state of sunshine...resumed

we hung out at the, newly renovated, haines city park. it is really nice with 2 huge playgrounds, a little beach, tennis & basketball courts and a nice trail that goes around the lake. it is most certainly the pride and joy of haines city and much different from the place i grew up on.

 ["manny said my gorgeous." -elly. she calls weston manny. that's a big word for a little boy who's not really talking.;)]

 [the lake i used to swim and jet ski in all the time.]

["oh, i'll never get over my disappointment of not being a boy!"]

[where all the cool kids go in the fL mall.;)]

 [madden loves to go outside and pick oranges and then count them over and over again. it's the best thing about this time of year in fL. we are a little addicted to oj at the moment.=)]

 [a typical looking polk county road only this one is special....;)]

now we are back and i must fight through my withdrawals of sugar and publix.;)
