Back from family visit...good times!

                                                

I am back from my family trip to Florida and Georgia, and have lots to tell and show you.  

                                   

I had a wonderful time with my sister and her family ... whether we were standing in line for a ride at Disney World/Epcot Center in Orlando, sitting around talking on the back deck of her home in Georgia, or riding around the lake on their new pontoon. That's my sister Joy on the right, and her oldest daughter, Tammy. Tammy has four boys. I'll show and tell more later when my eyes are more open.

                                   

This is my nephew Tim, Joy's oldest son, with two of his nephews, Casey and Cru. Cru is Tammy's youngest son.There is no better uncle for these boys than Tim.

Altogether, we were ten adults and seven kids... quite a crowd, but great fun. Two of my sister's children, four additional grandkids, plus our son, could not make the trip. They were missed, but I can't even imagine an outing like this with everyone. Well, maybe I could.

The weather was exceptional in Orlando... unbelievable considering it is the middle of July. I expected unforgiving heat, heavy humidity, and a searing sun... but the days were relatively comfortable, with very little humidity. Possibly those storms off the coast kept us cooler? It rained a little bit each afternoon, but not enough to stop anyone from enjoying the theme parks. There was only one day of major cloudiness and heavy rain, but that was the day we stayed in the motel room and just puttered around the resort. A day of rest, you could say.

I've turned on the alerts. Back to my daily journal entries.
