Well, let’s see…..what else did we do to make sure the kiddos were entertained.  One day we went to the IMGA History and Science Center.  It was a place for kids, lots to see and lots to touch and experience

Sunken Ship

Stow away 😉

Mr. Frog….Riiibbbbiiiit

He looks fake doesn’t he?

Colorful lizard

Look at the size of those ears!  Man, I bet he can hear a pin drop from a mile away.

Handsome man and his boys

Let’s pet them…Heck no!

This was where you could pet and feed the baby stingrays.

We won’t bite

They were having none of that, thank you very much!

Then we went to a room that had a bunch of fun things the kids could do to see how motion worked

How does this work?

Skeet ball in a museum

What kind of fossils can we see?

Who remembers what this is?

Did you ever think you’d see a phone booth in a museum?  Now I really feel old :(.

Virtual game

With this game, if they used their hands, they could light fires, throw spears etc.  The last time I tried one of these I nearly fell on the floor, and I was sitting in a chair!  So I passed on this thing.

Our Grandson….reporting from the moon!

I’m pretty but I bite!

Another day we went to Fisherman’s Village.  We have been here several times buy car and by boat.  This time we saw an alligator, and it had Crocs on!

Cute little guy ;).

We also found this painted rock 

This is kind of a “thing” down here.  People/kids paint rocks and then on the back side they put a Facebook/Rocking Punta Gorga.  People who find the rocks, like me, go to that Facebook page, post a picture of the rock and tell where we found it.  I was even able to find the family that painted it and let them know I found their rock.  Then the next day while we were at another park, I put the rock down

Who will find it next?

for someone else to find.  Too bad someone on Facebook pointed out that you don’t want to put the rocks on the ground because dogs pee on them…..whoops ;).  But I bet it is something fun to do with your kids or by yourself ;).

Another day, Gary and Mark went out fishing, hopefully to bring home dinner, and Jenny and the kids and I went to Lakes Park.  This was a very cool park!  They have a mile and ½ little train ride that you could go on

Watch for cars

Chilly Train ride

A very nice play ground

Fun playground equipment

You could rent some small boats and paddle around the lake

Little boats you can rent

Although we did see this baby alligator on the shore

Big Bad Alligator

which makes taking those little boats out not very high on my to-do list ;).  They even had 6 passenger bike tram thingies you could rent.  Those looked like more work but much safer, unless you run somebody over ;).

You can tell by these pictures that they must have lost a lot of trees in the hurricane

Wind blown trees

They had several little islands in this lake and most of the trees looked like this.  Blown over so you see the roots.

This park also had great trails and plenty of spots to picnic.  All in all, it was a really good park.  I’ll think we’ll go back there again next year and bring the big boys ;).  Speaking of big boys, the great white hunters didn’t catch anything.  So much for providing for the women and children.

While they visiting, the little one decided he can’t live without being right by his Mama.  He cries “Mama, Mama, Mama” until he can see her again.  On the way home from the park we stopped and picked up lunch.  Jenny went in and I stayed out in the car with the two boys.  The little guy instantly started his chant “Mama, Mama, Mama”

Crying for Mama

I chimed in

WHAAAAAAAA!

And so did big brother

I WANT MY MAMA!

We had fun, although anyone passing by was wondering what the heck we were doing in the car ;).

After these fun filled days and and many hours in the pool, I think Mom was done :0

Night, night……..

Isn’t that what vacation is for?  To catch up on your sleep? LOL.
