So, So Proud!

This has been a really long week. May is definately not the month to be RV'ing in Florida. The summer weather is kicking in; the heat, humidity, and the afternoon showers and thunderstorms. That, and sometimes we feel we're the only people in the park, with the exception of those who work here. But there's only a few days left.

The park actually started filling up on Thursday for the long Memorial Day weekend. There are probably more than 100 rigs in the park right now, the Hot Fudge Shop has opened for breakfast for the weekend, a cookout is planned along with a few other fun events. We even scheduled some beginner pickleball - but unfortunately it's been rain instead of pickleball.

In preparation for leaving on Tuesday we've got a lot accomplished. Outside, Rich has been busy sorting and storing in the storage compartments. Had someone come in a few days ago and clean the RV. (Still can't use water here at the park). Inside I've been packing away and packing things that have to go with us for the next several months.

The highlight of the week was getting pictures and an update on what Denny and the family have been up to.

A new picture of Dennis dressed to enjoy his new Toy!

It's baseball season and one of my favorite things to do is watch the Tampa Rays and they stay atop the baseball standings as the "best team in baseball" this year. I know that Dennis is an Atlanta Braves fan - but baseball enjoyment in Iowa is watching the QC River Bandits. The Quad City Bandits are a Class A, Minor League baseball team affiliated with the St. Louis Cardinals and play at the Modern Woodman Park in Davenport Iowa. Above are pictures of Dennis, with Dalton and Chauna at some of the recent games and events.

On May 21st Modern Woodman Park was PINK to support Susan G Korman for the Cure. Pink Jerseys worm by the River Bandit players were auctioned. In the picture above (top left) Chauna is presented the jersey she won from player, D"Marcus Ingram, and Dalton (upper right) is presented the jersey he won from player Ryde Rodrigues.

Both Dalton and Chauna are playing baseball again this year. We understand that Chauna is quite the little player and played great as she and her Kiwanis team won their last game 9-2. And Dennis writes that Dalton's team, the Pleasure Pools, just "slapped their second opponents with a shut out. They are 13-0 and outscored them 148-34".

This month was also the Achievement Awards Ceremony. Dennis wrote:. "Lil C (Chauna) walked across 5th grade with excellent grades and Lil D, (Dalton) got scholars for straight A's with some pluses (+) (4.0) thru 6th grade. "

And above, Chauna receives her 500 cookie award for Girl Scouts.

What do we think of this family? Denny says it best.
