Nav-A-Gator

There is a restaurant in Lake Suzy, FL about 45 minutes to an hour north of Fort Myers that we have gone to a few times when we are here visiting. We usually meet Chuck (a friend of my Mom's) since he lives up this way and also a great place for Chance when the weather is good. Nav-A-Gator is right on the water, with a stage and a ping pong table and plenty of room to run around. Chance always wants to play ping pong and this time there was a little girl eating with he family who was about Chance's age. They had a good time playing tag, and hide and seek and of course ping pong.

After we finished dinner we went downtown punta gorda where every Thursday they have folk music jams on the river. It's a nice place to just walk around listening to the different styles of music that are being played in each little jam circle. I like exposing Chance to so many different types of music especially in a live setting. I used to travel to folk music festivals all around the state playing music and just being a part of that atmosphere so I really enjoy sharing that with Chance and one day I hope to take him to some of those same music festivals. This is perfect for now. This is the first time Chance was really interested in a particular instrument. In every circle he picked out the violin, asking me to move so we could get a good view of the violin each time and at the end I asked if he had a favorite instrument and he immediately said "yes, the violin."
