Monday morning very bright and early, Mum, Pop and me drove first to Lake Placid, Florida.  We drove and drove and drove.  It was kinda boring but the weather kept getting warmer and warmer so I was glad.  I did sleep a lot of the way because there wasn’t nothing else to do.  Except stop at Harley Davidson store, which Pop did a lot.

Finally got to Lake Placid to I my Mum’s Aunts house at 7:00 PM.  They were patiently waiting for us and the first thing we did was go to a restaurant to eat.  I got to meet my Mum’s cousin Jim.  I liked him right away.  He also had a beard, but no hair on the top of his head.  I wondered how that can be but I didn’t want to ask him.  They are very nice people and she made us a big breakfast the next morning.  They have an orange tree in the back yard and they just go out and pick oranges off the tree for breakfast.  How cool is that.  They have a thing called a canal in the back yard also and they have a boat there for fishing.  When they want to go fishing they just go in the back yard and drive the boat around to the lake.

I saw this bird (Uncle Ted said it’s called a stork) in their backyard.  Pop wouldn’t let me go outside because he said I’m to little the the stork might think I’m food so I took this picture from inside their sun room.  Isn’t he cool.  They said they had never had one come into their yard before.  I think he maybe never saw one of me before either because he kept looking in the window.

Uncle Ted drove us into their town so we could see murals that are painted on the buildings.  Boy were they cool. It was raining so we didn’t get to go outside to see them but just drove by to look.  Except for this one picture where I made my Mum and Aunt Geneva get out so I could take their picture.  Just look at all of those cowboys and cows.  Pop said it’s just like the old days when the cowboys used to herd the cows.  The picture even made noise.  Pop said “it’s raining out there,I’m not getting out of this car” so I had to take the picture myself.  That was OK, I don’t need to be in every picture.  As you know my Mum loves elephants so I took this   picture just for my Mum.

We had a great time but now it’s time to get back in the car and go see some friends of Mum and Pops.  I never met them before either.  I hope they like me.
