Right after our Christmas in Texas, we took off for another Christmas in Florida. Joni's kids were spending Christmas at their dad's house in Boca and we decided to leave Texas a week early so that we could also see them.
We had a great time... beaching, kayaking, playing tennis and just being together.

One day was spent at our RV park, Ocean Resorts. Joni borrowed a few kayaks from friends and we spent a few hours out on the intercoastal. There are many dolphin and manatee out in the intercoastal waters and usually many are spotted. We looked hard, but were disappointed that we did not spot any. I guess everyone will have to just come back and try in again.
We also spent some time on the tennis courts for a family round robin. We rotated in and out after each game and played for about an hour. It was a lot of fun. Jim and Barbara did not bring any tennis shoes with them so they played barefoot. Our court surface is artifical turf with a layer of sand over it, tons of sand.
It's a great surface and easy on the joints (for old people!!!!) See Delton playing on the sandy court (picture taken on another day). Unfortunately we forgot the camera and don't have any pictures to show.
Another day was spent at the Fort Lauderdale beach. Joni has been to that beach many many times, as her parents have lived in Coral Springs (about 35 minutes from Ft. Lauderdale) since about 1982 and her grandparents retired there when she was a little girl.
It was very crowded, but good for people watching. As you can see, there was hardly a spot to put your blanket down.
See the "Where's Ken???" picture? Remember - Where's Waldo? Well, Ken is hidden in this picture. Can you find him?
The boys and Barbara were all staying at Joni's ex-husband's, (Ron), house in Boca Raton. 
There's no room in a motorhome for overnight guests! (See us all sitting in the den. Delton and Ron were sitting off to the side and didn't get into the group picture). Ron was kind enough to invite us to his house for diner one night. 
We had a very nice time. Ron and his girlfriend, Lynn, cooked a gourmet meal for all of us. Lynn's son was also there.
