Lion Country Safari

Today we seperated the force and made two units of the group. Lauri and Sherri and their families did some bumming around West Palm Beach while the rest of us went to Lion Country Safari. It was wonderful being with John's and Jay's families today. The kids were all so happy and contented that the day was enjoyable. The first part of attraction was our drive through the zoo. I think the rhinoceroses were the most fun. They were just off the road and we could have reached out and touched their noses. We were a three car parade. We chuckled when Jay drove his Infinity SUV away from next to the big guy. We drove near him and got some great pics of him. Another animal thrill was walking up to the feeding area by the giraffes. We had giraffe heads in our hands. That was too cool. The kids loved watching their long tongues slide out about 12 inches.

The rest of the day the kids spent in the splash area and on different rides. They did everything but ride the kitchen sink. There were a variety of different rides and opportunities. I'm worn out. But I sure had fun.

When all returned to Jay's house it was back into the pool and the hot tub. Tasha's mother had cooked a ton of stuff for us for dinner. Pork roast, meat loaf and homemade mac and cheese. She is the queen of cooking. She comes carrying huge foil pans of food of various varieties.

After dinner we all said our goodbyes to John's family as they headed to Orlando for the next couple of days. Later when Ken and I left to return to Jann's house, we said farewell to Sherri and Don's family. It was easy this time as we both know we will see each other in a couple of weeks or less.

Tomorrow we will go to Jay's one more time before heading to Orlando on Wednesday. One at a time, we say goodbye. It's been grand!
