Christmas Day

On Christmas Day, we started by heading to the pool for water exercises. The lady who leads them had said that she planned to be there on Christmas morning, but, we guessed she changed her mind. It was a bit chilly (47F), and steam was coming off the heated pool and hot tubs. There were two other ladies who also came for pool exercises, so we just went through as much of the routine that is normally done as we could remember. (We purposely did *not* remember to do some of the parts of the exercise that we don't like, like "climbing the ladder".)

Carl's son, Scott, had scheduled a family Google Meetup (like Zoom) meeting for the morning, so we got onto that when we got back to the rig...

Carl was testing out his connection and found that there were "disguises" that he could put on... Santa...

... cat on the head...

... and pirate!

It was good to get together with family using technology, and toward the end of the time, Carl put on his "Santa" disguise and the grands all got the giggles from that! Then they had to try out the different options -- it was quite funny!

We got to chat with Jimmy and Regina in the afternoon -- always good to get to talk with family!

In the evening, we had a park "Christmas dinner". The way they do it is to have table hosts, who pick up and warm the ham for their table. There are 18-20 people per table, and each person brings a dish to share. We each also paid $4 which, I think, helped defray the cost of the hams.

There were 12 tables -- it was nice because we got to meet other folks in the park.

We enjoyed getting together with "neighbors" - getting to meet some more folks from the park! Our host and hostess were a couple that we had met line dancing a few weeks ago. This is their first year to visit the park and they are renting - they are so nice and we've enjoyed getting to know them better.

We hope all of you enjoyed your Christmas day!
