The sun keeps shining!

I have been struggling with my blogger app on my phone and today I finally manage to post the Thursday post (wet n wild). I did change the date for the post after it was posted so it still looks like it was done Thursday :-) However, that post being so late and difficult to get online made the rest of the posts late so here comes a quick review of the past three days.

Friday

Great chili and sunny day. We spent the day at the playground and in the evening me and Alex went out for a dinner without any children, not even Gabriel!!! Cousin Owen and his girlfriend Hollie joined us. Mormor and morfar took the boys and farmor and farfar came over for dinner and helped out. They came up to Ormond on Tuesday.

A drink and Gator bites (alligator) for appetizer

 Saturday

Great day at Silver Springs national park. Pappa stayed home to work :-( since he took Thursday off.

Marlee got the chance to pet a Corn snake (same kind of snake that he had on his bike a few weeks ago)

Pic nic with Swedish pancake and Swedish Lingonsylt :-)

I am trying to convince Alex that we should build rocking chair like this (please encourage him if you talk to him!!!)

Marvelous Marlee!!!

Mormor trying to take a picture of us all (which might seem like an easy task but is surprisingly difficult!)

We are not trying to hide his precious little face, we are trying to make the bang long enough to go behind the ears, on our Rock star!

We went on a glass bottom boat ride. It was fun!

One of the springs. It is unknown how deep it is but the deepest anyone have been in it is 81 feet

A very old boat on the bottom. Possibly from the Spanish settlers..

big fallen log

Probably one of the most romantic places to celebrate Valentines day

Morfar made a fire when we got home and farmor and farfar came over. We discovered that old palm leaves work great! :-)

Today (Sunday)

The sun keeps shining and we enjoyed coffee outside after going to church. Later we went to the park with Curren and his mum and little brother Toca. Toca took his first three steps at the park!!!!

Last night farmor and farfar brought us a new (and better) TV and took the one we had to use in their house. Both me and Alex were kind of reluctant, thought the one we had was perfectly fine (just like old stubborn folks). I hardly use our TV and do not really care about what kind or how big TV we have. Or that is what I thought until I tried the new TV and its functions. IT IS SO GOOD!! It has all the things we need and that we normally use when watching something (Netflix and YouTube) except for Swedish TV, and we do not even need to use a laptop. It is so convenient and I really don't want to go back now (just like old stubborn folks, except they would not admit it ;-)!
