HALLOWEEN NIGHT IN FLORIDA

A fish camp, out in the middle of nowhere, is where we spent Halloween evening.  A great dinner, music, dancing and fun with friends.

The fish camp/now called Cherry Pocket is a delectable place to eat.  We all had very tasty dishes and like always, Joe finished his and mine! 
           Decorations at Cherry Pocket were in 
                      "flavor" of the season. 
                              
Peg beloved her Dr. Scholl~she always complained that her feet were killing her. No one believed her.


Here lies an atheist, all dressed up with no place to go.

Sign on a post at Cherry Pocket.   Must  be  a  quite a few "senior citizens" eat here. 
Yup, we had our "Old Farts" pose with the bartender.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

CIRCLE B NATURE CENTER

Up early Saturday morning and off to the Circle B Ranch.  A Nature Fest ~ not sure what it was, but I wasn't going to miss it.  
On any regular day going to the Circle B we would park in the main lot along with 5 or 6 other cars.
Today we were shuttled to the Center/along with 3,000 other people!  Yes, 3,000!  Quite impressive as we usually only see a half dozen people on the trails.  
Tents were set up along the trails today with food, animals, crafts and information about other nature places to visit in Florida.  Just my kind of day! 
LADYBUGS
MOSQUITOES
AND COW KILLER WASPS, OH MY!

                  Turned out to be a great day!
I finally met Smokey the Bear!  Joe stood next to the snake skins and the moss hung from the trees. 

The best part of the day was the airboat ride!  Had to wear protective ear coverings/airboats are extremely loud!  The above picture was a snapshot when we stopped on our ride.  
               Picture below is  the boat we rode on.
