We enjoyed talking and getting caught up on each others families. On Sunday night, we played Skip-Bo with the women beating the men the best 2 out of 3. A GREAT way to start the week!
On Monday morning, we were all up by 7 am to walk around the campground a couple of times to get our 5 miles (or 10,000+ steps) in. By the time we reached Lake Hancock, the sun was just beginning to rise in all its glorious beauty...
and brightness.
We watched the sun rise for a few minutes and then posed for this sunrise selfie,
Just as we were about to start walking again, Ken noticed a hot air balloon going across the horizon.
We started walking again and then noticed the hot air balloon flying near the meadow behind the campground.
After completing our walk, we enjoyed eating breakfast together outside and talking and laughing some more.
Chuck looked up in the sky and noticed an airplane writing words in the sky. We watched the plane make the letters and wondered how the pilot could possibly know how to write out the letters much less spell out the words. It looked like the pilot had spelled out "Jesus" on the first line but this was almost gone by the time the pilot had finished writing "Love U." The below video has been speeded up. It actually took about 4 minutes for the pilot to spell out "Love U."
On the second line, he went on to spell out "Love U Jesus." How cool is that!
Then, we noticed a big turtle walking in front of Ken and Bonnie's camper. There are several small fenced off areas in the campgrounds to protect the turtle holes. This was the fastest moving turtle I had ever seen. I guess he was trying to get out of the hot sun! This video has not been speeded up. He was just a really fast turtle.
After all the excitement, it was time to play corn hole. Ken got out their new corn hole (or bean bag toss) game and we played a couple of games of corn hole.
These boards are lighter and easier to pack up in a camper. They are more challenging to score on than the wooden boards because the bags slide off and bounce off the boards easily. We played two games with the men winning both games; but the women gave them a good game and didn't make it easy for them!
After playing corn hole in the hot sun, we were ready to cool off in the pool for a little while. The campground has two very nice pools. We got cooled off in the pool and then warmed back up in the nice spa.
After dinner, Ken and Bonnie taught us how to play Pinochle again. We hadn't played since we were together back in March. We played one game of Pinochle with the women coming out victorious! Then, we played a round of the dice game "Toss Up." The men came out winners in Toss Up.
Tuesday morning was warmer and much more humid. We were treated to another beautiful sunrise at Lake Hancock.
I think we all had a few more aches today and the humidity made you feel real sticky. After walking the 2 lap/5 mile walk around the campground and eating some breakfast, Ken got out the cornhole games and set them up between our campers so we could play in the shade this morning.
The games were even closer today with both teams having to go back to 15 when they would score over 21. But the men won both games. Congratulations! Rrrrrrrr. :)
Since the forecast was calling for rain Tuesday afternoon, we decided to run some errands together up to Mt. Dora, Winter Garden, and Altamonte Springs. After getting all the errands done, we finished up with dinner at Sonny's BBQ in Apopka. It was delicious! :)
