Boxing Day

We had a quiet morning. Tom was the first person up and spent some time out by the pool practicing his guitar.

 Judy and I spent lots of time in the pool getting our exercise and trying to rid ourselves of some of yesterday's calorie intake.  John and Tom blew up the kayaks and took them down to the canal that runs behind our house. 

They headed out on the canal system to do some exploring.

This canal system runs for miles through this area.  The boys paddled for quite a way until they reached a fork in the canal.  They decided that was a good place to turn back for today.  If you paddled long enough you could get out to the Gulf or lost whichever came first.

After lunch we headed into Walmart to pick up more groceries and supplies.  In the great USA they do not have Boxing Day so we didn't see the tons of shoppers you would normally see in the malls in Canada on Dec 26th.  

We spent the afternoon playing a version of Trivial Pursuit that I have never seen before.  We were pretty pathetic at the game but it was good for lots of laughs.

We had a bit of rain later this afternoon which made the pool even warmer.  I think a swim this evening may be in the cards.  Until next time - safe travels.
