Grammy and Grampie take over guest room

My parents drove down from Michigan for a stay that will take them through the Halloween weekend. We are doing a lot of stuff as I have taken a couple of days off. I am sick though, which has put a damper on my efforts to whack and stack some Florida deer. Here are some photos from the visit thus far...


Ras and and my dad ran a 5K. It was a P.R. for Ras. Dad's P.R. days are long gone.

Dad came in 1st in his age division, Ras came in 3rd. Here they are with their hardware.

Mom, Sam, and Mikey under the Florida fall foliage.

We went to a Fall festival where Mikey took aim at a vicious bear. Moments later, the bear attacked and mauled Grampie.

Mikey demonstrates one of the feats of strength at the Fall Fest.

In front of a huge Agave plant.

A Persian Shield plant. Big.

Ras is the leader of the local Girl Scout group. Last night was the initiation ceremony. Thank you 'mam may I have another!!

Grammy and Sam made Halloween witches finger pretzels. They were scary!!

Great pictures of the native flora. Sounds like a lot of fun. Congrats on the achievements at the race and with the Girl Scouts. Enjoy your family time and Trick or Treat time - hope it is as much fun as in Michigan.
