Home at last

Well our adventure was fantastic, great time, alot of meeting good friends. We learned alot about travelling, eating and relaxing. We realize that we missed of course our families, Tim Hortons, and baths (we did have showers) but not necessarily in that order. The house is really quite big compared to the motor home and I can hardly wait for the snow to melt to work in the garden because in Florida it was spring and the flowers were everywhere. Since Kyle has the bird we will get to pick him up on Friday when we head to Waterloo to see everyone even my dear sister (the cripple) that has the broken leg. Jenna and Brad won't be there because she has to work but news is she is going to college in the fall and that was one surprise in Florida when she told me...I'm very happy about that. Well back to reality since work has to be done that includes laundry and lots of it.

Well we have learned a few things on our adventure to Florida:
1.When sitting at a campfire always make sure that your feet stay planted on the ground…ask Louise.
2. Always take the jeep first to the site you are going on to make sure you like it and then when arriving make sure you really, really like the site before you set up.
3. When going on a pontoon boat never let Walt drive because if you do you will surely get wet.
4. Always bring your camera even if it is a trip to the washrooms, you never know what you might see.
5. Never assume that the stick on road is really a stick.
6. Always let Debbie go out first to find the fire ant hills because they do like her.
7. Always bring a bag when going for a walk on the beach because Debbie does like her treasures.
8. When pushing off a dock never push with a sore leg because it could leave you hanging.
9. All wood is not created equal…the stuff in Florida does not burn, how do they have forest fires.
10. Shopping with Walter is certainly an experience because no matter what he is buying there is a deal to be had. (Free bubblegum anyone.)
11. It’s such a small world…Windsor and Waterloo.
12. Always check and make sure your have heat before leaving for home.

Our Adventures on the pontoon boat

This is our second start of the trip since Walt the captain of the ship took a wave wrong (head on) and buried the boat in a 3 foot wave. Most on board got soaked
lesson no. 1 - do not hit a wave straight on you must take the waves at the side
lesson no. 2 - when beaching a pontoon boat all forms of human life must be at the rear of the boat because the sudden stop will launch you off the boat and then always remember the tide does go down
lesson no. 3 - check on the weather .... high winds create high waves and high waves create pontoon boat to be very unstable and then its called hang on to your ass but we did have fun
