A Fun-Filled Day with Barry and Deb!

Ken and I headed out for a walk around the CG at 7.  It was about 53 degrees, but calm and sunny.  A very nice morning for a walk.  We walked about an hour getting over 6,500 steps - a good start for the day.  Ken packed his lunch, we ate breakfast and we were on our way to Barry and Deb's KOA CG by 9:15.  

Today Ken and Barry did their thing while Deb and I went craft shopping.  She had never been to a Hobby Lobby and I was happy to introduce her to this great craft store.  Deb drove and it was about a 40 minutes drive, but of course, worth every mile!  We were looking for scrapbooking paper to make cards using the iris fold technique which Deb learned from a fellow camper.  We had fun mixing and matching paper designs and colors.  It is like picking fabric for making a quilt.

From there we stopped at a McDonald's and Deb treated me to my 1st Mocha Frappe - I hope I don't get addicted!!!  Then we made a stop at Michaels and Joann Fabrics to check out their papers and I needed some picture frames for Waldo.  Of course, I didn't mind looking at the beads for my jewelry creations. Deb makes earrings too, so we were on the same mission!

We returned to their CG around 3:15 and told the "boys" we needed their help to unload the van - just kidding!!!  Ken and Barry had spent the 5 hours riding bike around a county park where they saw many beautiful "Florida" birds and an alligator.  They rode about 12 miles and had a great time.  They also spent about 45 minutes sitting outside at McDonalds where Barry had a mocha frappe and Ken a diet soda.  They were sitting on the picnic table at Barry and Deb's Airstream when we returned. 

Nice biking path in the park!

The alligator looks hungry!!!!

Ken and I drove back to Waldo, did some clean-up and started preparing dinner for the 4 of us.  I made a large salad with all the trimmings and Ken made "Sex on the Beach" drinks (a request from Deb).  Ken does make the best drinks! They arrived at 5:30 and we had grilled salmon, pork, and chicken with quinoa and a tossed salad.  We cleaned up and then Deb was excited to see what new games we had to teach them.  So we played 2 games of Skip-Bo, a new game for them.  Unfortunately, the men won both games.  Not sure what happened!!!!  Then we had enough time for a game of Toss-up and 2 games of LCR.  It was a fun evening.  They left at 9:15.  Ken did dishes while I worked on this post.  This was a fun day!!!!  

Skip-Bo is underway!
