An Unexpected Nice Day!

Ken and I were up at 7:30, got ready, and ate breakfast, leaving at 9 to play pickleball.  Today there were about 10 of us and again, we had a great time. It was so hot and humid (around 86) and we sure did a lot of sweating!!!  Fred stopped by to take some photos of Ken and I "in action".  We maybe improving, but it is a slow process!  After 2 hours of hard play we were hot and tired and headed back to Waldo.  We consumed lots of water and some fruit before going on a walk with Fred and Doloris!

Fred took all these great action shots!

By then it was time for lunch and by 1 we were at the pool (the water felt so good) to play water volleyball.  Fred and Doloris joined in too!  There were about 14 of us who played and it is a type of volleyball I have never seen or played before.  You can just throw the ball over to serve and you can hit it as many times as it takes to get it over the net, it just can't touch the water and you can't catch it!  There is a learning curve to this game, because you feel like you have to back away after you hit or you feel like you should "volley".  That's just not how it is done!  We played til 3 and had a lot of fun.  

Showers felt great following all this exercise and Ken decided a nap was a good idea too!  I sat with my knee propped with ice on it.  I must have twisted it somehow playing pickleball.  Sure hope it feels better in the morning, for we are having too much fun playing pickleball to give it up for a day.

They had predicted a very cloudy day with scattered thunderstorms, but we woke to lots of sunshine with some clouds rolling in around 3:30.  There were a few light showers around dinner time, but really didn't affect anything.  Again we cooked over an open fire.  After dinner we treated ourselves to ice cream at the CG store.  Ken was the only one who had restraint tonight - no ice cream for him!!!!

Then the game playing begun with the men winning Skip-Bo right at the end and the same thing happenedd playing Haus!  Not sure what is going on!!!!!  Oh well, tomorrow is another day!  To our separate "homes" around 11:30.
