Georgia - Florida Trip part 3

On Sunday we got together with my son Jeff and his family. I got to see all but one of my Florida grandchildren and great grandchild at a cookout and then on Monday I got to see my other grandchild and took her, Jeff and JR to eat. It was good seeing everyone and I continue to marvel at how much everyone is growing. Here are a few pictures from the get together.

The star of the show - Jeff made my father in law's Border Beans!

On Monday JR and I went on a kayaking tour on the Banana River. We had a very knowledgeable guide who gave a very interesting overview of the nature and history of the area. While we didn't see any manatee we did see a lot of interesting birds as well as an otter and a small pod of dolphin. I couldn't get any pictures of the dolphin no matter how much I tried, too difficult to time their movement with my camera. 

It was fun and a good way to see a different side of the Gulf Coast area. Plus, I got to bag another river. 

Here are some pictures from the time we spent on the river.

I'll probably wrap up this trip in one more post. We decided to spend an extra day before we went back to Athens and my next post will cover that day. Good trip so far made special by seeing family and sharing the trip with a good friend.
