye showed up. We met Stan and Sally, Barb and Dennis, and saw just a little bit of Jane and Jim Pickle ball was good, Mitch played a lot more (his foot is feeling better if he doesn't overdo it). We enjoyed our stay at Peace River, but it is time to mosey on.

The Story of Jesus

Last night we went to the stage production of "The Story of Jesus" in Wauchula. It was a great representation of Jesus' life from His birth in Bethlehem to His death on Mt. Calvary, His resurrection and ascension, and the Second Coming. The play featured about 200 actors, live camels, donkeys, horses, sheep, and even chickens.

The best toy yet!

We have a basket of toys for little girls and boys! But given the toys or "stuff", Brayden usually chooses stuff. He loves turning on all the lights, the under counter rope lights especially (then he lays down on the floor to look and see if they are on), and the fans (they make noise when the vent opens and the fan comes on). Of course, when everything is on, he leaves to find something else to do. He loves throwing garbage away for us, and when he opens the cabinet door he says "B-U!" It wasn't until the last day that he got into the pots and pans drawer. I hope you can open the movie because to hear him laugh is the best there is!

A Little Vacation for the Smiths

Jason finally was able to take some time away from the restaurant and the kids came to Peace River to spend the "weekend". We played a lot, from fossil hunting in the river (Brayden loved walking in the water!), to playing pickle ball, and of course, eating. I think we wore them out.

More Smith Vacation

We had a lot of fun with Brayden. He is a little guy with a lot of personality!
