We just returned from our visit to Crystal River Florida, home of Gaga, Deda, Manatee, and Love Bugs. Here are a few pics of all the fun things we did!
fishing with Deda off the dock that is right outside their back door!
Laurie Beth had a new bicycle waiting for her when we arrived at 2:30 in the morning! D and I had no trouble going to sleep, but Gaga, Hey and Laurie Beth stayed up until 5:00 that morning!
Conoe/Kayak trip on the Rainbow River
we saw beautiful homes, river otters, a water snake, a tiny alligator, and lots of birds
lots of beautiful old homes
The next day we rented a boat and went cruising. We also did a little fishing and caught a stingray, a few poisonous catfish and some snapper
The Easter Bunny was able to find Hey and Laurie Beth and left them some treats!
Our friends Cara, Conrad and Peyton came over to celebrate Easter with us. We had an egg hunt, yummy steaks and attempted a photo shoot!
A little late afternoon fishing before bed!
We went to eat at "Neon Leons" a cajun restaurant in which the owner is said to be the brother of Leon in Lynard Skynard. http://www.neonleonszydecosteakhouse.com/ They had a fun cajun inspired two man band that entertained. Laurie Beth really got into the music and danced the night away. Heyward was asked to help play the "necktie."
I really loved getting to see my good friend Cara. I miss her so much and she lives tooooooo far away!
