Hillsborough River State Park

 

 

Welcome to the REAL Florida!

 

 

 

The river is up from all the rains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We've taken pictures inside that tree...not today!

 

 

As we were getting out of the van, I started putting on bug repellant.  It sprayed out so much and with a great force.  I did my arms and legs and wondered how in the world was I going to spray it on the little kids, it was so forceful I was afraid I'd get it in their eyes.  So I looked on the can, and it was a bug FOGGER for the yard!!!  I started wiping my arms and legs off with baby wipes!  Luckily it is an all natural spray but still....   we all laughed so hard!

 

Once we got in the woods, the mosquitoes were as bad as I have ever seen in my life.  We were miserable and it didn't seem to help me that I had the bug Fogger all over me!  They seemed to like me the best!  We basically did a fast walk/run through there!  I only stopped for a few seconds to take some pictures.  It was awful!  But I thought you'd like some pictures from one of my favorite places in the world...except NOT today! 

 

EXCEPT I stopped to go to the bathroom and on the floor was a $20 bill!!!!!!  WOOHOO!  At first I thought it was a trick but it was for real!  YEAH that will probably go towards my hospital bill for the bug spray inhaling and some disease from all the mosquitoes bites LOL

 

This evening the Monier family picked up all the items donated to them for their yard sale.  We were happy to help load up their van.  YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO GIVE!   That was just the first load so if you live in this area and want to go through all your stuff and donate to their yard sale, you still have time!

 

Don't forget you can still give to their adoption by sending a check to GRACE CHURCH 7060 Berry Road, Zephyrhills Fl 33540.   Please give as we only have $200 that has come in as of yet!!!!!!  I'd love to be able to bless this family with a larger check!
