Just Plain, Old, Florida Fun

Though people always assume that when you go to FL for vacation, you will be going to all of the amusement parks in Orlando, our family really just spends most of the time having regular, outdoor fun. Danny got the chance to go fishing again this year. Ed took him out twice. The first time, it was so cold that even the fish didn't want to move; but as you can see, the second trip went better.

As you well know, the boys feel the need to find climbing trees wherever we go. The woods surrounding Mimi's house is full of great climbing trees, and it's always a bonus to have a fun uncle to climb with!

We've been studying WWI in history this month, so you can imagine the boys' delight in having the chance to dig a real trench which had been begun by Uncle NC a few years ago. The boys spent hours digging, and A was happy to recover some "artifacts" from Uncle NC's former pellet gun wars. Their trench was quite impressive and the boys had fun digging, wallowing, and jumping across it.
