We had a really good time in Fl. Sam and I got to go and watch the Falcon's Football game Thurs. night without the boys, and they won, so that made it even better!
Friday, we went out on the Homosassa River and out into the Gulf of Mexico on a boat. We had a good time. Didn't see much out in the Gulf, but we did see the monkeys on Monkey Island, and Manatee's up the river. A couple of Manatee's (a Momma and baby) came up to the boat and started chewing on the anchor rope. Apparently they do that a lot, they like the way the rope feels on their jaws from what I've been told. Then they played with us by pulling the boat by the anchor rope for a little ways. It was really cool. Sam jumped out of the boat and swam in the river for a little bit. Glen got his feet wet in the gulf. Will looked really silly in the life vest.
Saturday, the roads were all blocked off and we were unable to leave the house due to the seafood festival, so we went and checked that out. It was very crowded but fun. Then, we went back to the house and had a bonfire. After that Glen and us girls watched Toy Story 3, while the boys went down to the shed and had a few beers.
Sunday we stopped by Grandma Teresa and Grandpa Tom's in Homosassa, and visited with them before we drove over to Lakeland to see Grandma Nancy, Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Marilyn, Jake, Kasey, and Kally. We had a great time visiting with them. Haven't seen them in a very long time. At Grandma Nancy's Glen got to see some cows up close and hear them moo. After those visits, we went to Sarasota, to stay with Papa John and Grandma Wanda. That was fun too.
Monday we spent all day out by the pool and relaxing. Later that night, the boys watched Glen and Will so the girls could go over to Siesta Key and check out the beach. We stopped at a gift shop while we were there and some how Glen mad a killing even though he wasn't there! Not quite sure how that one happened!
Tuesday we got up early and headed back. The 8 hr drive took 11 almost 12! We got stuck in some accident traffic and of course had to stop to eat and feed Will. We were lucky the Old Girl got us home. The transmission started acting up again on our way down to Fl and screamed and fussed the whole trip. We were very worried we weren't gonna make it.
The X-Terra is now back in the shop and the guy said that the bearings had gone out again and he was gonna try something different this time. Luckily, it is still under warranty. Hopefully, this is the last time we have to deal with the transmission!
