Jon waving
(these pictures are from Monday)
this is a picture of the boy's room....we took it over cause the beds were nicer....they didn't care, they aren't old enough to have back pain!
then Jon took the kids to the playground for an hour!
I took the boys for a walk
can you see the squirrel on the tree? he has a nut in his mouth
Here's Steve at the jump area...and YES he did go in on Tuesday even tho it was COLD!
Shad did NOT go in, it is about 60 feet deep there
And I certainly did not go in~
cute boy!
this is bugs on the water, I've never seen this.
these are cypress trees with knees:)
the little ones loved the swing on the porch
So Tuesday morning we got up and my girlfriend, her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend went with me and Shad to our family's graveyard. We go back 7 generations....
this is a picture of me at my Great aunt's grave. She is the one who raised me.
Tuesday afternoon it really started raining
But that didn't keep the guys off the Suwanee River
Jon came over to say hi!
Here are some pictures of the Suwannee River, right where Fanning Springs comes out
Here is the famous bridge over the Suwanee, when I was a little girl, I'd hide my face going on this bridge. On Monday I kayaked under it, that was cool~
these are the old stairs we used to go down when we'd stop here. It was a tradition.
the first bridge and plaque.
I took this picture as we were leaving today
then we went to Manatee Springs but didn't see any Manatees!
pretty
the only Manatee we saw!
Manatee Springs also goes into the Suwanee River about 10 miles downstream. Here the River is much wider!
FYI it was COLD!
water lilies, what the manatees like to eat
what a great trip we had! Loved being with our friends and their kids. We played and ate and played some more. Now we are all planning a summer trip to the beach together!
There was a cat at the cabins and I asked if she was the mascot and was told no, that they needed to call animal control since it was against the rules for strays to be there. Shad wanted us to bring it home and they said that was fine and gave us a box. My friend's husband put it in his van and he was taking back all our "toys" the kayaks and bikes. Somehow the cat got out of the box. He had to have the back of the van cracked since he ended up putting some of the kayaks inside and the other stuff in his trailer. The cat got out of the van. He didn't stop anywhere (except at redlights ) between there and our house. We hope the cat got out as soon as he stopped here and is hiding. Shad is sad! I feel terrible for the cat. I know this sounds silly but please pray that the cat either finds a home, finds its way back to the campground or that she is here somewhere hiding. I hate to think it could be in a town somewhere, scared or hurt....UGH!
Selah had a great time while we were gone and she is POOPING on her own:) She has been very relaxed and peaceful!
Sarah is NOT pooping! The meds have kicked in and things are different. She has gotten a rash from all the meds she is on and I had to get new creams for her. My first stop home was CVS for Sarah's medicine, Selah's meds and Sam's eye drops....Back to the REAL world!
