On Thursday we went to Florida again; this time to register the kids at their new school(s). The family is moving to the Panhandle this summer, in case I didn't mention it. So they got some quality dad-time and we all got a healthy amount of pool time. This trip done learned me a new lesson. Always pack for at least two days more than anticipated. Plans in the potato world change on a dime. :) Mike had a couple trucks break down so we went to the school office on Friday. We found that they work four tens and it were closed. No biggie; we got to check out the Florida farm on the way back (I'll have to post pics of the operation in Hawkinsville to give you an idea. It's quite the setup). It was the last day in that farm and plans were a-brewin' for the next move. Three drivers headed to the Missouri farm that afternoon and one went to Hawkinsville. Initially I was going to drive up with the Missouri crew and shuttle them back for more trucks, but we shuttled them to the Bainbridge, GA farm instead on Saturday (it's 3ish hours away). We got them all moved in only two trips so there was plenty of time to swim with the kids when we got back at 6:30.
Bainbridge is a cute little town with one major downside; no reception. None. I couldn't call, text or use GPS. This made me crabby. I'm sure a lot of it is my che--inexpensive phone. Regardless, we found our way to a Wal-Mart to grab provisions for a few more days; it just made sense to stick around til the schools re-opened on Monday.
After Mass on Sunday, we went for a boat ride to Lake Seminole. More lovely scenery!
Caleb was proud to drive Daddy's boat.
We did see a few alligators but they went underwater before I captured the moment. Every. Time.
A swimming stop relatively safe from alligators.
Here is the top of the beach slope. Feels kinda drastic, huh?
Happy Father's Day! Much love to all the Fathers (and Frs.) in my life. Especially Dad and Nate. Between the two of you, my male support is rock solid. Also, you're awesome.
