Florida Vacation with lots of Volleyball - 2022

Sally and I traveled to Florida for a huge volleyball tournament in Orlando.  Haley(#4) sets for Texas United - 13s and Grace(#4) hits for Texas United - 15s.  

 My niece Courtney and her spouse, Jackie brought their two month old precious Austen for a visit. Sally got her chance to hold a baby again and I got a chance to sing "Home on the Range" to a newest family member

 

 On Monday, while Sally was at volleyball, I went to DeLand to visit Tim and Linda. Tim and I drove to Blue Spring and on the way I added to my life list of snakes when I helped a Yellow Rat Snake cross the road.

 Cora rode all the way home with Granny and Poppy. She loved the Gilchrist Blue Spring and got to practice her photo skills.
