Pokemon is alive and well.

Gregg and I went to Florida last week. Seamless trip down and back. non-stop flights are definitely the way to travel. The twins are super role players. I don't think we ever see the "real" twins. They take on the persona of whatever their latest interest is and go from there. In their short life time they have been squirrels, dogs,cardinals,cats,mice etc.etc. At the preset time they are Pokemons. They have videos, pokemon cards, stuffed Pokemons and access to the computer game of Pokemon. They map out strategies, they speak of evolving, they have all of the names down pat and Bridget can draw most of the figures. Whew!

We went to Myakka for the express purpose of taking an air boat trip through the lake to see all of the aligators. I've done that before and thought it was a facinating thing to do but they are having a serious drought in
FL and the water was too low to sail the air boats. There are usually canoe trips available also. I'm too chicken to sail in the alligator infested waters to go on a canoe trip but Angela and Keith have done it and I'm sure Gregg would have done it but once again the water level was too low. We did climb a beautiful, well made tower to see the "jungle" from above and that was a neat thing to do but neverthe less I was dissapointed that we did not get to get up close and personal with the alligators.

We went to Lido Beach after dinner and while I sat on the beach, Keith,Angela, twins and Gregg swam. It was a perfect evening. The water was warm, the air cool and the sunset was beautiful. The moonlight was pretty bright and very visible before the sun had fully set.

Keith was quite busy while we were there. He is enjoying his job as legislator and is appropriately involved in the business of legislating.

Back home, Doc is doing well at Klondike and Jane is making incremental gains every day. Sign off time. Ciao
