The Adventures of the Southernmost Mercers: Escape to Florida...Okeechobee Part 1

The day finally came for our first trip back to Florida since we moved. The original plan was to head down Wednesday morning but then I found out Jeanette, my friend that now lives in New Hampshire, would be in Jupiter visiting her Mom and flying out on Wednesday so the plan changed and we headed down Tuesday instead. Our time together was not long enough but we were able to eat some great food (C.R.Chicks..YUM!) and catch up as the kiddies played. Pnut adored Reagan, Jeanette's youngest daughter... not so sure the feelings were returned :o)

Nothin better than a stinky dog bed to play on!

Ann Marie, Reagan, Pnut and Spud.

After we said our goodbyes and left Jeanette's, we began to head out to Okeechobee but decided last minute to swing through our old hood instead. We ended up not making it out to Okee until after 11pm...always fun to drive those alligator lined roads late at night! Eeeek!! I miss our old neighbors... don't miss the neighborhood or Florida, but the people I liked :o(

In Halifax(?) you have to wear the hat in order to take a shot... or vice versa?

The infamous Jeffe giving the boys a "new" helmet for their go cart.

Spud learned what a bidet was by turning it on... and drenching himself and the walls with water. LOL!

Finally made it to Nanna's house late, late, late.

We got to enjoy Nanna's neighborhood and pool all day Wednesday, although it was a little lonely being at Nanna and Pop Wally's house without them. (She and Pop Wally forgot they had eye doctor appointments in Boca so they were gone almost the entire day.) We did our best to have fun though.
