Visiting Lake Land and Family

Saturday March 7 2020

   Today we did some site seeing today!  After breakfast we headed out to the Circle B Bar Reserve.  But first was lunch at Blackburn's BBQ at Eagle Lake.  The food was great we split the three meat platter which was a good thing because we barely finished it.   We each got an iced tea.....the lady handed us the cups we just started to laugh.  They had to be at least 64 oz we had to use both hand to carry them.  Now off to the Circle B.  The place was pretty busy and we had second thoughts after hunting

Yes they were huge,

they are not caged but in the swamp

and we are walking beside the swamp!!

for a parking spot. 

It was really nice a three mile hike around a wet land preserve. What a great place we saw wildlife of all kinds.  Gators, birds, racoons, armadillos and even a Bald Eagle.  Check out the link to the pictures, we took the good camera.  And yes the gators were that big.  It took over three hours and we only walked half of the trails.  Back to the Moho a long walk for Rudy he wasn't allowed at the Circle B, to many gators.

   Cloudy, cool and very windy today.  After a quick breakfast we packed up and headed down to visit with Jen and Greg over lunch.  We stopped for ice cream to go with the fresh apple pie Greg made

Jen and Greg!!

us.  However,  first we all had a fresh salad with grilled chicken to help offset the pie and ice cream.  We had a nice time visiting most of the afternoon.  They are getting ready to head north first week of April and are not coming back to that site next year so they are selling and getting rid of stuff they can't take.  It was after 4pm until we finally headed back home.  Made it back home,  went for a nice walk with Rudy and then it was dinner time.  We struggled with what to eat, left over pie and ice cream or just left overs.  I checked my blood sugar and decided we better have the left over stuffed cabbage.  The pie would have to wait.

  Good news we don't have the virus yet.  So we made a good breakfast on grill and headed out to the crowded grocery store for Lysol wipes, face masks and of course toilet paper …. shelves are empty.

up the kids!!

  Just kidding we did cook breakfast on the grill.  Then we waited for lunch,  yes it was pie and ice cream.  OH YUM.  After the sugar over load we packed up the bike headed over to Lake Wales park for some exercise.  The wind just won't quit it is blowing almost 20 mph again today and made the bike ride difficult.  Back to the Moho and had home made beef BBQ for dinner.
