Hot and Stormy....

Okay, today is a clone of the last few days: hot, sunny, and then late afternoon/evening thunderstorms. We walked more of the nature trails. We walked around a small lake called Deer Lake (but we didn't see any deer).


The trail wound partly in some wetlands (cypress, tannic water) and partly in an area just covered with something that reminded us of kudzu, but signs indicated that it's actually air potato. It's an invasive plant, and boy does it invade with a vengeance! It grows up to eight inches in a single day, climbing up to seventy feet up trees.



We went back to the swimming pool at 4:00 p.m. It was sunny, and a game of social water volleyball had just started. Ten minutes later, everyone was out of the pool, chased by a high winds and an oncoming thunderstorm. Twenty minutes later, the storm had blown over.



Tonight we watched Puss in Boots. It had some sparkling wit, but not much substance. I would happily watch Shrek again but probably not Puss.
