More Fun at Gettysburg Farm CG

Yesterday was a day filled with lots of fun times.  We had tea and coffee with Doloris and Fred and then ate breakfast in our separate units.  It was too cold to eat outside.  I believe I prefer the weather in Florida for camping!!!  I am not so good in cold weather!!!!

The 4 of us took the 2 mile walk around the CG checking out the beautiful tent sites by the water and stopping to pet the animals - cows, horses, sheep, llamas, bunnies and burros.  Really enjoyed watching the beautiful peacock try to catch the attention of the female peacock.  She just had no interest!!!!

How Beautiful!

The grass always looks greener on the other side!


The llamas really liked Fred!

 
Sam and Kathy arrived around 11:00.  After eating lunch outdoors, the competitive men vs. the women games began.  It started with Kubb where the women won 3 to 2.  Then the bocce tournament began.  What fun.  George and Jean enjoyed watching the competition.  Bocce ended in a 1 to 1 tie.  The tie breaker will be played on Friday morning. 

Let the Kubb games begin!

And the winner is.......the Ladies!!!

Bocce gets sooooo competitive!  We use a stick
and a tape measure for verifying who is the closest!

The men built a fire for our "burger night".  We were so happy that George and Jean joined us.  The sun was out and the wind had died down, so it was enjoyable to eat outside.  Jean had never had a s'more, so the initiation began. 
Unfortunately, I had bought the new s'more marshmallows to try (there are square shaped a relatively thin to fit onto a graham cracker) and they are not large enough for a regular s'more.  Very disappointing.  New marshmallows are definitely needed.  While sitting around the campfire it started to rain, so the festivities ended by 8:45.  Everyone came to Willie to see the results of American Idol.  Bedtime was 10.  

I love camping, but I definitely prefer warmer weather.  Friday is supposed to be around 60 degrees with winds up to 25 miles per hour!  Wow!  Not a good day for bike riding!
