More Florida adventure

This whole trip to Florida came about because Don wanted to take ultra light flying lessons and you can't do that in Utah. He also wanted to buy a hyper light airplane. Here it is! It is seriously light which I find seriously scary but Don is seriously excited. These planes evolved from hang gliders. They have an engine and you steer them but they only seat one person. Don is out taking flying lessons today!

Checking out the new toy. Now we just have to figure out how to get it home. Fly it you say? Easier said then done. Since it's a hyper light plane it only flies 150 miles on a tank of gas. That does not exactly make for easy cross country flying. We will have to put it in a trailer and drive it (or have someone else drive it) across the country.

There is a serious gecko population here. You open your door and the lizards run in. They are called house lizards for obvious reasons. They will hang out on your face indefinitely. They are funny little critters. They eat bugs.

Sean named the first gecko "Treasure" as in he treasured it. The second gecko didn't get  a name.

We picked a couple of oranges. Florida is freaking out because the cold is endangering the fruit. The oranges on the trees are juice oranges and are not pretty like the oranges you buy at the store.

The condo we are staying at is on a beach. We keep trying to play but it has been too cold. We go out for awhile, play come home then try again.
