Our Summer Vacation - Day 10

Well it’s now Thursday morning – Todd and I went for a big hike up a mountain – in the area at which we’re staying and they have really big steep hills, so walking up a giant hills was like a mountain too me. We walked for 40 minutes giving us a hard 2 mile walk.

saw this sign while walking...


At around 10am – well it was 10am because that’s what time the pool opens, we decided to check out the pool. We leave tomorrow and we haven’t been there yet. It was pretty nice, one person there – then more showed up afterwards. There was a single Mom there with her 2 boys, Mike 9 and Daniel 11 – both very small for the age playing. We let them join in on our fun and beach ball. The one boy Daniel missed the ball at one point, it went right behind him and his Mom said hey stupid it’s behind you. I was like what? I never heard a Mom or one of my friends for that call their kid stupid, I thought that was so wrong. Both boys wanted to play in the deep end, but their Mom wanted them in the short end as she called it…and again the boys said I want to play in the high end. They also had floats in their arms!! We also stopped what appeared to be a little red/orange lizzard, poor thing looked like he was seeing his last days. Never seen anything like him before.





So then we met 2 other couples there, one lady heard me telling another lady where we were from and we just hit it off. I’m such a people person – both couples live in Sarasota 8 months out of the year - I think that's what Jackie said? We talked for a long time; their names are John & Jackie, and John and Sharon. I’m attaching a picture of the four below. I’m sure once they get back to Florida, we will hook up.



Then the funny thing is, there were a lot of people – we had 3 beach balls going on in the pool. There appears to be other families who play with their children like we do in the pool. It was such a nice thing to see, you don’t always see families playing with their children. And then all of the sudden for some odd reason, everyone got out of the pool at the same time. I found that to be a little odd, Todd said he had put a Babe Ruth in the pool. I laughed so hard and the first thing I thought of it was a turd. But before he said that, I had to ask him out loud if he farted. He really didn’t put a candy bar in the pool. I guess the pool pump stopped running, but no one knew that.
