Mythical 0 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thank you to all of you who contributed to my "what to do" thread. It helped, although in the end, they needed very little to make them all have fun, as these pictures will show. TCD, please do refrain from making any innuendo's about the name of this report! ;-)We went with our two daughters, two good friends and their two daughters. It is pretty obvious whose DD's belong to which family, my girls are dark and my buddy's family are light!We live in the Stuart area of Florida and on the way up to Orlando, wee stopped and picked up Grandma for the weekend.We arrived at 3pm on Friday and with a short trip planned, we sort of called it our "scouting mission" we proceeded to setup camp at site ...409. Nice loop! We were all excited as we drove into the campground, it really is so nice.My eldest daughter (9 years old and really, really tall) got right to work in the woods...these are not mall kids, they have grown up playing outside, riding horses, catching fish, frogs, jellyfish (yes I said Jellyfish, another story for another time) and lizards!Some of the other girls, got started riding any wheels we could get out of the truck for them fast enough! My little one (age 7) and her friend (age 8 got going as quick as they could!This little 4 year old, our friends little girl was having so much fun on her new bike!Before long the lizards were piling up! Here is the first one! I think every little girl ought to grow up getting dirty and being outdoors!Good job kid!!We could have stayed at the campsite all night, they were having so much time, but with little time and the sites setup, we decided it was time to go do this thing people call "looping".So we loaded up the golf carts and off we went! You can see our 'new to us' 28' travel trailer to the right of the kids. Needless to say a golf cart and little kids is always an exciting time for all! :)I will post the rest later on gang, we will be exploring the TCD ranch, had to go see Crockett's after the TCD investigation of that place and of course, the swimming pools!

Gots2pitt.. Jeff 64 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I see smiles.. looks like the start of a good time. BTW is this a FF record? Mythical on just the 11th post is starting a TR and as others have said is off to a great start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 There will be no jokes from TCD.At least not if the rest of this trip report lives up to the first post.Outstanding work!The photos are very good!I'm glad to see that your DD's can catch lizards. It always amuses us to see the kids from "up north" who camp at the Fort freak out when they see a lizard. We were camped next to such a kid once, and all that poor boy did the whole time was try to catch a lizard. He never got one. I thought about sending one of my DD's over there to catch one for him, but that probably would have made him feel worse.I'm looking forward to the rest of you report!TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Off to a great start and excellent title!We were lucky to have tons of woods in our backyard as kids and spent most of our time in trees, building forts (hmm... an omen perhaps?) and catching critters - mostly frogs, but also grasshoppers, fireflies and the occasional snake.Any time we whined that we were bored my mother would say "GO OUTSIDE" ...and that's what we did!Looking forward to the rest of your TR. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We live on 3 acres and still have a hard time getting the kids outside. But at the fort they will play in the woods and dirt for hours. Ahh the magic of camping!
