A Little Of This & That

Not a lot happened during the month of February so only this one post for the month.  We attended a Super Bowl party at Miller’s Ale House (Millers) just for something fun and different to do.  As you can see by the tickets, it was an all-you-can-eat buffet with carving station, snow crab legs, hoagies, wings, pastas, salads, dessert bar, and more!  We didn’t know anyone who was attending but were lucky enough to join Ralphie and his friends who had a couple open seats at their table for a fun evening.  Sorry, I didn’t take the camera so no pics.

 

We’ve been working on those “to do” lists that seem to get pushed to the back burner, and one of those items that we couldn’t do

ourselves was the repair/replacement of the RV windshield.  Somewhere out west it got hit by a couple of small rocks, and one of the chips had developed into a nice crack.  Russ called our insurance company and mentioned that there were chips on both sides, and we were referred to a window replacement company.  Without seeing it, they decided that only the passenger side with the crack would need to be replaced while the chips in the other could just be repaired.  Well, once the

guys arrived, they determined that the driver’s side would also have to be replaced because of the location of the chips.  Since these windows need to be ordered, they’d have to return in a couple of weeks to finish the job but at least we got one side done that day.  And according to state law, FL residents do not pay for windshield damage no matter where it happened!  (Of course, they generally get some of that back come insurance renewal time. J)
  

The only trip to Disney this month was Animal Kingdom.  You can tell we really enjoy checking out the animals!  After riding on Kilimanjaro Safaris, we wandered next door to the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail, a walk through exhibit inhabited by African wildlife including gorillas, hippos, fish, and exotic birds.  It was a warm day so many of the critters were napping or hidden, but the trail is still a nice walk.

 

 

 

 

 

      We planned to catch a performance of Finding Nemo - The Muscial, and along the way stopped for a few minutes to watch the Tam Tam Drummers of Harambe.  These guys do a fantastic job adding to the feel of this area of Animal Kingdom by performing authentic African drumming while engaging the audience in their lively and energetic performance. Always fun to watch!

 

And just in case you think we don’t have any wildlife here at the campground, think again.  Not only do we have raccoons and lots of little lizards, we frequently have visits from a couple of sandhill cranes, and as you can see, this time they got very close! 
   Plus this  red-shouldered hawk has been hanging around a lot lately, too.  Nothing like being in Yellowstone, of course, but fun to see just the same.
