Ken and I were up by 7:30, ate breakfast, and got ready for Pickleball. We also called 3 of our granddaughters to wish them a happy 1st day of school Cali and Sam started kindergarten and Bria is in 2nd grade. How quickly they grow up!!
I had some trouble running around the court today, for my hip is still giving me a problem. It is soon time for that to feel better, but maybe I have to stop playing for a couple days if I want to see an improvement - NOT! We played for about 2 1/2 hours, with sometime to sit out and rest between games. I felt like I was improving for some of the games and then like a new player for several other ones. Practice, practice, practice is what is required! I guess we will have to pick CG's that have pickleball courts from now on!!!
We were back to Waldo by 12 and did somethings on our computers. Then I got on the phone with Melissa and we made reservations at Myakka State Park in Florida for Oct. 22 to Oct. 27 and were able to get sites beside each other - WOW! Then we both made reservations for the Thousand Trails Orlando CG for Oct. 12 to the 22nd. It is exciting to start making definite plans for the fall. After lunch we talked to Jamie regarding our trip our west. We have decided to drive home from Florida for Easter, leaving Waldo there, stay home about 1 week and then drive back, get Waldo and begin a trip to the southwest. We will do the northwest portion of the USA in a future trip. Hope to get all the way to California before returning home in mid to late July. Both Ken and I felt that we want to be home some of the summer to camp with the granddaughters and have the traditional week's vacation with the family at Bethany Beach, DE. We didn't feel right to miss such important events. We are very happy with this change of plans.
Ken "read" and took a short nap. I just relaxed and played on the I-Pad. Then we took a walk around part of the CG, stopping to talk to Pete and Joyce. They are such great people. We really enjoy their friends, Bob and Carol too! All 4 are good pickleball players. Ken and I decided to play one round of miniature golf and this time I won by a large margin. Ken started to do some clean-up around the campsite while I made dinner. We talked to Jamie and then Bria and Cali to find out how they liked their 1st day of school. They loved everything about it. Jamie told us that Samantha, Lanie's daughter, said she liked school, but was very tired. She has all day kindergarten and thinks she will stay home tomorrow and just go the next day! Lanie may have a challenge on her hands!
We played pickleball again this evening starting at 7:30. Isaac is a teenager camping across from us with his parents and grandmother. He does cyber school and loves to play pickleball. Tomorrow morning he has classes and will not be able to play. So he asked the regular morning players if they would play this evening, and we all said yes. He is such a polite southern boy who says the worst part about being home schooled is not having friends or participating in sports. To add to that, his family is on the road camping a large portion of the year, so having friends is even more difficult. We played under the lights till 9 and then headed back to Waldo. We probably won't be able to walk tomorrow morning!
Sounds like such fun!
