Leaving our East Coast Manion family

Oh look, Bob has joined us!!


Aunt Laurie and John







Aunt Laurie and Bill



Well, we left Palm Harbor, Florida after a great visit with our family. Always hard to leave. We do think they have vicious birds in Florida, however. Laurie was flogged 3 times while there. They just dive bombed, not friendly at all. Headed to Georgia, and we are not in Savannah.

Uncle Joe
We went to visit Uncle Joe and Aunt Martha, Uncle Joe is Bill's dad's brother. We went out to visit and have dinner with them. Such a great time, makes you miss them even more!!

The deer come right behind Mike and Jolene's house in their backyard, right by the pond, where the alligators live.

We are being treated to a wonderful time with our East Coast Manions, being shown all over the area. We went to Bill's (our nephew Bill) softball game and got to watch him play.









Uncle Bill had to show Bill how to play tennis, ha ha, but Uncle Bill is happy to report, he still has it and wupped up on his nephew!!









They have a lovable black lab and he loves to go fishing, and swimming.









Bill and his brother Mike went fishing and Bill reeled in a alligator!!

Butterfly Garden















We are in Palm Beach, Florida with our family. Bill's brother Mike and his wife Jolene and our nephews Bill and John!! yay!! We love being here visiting with them, never see them enough. Our weather, once again, has been great. Bill and Mike have been fishing right in their neighborhood they have a ton of lakes and can fish right here, and the alligators are in all of the ponds!!










We went to Epcot Center yesterday and it was a lot of fun. It's like going to a garden, the landscaping is incredible. You walk around a lake and visit all the "countries". We ate in Germany and had a great meal and fun entertainment too.

Manatee Springs State Park, Florida near Chiefland, FL

On the riding trails at Manatee

Our campsite




We're at Manatee Springs State Park in Chiefland, Florida. There are manatees here, but we haven't seen any yet. Really pretty campground, lots of riding/hiking trails. You can rent canoes and then go hunting for manatees and springs you can swim in.
We are very thankful for anti-itch medicine for the bug bites.
We stopped along the road and met the cutest man and bought Tupelo Honey and Mayhaw jelly, only around this area he said.
The Azaleas are so big and beautiful here in the south, they're everywhere.

White squirrels, very friendly
