Airboat Ride and Outta Control Magic Show

After a slightly more leisurely start this morning we headed off to breakfast at the Ponderosa again and filled up with all you can eat Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, chicken nuggets!, muffins, cakes, jello, and more.

We then headed off to find where we were to meet Captain Harold and the airboats.  We pulled up into a little park area with a boat ramp and as we got out of the car one of the boats arrived on a trailer (Captain Jim).  We watched him launch the boat and the Mum, Dad, Stewart and Chloe got on with another couple and pulled a little way down the canal to let Captain Harold pull up who was returning with some other passengers.

After a quick safety talk we were off speeding down the canal and into the swampy areas of Lake Tohopekalia.  We skimmed over the lily pads and reeds and saw loads of wildlife including lots of Alligators (Mum's boat saw quite a big one swimming round their boat, grasshoppers, a turtle, and a really majestic bald eagle sitting in a nearby tree.  Mum's boat were watching him when he flew away.  Amazing site and feel quite lucky to have seen it. 

We stopped off at Walmart and a Target to do a bit of shopping and then went to Congo River golf.  It got quite hot while we were playing golf.  We split up and played different 18 hold courses.

We had a dinner show booked at Outta Control Magic Show at the Upsidedown house on International Drive.  We had unlimited salad and popcorn and pizza (it just kept coming!) plus unlimited beer, wine and soda.  The show was fantastic.  We really did laugh out loud, Dad was nearly falling off his chair laughing and ended up leaning on Sarah to support himself.  It was hilarious, we laughed soo much we ached.  It was more of a comedy show with a bit of magic thrown in with some audience participation.

A really enjoyable day!
