Over Christmas break, we were able to go to visit my parents at their place in Winter Haven, FL. It was one of the most fun trips we've had in a long time. Their house is in a retirement community and it seems like they have activities and games going all the time. We learned how to play shuffleboard, bocce ball, got in a few rounds of mini golf and had fun walking in the sunshine and riding bikes. One of the coolest things about my parents' new place is that my Mom's sisters live there too. We had a lot of fun with Aunt Wanda and Bob playing games every night but they did seem to beat us at every new game they taught us. We missed seeing Aunt Jo and Uncle Buz by about 2 weeks since they went home to Indy.
My Dad suprised Kyle with a sea plane lesson for his Christmas gift. Kyle had a great time and got to help land a take off on a few nearby lakes and flew low over the water looking for gators. My Dad also bought Kyle his own log book so he coud document any further flying lessons he might have in the future.
Here we are waiting for Kyle to land. What a beautiful day!
When my parents bought the house, they also got this awesome 3 wheel bike as a bonus. Love it!
We played a lot of putt putt. Its one of Kyle's favorites. Here are Kyle and Bob assessing the course.
The new year's eve rummy game.
Playing Bocce ball.
During Christmas, my parents got a Wii so we had a lot of fun playing new games on that too. I thought it was neat that they were able to plan poinsettas outside and they looked so festive and beautiful. We also sampled some really good local restaurants there and always made the early bird specials. We are so happy that Mom and Dad are enjoying their retirement and hope to visit again sometime soon.
