    Good day to go walking

    I love to take early morning walks, even in our neighborhood. All the animals are starting to stir around and you can still see some raccoons scurrying around. It's still peaceful at that time of day.

    Dreading the heat & high electric bills!

    Well it seems others have this same problem with high electric bills. We are in Florida and our address also determines which company you use, so we don't have much choice.

    Went canoeing yesterday!

    We went out in our kayak the other day. We go in our river near by and always have a fun time. There was another couple with us in their kayak. It was a really nice day for it.

    Dreading the heat & high electric bills!

    I'm glad that summer is here and we can go out and do more outdoor activities. The one thing that I don't like is having to turn on the AC and getting those high electric bills. :tinysmile_hmm_t2:

    Paddle boarding

    We were talking about this the other day. My brother in law and his wife live on a lake and they mentioned that hardly anyone 'skis' anymore, they mostly paddle board and use tubes.

    Huge sale on golite gear!

    Thanks for letting us know. We are always looking to pick up a few new things here and there and this sale sounds like a good. I've saved the link and will check it out more thoroughly later on today.

    Fishing Field Trips

    I'm with you back2nature, we also grew up in the country where a lot of kids already went fishing so I guess this is why we never did anything like this. I bet it would be a real thrill and a lot of fun for those that never get to do much of this kind of thing.

    Catching Spanish Mackerel

    Does anyone here like to fish for Spanish Mckerel? We don't exactly go out just to catch these but if we see them schooling we will try to pick up some to have for supper. The smaller ones are pretty good if you eat them that same night.

    Not warm enough yet

    We mostly saltwater fish here in Florida and the water is nice right now. It does get a little slower when the water temp is cooler but the fish are still there, you just need to find them and be patient. :)

    Be Aware Of Ocean Undertows

    We use to go to the beach a lot as kids and still do as adults and the undertow can be bad. The lifeguards will usually tell you if it is really bad but some just ignore it. And you are right about trying not to panic as that is usually what drowns a person.

    Thieves in Campgrounds?

    Have you ever had anyone steal something from your campsite while you were away from it? We have been lucky so far and haven't had this happen to us. I was talking with some friends the other day that went tent camping at this campground and they had some items actually taken from their tent and...

    Freezing fish

    We've never tried the Food Saver vacuum pack bags before. I wondered if they would work as good with fish. Maybe we will pick one of those up and give it a try that way.

    Southeast Camper Dutch Oven Gathering

    Wish I could have been there! I would love to have tried the Sausage & Chicken Gumbo and the Peach Cobbler. I hope you have your second one soon.

    Freezing fish

    I've never tried freezing fish that way before. We do a lot of fishing and are always freezing some for later on or to give to others. What we do is put the fillets in a freezer zip lock bag then fill with water and put in the freezer. We've never had trouble with freezer burn.

    Dogs and Children

    I think it is amazing how some dogs really take to children while others will try to avoid them. We have some friends that have small children and have two dogs. One is always with the kids and will follow them everywhere. The other just doesn't seem that interested in them. He's not mean or...

    Honey mustard chicken foil packet

    I was also going to suggest either flattening out the chicken breast or use the strips for faster cooking. If you like dark meat you could also use the boneless chicken thighs. It sould really good and I like adding the onions to it too!

    Ladywalk

    Sounds like more of a Hike then a walk. :) I like doing things like that too and have a good friend that is really into nature and knows a lot about the plants and animals around us. I always learn something new when I go 'walking' with her. :)

    Infant Survival Swimming

    I didn't see a link but will go and see if I can pull it up on YouTube. I did see something one time that might be similar with young kids and babies, teaching them to turn over and float if they fell into the water. Not sure if this is the same one or not but will check it out.

    Length of first ride

    Well if you have never been on a horse before there really isn't anyway to keep from getting sore. But as mentioned, if you go slow at it and get off and on the horse a few times, that should help. Oh and I sure wouldn't spend more then an hour or two the first time.

    Little Swimmer

    I think any age is good to get them use to water. But always have some sort of life jacket on them and please use common sense and keep them close. I go along with the statement made above!
