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??
