a free dessert. The last show we saw that day were the Rock A Doo Wop singers. Singing and dancing to Classic favorites. a good group. That day there were several toddlers on the front row. Two of which were trying to dance to the music. Two couples had 7 children under the age of 4 with them. Multi-racial children. We wondered the circumstances, but did not ask. Just enjoyed watching the children.
Critter Castaways. Various animals do tricks to help the castaways get along on their island. Many of the animals are from shelters. A fun show to watch. Birds flying here and there. A rat, pig, porcupine, dogs and cats, duck. you name it and it was probably there.
The Garden Aviary is an interesting spot. Many pretty birds. And they will sit on your hand and to drink the special nectar that you can buy for 10 cents or a quarter. the children were fascinated and some a little timid about having birds that close. One little girl had a bird on her head and did not realize it until her daddy showed her a picture of the bird.
don't know this person.
These girls were not sure of the birds, but wanted to feed them.
this is an anteater. He was pacing around the enclosure. Odd looking.
and this rhino came out just for us. Or so it seemed. He hid behind a post for a few minutes and then came out so we could get his picture. He is orange looking as the dirt is a red dirt and they roll in the dirt. the Elephants also looked brownish from blowing the dust on their backs.
and the alligators. Being lazy in the sun. Did you know that alligators eat very little from November until April? They do not hibernate, they must have some water every day or so. Get in the water. And then in April they will start eating many things. What ever they can catch in the water. I wondered why you could get close to them when we were near the Everglades. They just lay in the sun. No, we did not get too close, but did walk by them. (a few years ago)
Rem. And her 80th surprise birthday party. She was completely surprised. We had a good time and met more RVing women. The park where they were located is all women. Men must leave by 7 pm. A beautiful park owned by the people that have lots there. Some with park models, some with "garages" for your RV and just some cement pads for those passing by. this was on Saturday the 23rd. Rem drives the RV part time. Judy, more of the time. We met them in Texas about 10 years ago. And found out that they are Hoosier Cruisers.

Sunday, while at Busch Gardens we also saw the Dance group again. We take our time at the Gardens and enjoy people watching. And usually find someone from Indiana.
Monday, I was going to wash. so nice to finally learn how to use the machine in the coach. But this day it was not working properly. It would take on water, but would not agitate. It is a front loading machine, small, but I have gotten to like it. Well, we went down to Camping World and found out that they charge $209, just to LOOK at it. Then comes deciding what is wrong, parts and labor. We said we would think about it. so in the afternoon we went over to Dick and Connie's and played some Joker. Boys 3 Girls 2.
Tuesday, I went to the laundry mat about 5 miles away. The campground laundry has been closed due to a broken pipe during the freeze two weeks ago. The rec room reopened today.
Did bring some of the clothes home to hang out on the line. Last night it got cold. (for Florida)
And we had our little heater going during the night. We close the door to the living room and the heater keeps it just warm enough.
Wednesday, we did our usual flea market run at Plant City. Found some silver this trip. Stopped and got a sandwich and then on to Parksdale. Since they are not serving parfaits we took a throw away bowl with us and split the strawberry sundae. No tangerines today, but did buy some sweet Dunlap grapefruit. Bought some sweet strawberry onions at the flea market and some tomatoes. The price has gone up on some of the fruits and veggies. Checked out a couple other places on the way home, but no luck on info for the washer. Next week we go to Brooksville for a South Eastern rally and will check with the vendors there to see what they have to say and sell. Splendide is the name of the washer/dryer combo that is in many RV's.
I really should write here every day as I get behind and do not remember all that I might say.
so for now, I have run out of steam. Hope you had a good day. jkc
