TWG :: vol 33 :: Harbor Lakes RV

Harbor Lakes RV :: Port Charlotte, FL :: KS -> FL Trip

We only had a 3.5 hour drive to our destination, and were going to be parked for a few days, which was a fantastic change!  We pulled in and parked by 1pm, shoved some food in the kids and threw swim suits on, and the kids were in the pool, swimming laps with grandpa as fast as they could!  

I picked a campsite directly across from the pool on purpose and it made things so much more convenient!  We are staying in what looks to be a pretty big Snow Birds resort, so since it's summer, the place is practically empty!  It has a great pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, lots of empty roads for the kids to ride their bikes around, a bazillion bunnies, and alligators.  Royal saw a handful of baby alligators in the canal that runs through the park, and we all saw a single on at a different time, but I was never able to get a picture of one!  So, you'll just have to believe me.  :)

The boys loaded up on some food before they left to go Tarpon fishing in the afternoon.

Willow and I were planning on making cookies and swimming in the pool all afternoon and evening while the boys were gone, but then this happened.

Willow declared that now that it was raining, we were just going to have to be lazy bugs, and that meant watching a lot of movies because that's what lazy bugs do.  I couldn't really argue, being a lazy bug sounded nice.  :)  But then the rain stopped, and we took Sam for a walk, and he hunted bunnies.  :)

And then Willow went swimming and then had to warm up in the hot tub.

Willow fed the campground bunnies my marigold....twice...not sure it's going to make it now...

Jayden got the one and only tarpon, out of the two different times they went out fishing.  Wayne's been down here 3 different times, with the same fishing captain, and has never had so few fish caught, so this trip was a little disappointing, but at least Jayden got to experience the fight of a tarpon.  It took him 25 minutes to reel it in!

We were happy the boys made it back from fishing!

We also went to the beach in Boca Grande and played in the Gulf of Mexico!

We hit the road again tomorrow and start our long trek to Washington!
