More Food, More Kayaking, More Shopping

More pictures of people talking and eating food. More pictures of the peaceful river. No pictures of today's shopping but know that Sarah and I now have plenty of "sun shade" cloth to do what ever we want.  A nice new patio rug, a couple of tire covers, a nice shade for the awning and a sunscreen for the front windshield......  Take it from someone who has seen these priced at dog shows, we did very good.

Soo's Diana guarding the kayak "borrowing" area.   Soo's campsite was right next to the kayak launching point. Very convenient for everyone


Dinner at Soo's place Monday evening.





Tuesday some of us took turns taking additional paddles on the lazy river and met up with the big turtles.  I just waved at the 14 foot gator on the way back. Grandpa gator was sunning himself on the bank and Sandy and I didn't really want to bother him.


Sandy promised not to tell on Stuart and how long it took him to give up his complaining about being so close to water and not being allowed to jump in.   He did get tired....


Sandy on ahead....





Pictures of the kayaks because folks have asked what they really look like. This one is the "ducky" looking Sea Eagle.



 This one is the Advanced Element. Nan and I both have one and find that it fits our bodies and long legs.



This one is Liz's and fits her Liz size body well.  Liz's model is no longer made but has served her well and is lighter weight than the Advance Element above.  Just to show you that they come in all sort of styles, sizes and weights.


Dinner Tuesday night at Linda and Sandy's site.   And the night that the rangers came.... :=)   If the crabby folks only remember that we are old and whatever noise and laughter we might make at 6pm will not be a problem come 9 o'clock.  The rangers took one look at us and knew we were trouble.  We did have to move a few cars......




Tonight's meal was at Dawn's site and Margie seemed busy with her camera so you will have to check her blog for those pictures....  

I am heading out tomorrow to have lunch with my cousin and his wife.  The cold front moves in tonight. The weatherman said it might only go up to 65 degrees or so tomorrow.  (Sorry Ohio.)

  1. Nice job of showing the differences between the kayaks. That will help a lot of ladies looking to buy one.

  2. Yes, thanks... I've already been out on Amazon looking at them. I might start a thread asking what advice you each have - what to look for, what to avoid, etc. But thought I should probably really try one before making a purchase. ha!
    Love all the pics of the GTG - each person shows a slightly different perspective so thanks for all the time & effort this takes.
