Wednesday, January 14 – Aloe King

Today we were up at 6:30 to get ready to leave at 8:30. We went on a tour of an Aloe Farm. It was all quite interesting and a fun day.

It started at the entertaining area where we were explained the back ground of the family and company.

Then we were loaded on to a tractor for a tour of the farm.

We learned how to harvest the aloe plant and many of it uses. You cut the outer leaves and then you fillet it to get a “Aloe fillet”.

They also grow oranges and we were able to pick one off the tree and eat it. Jesse wanted a specific orange that he wanted me to pick.

After this we went to the gift shop and were then served lunch in the entertainment room.

It was a full morning and great fun being with our friends.

After we got back to the park, we went to welcome our friends Gordon and Juanita “home” with their new RV.

I see they got a Carri-lite. I could not tell what model it was. I hope they have some pictures on their journal tonight.
