No Doughnuts for You!

The kids were excited about a notice on the camp's signboard announcing free coffee and doughnuts at 8 am. Amazingly, they were all up by 7:45 am and getting themselves dressed. Brock and I poured our own coffee and we all headed to the clubhouse. When we were outside the doors, we could hear quite a lot of chatter inside. We walked through the doors and saw the same gentlemen who had stopped by and invited us to the Thanksgiving meal. "Aww, you missed the doughnuts." He said and he was serious. A very nice lady with a hot dog hat on her head came over to us and introduced herself and let us know very kindly that when this group says 8 am they mean it and they are serious about their doughnuts. I guess there is a raffle (50-.50 tickets) so we'll try not to arrive later than 8:00 this next Saturday. ;o) We enjoyed getting to visit with a few of the people and the hostess brought out some leftover pound cake and cupcakes for the kids so they were sated. Everyone here at this park has been so nice.

Here's the gator guarding the entrance to the campground.

After breakfast, we decided to drive in to the actual town of Haines City and check it out. We drove to Lake Eva Community Center. There was a great playground there that the kids enjoyed for a little while. Then, we drove around a little more and then headed back to the campground.

Lots to climb on

We relaxed independently for a little while and then Brock had a little bit of work so I took the kids to the pool. It was beautiful and sunny and the kids had a great time. I enjoyed the sun and my book again. I think Brock was able to finish up his work and enjoy a little nap in the quiet trailer before coming out to join us.

The rest of the evening we just ate cheese pizza, watched mindless TV, and then went to bed. It was a good day.
