Surprises Still Coming

What an awesome day today.  We enjoyed a sermon by Rev. McLeod.  The guys gave us the impression we were going on a hike.  When we got to our destination, they took a picture of Grace and Ralph and Lawrence and I with John showing us a sign we were going on a swamp tour.  We were so surprised and very pleased.  It was a lot of fun.  We saw alligators. water moccasin snames and lots of birds.  The most amazing thing we saw were some Wood Storks.  Apparently these are very rare to see and we had a couple with a baby.  Our tour guide Blake (from Spirit of the Swamp Tours) was just as excited about seeing these birds as we were.  He wants our pictures to publish on Facebook.  Unfortunately towards the end we started to have a ticking sound with our boat.  Turns out it needed engine work.  A problem with the lifters.  Afterwards we headed back home and got supper ready.  Ralph had to do some work, so we enjoyed some relaxing time at home.  We are all looking forward to a fun game of golf tomorrow at Royal St. Cloud.  Breakfast and lunches are ready to go.  Now all we need is a good nights sleep :)
