Autumn in Central Minnesota

Thought I would post five photos of landscape scenes taken in Central Minnesota near Saint Cloud.

Doing Things with Amelie

While visiting with Ben and Janelle, we did a number of things with Amelie.

Grandma, Amelie, and Mom go down a slide together.

Amelie has a wading pool that she likes to play in.

Amelie looks to see who did the splashing.

A Sunday Walk in Jacksonville, Florida

We arrived in Jacksonville, Florida, late Saturday afternoon.  The next day, Ben took us for a walk around the neighborhood.

Two Canadian geese were resting in a small pond near Ben and Janelle's home.

Amelie's uncle, Uncle Trevor, controls the radar in airplanes like this.

One of our days in Jacksonville had us spending some time in a park with lots of swings.

Look at all the boats.

Ben and Janelle brought us on a tour of Amelia Island.

Fort Clinch

A lot of walking inside Fort Clinch.  Amelie take a rest.

The road leading from Fort Clinch

We spent a week near Tampa, Florida, at Elaine and Mark's home.  They have a screened in swimming pool that we used.  Ben, Janelle, and Amelie drove there to pick us up and bring us back to Jacksonville.

Here is a view of the back yard, a screened-in swimming pool!

Amelie waves, "Hi folks."

Amelie waves to her mom at the other end of the pool.

Amelie get a kick out of Grandma blowing water out of a swimming noodle.

Jumping into the swimming pool for Grandma

and making a big splash

It was April 2nd, yet the ocean was warm enough to play in.

Amelie walks along the ocean beach.
