Relaxing day

After walking so much at Silver Springs and being so hot, we decided that Sunday would be a "hang out around the house" day. So while Cesar was still taking his nap, Rosa wanted to watch her favorite show: the Teletubbies. She calls them "bye bye" and she is always fascinated when she watches that show. Here's the proof!




Trip to Silver Springs

This past weekend, we decided to change things a little and not go to the beach but go to Silver Springs instead. You've all seen it before, yes, yes... even if you've never been to Florida... Remember Johnny Weissmuller playing the role of Tarzan in the original movies back in the 30's?? Remember him jumping from one tree to the other? And swimming among the alligators? Yes? Well, the first few movies were all filmed at Silver Springs. It's now a zoological park, botanical park, petting zoo, playground... a cool place to hang out. We were there most of the day and didn't get to see everything. Fortunately we got annual passes so we'll be able to go back more often (it's only 45 minutes away after all) and the kids had so much fun!!


On the way there, Cesar decided to sing to us all the songs he learned in school.

Here is "Twinkle, twinkle Little Star"




We made it!



Do I look cool or what??

"This is fun! I hope we come back soon!!"

Rosa's favorite thing to do these days..

Nope, it's not what you think at all. Just check it out! Every day, we find Rosa by the cat's food bowl. First she "cleans up" by putting all the food that has fallen out of the bowl back into it (yes, we do have a very messy eater of a cat!). And then this innocent play turns into something else...


First I grab a handful...... and in the mouth it goes...
... don't I look completely innocent??

And another trip at the beach...

Yes, yes, you probably don't want to see the same pictures over and over. We do go to the same beach each time but I just love to see the change in the kids over a few weeks. It's just so incredible how fast they grow! Enjoy...

Pizza anyone??

A visit to the Horse Farm

Our neighbors Chris and Trish took us to see the horses at Chris' boss horse farm. We all had an awesome time. The horses are amazing! Here are a few pictures that you can enjoy. I do have to point out that the first five were taken by Trish's brother who is a professional photographer. Just beautiful...
