Florida Trip

Over Memorial Day weekend we drove down to The Villages, Florida to visit Sally's grandma. We were certainly busy while we were there. We spent time at the pool the first day - of course, Sally burned her back really bad (even with sunscreen), so we found other things to do. Chris played a round of golf one morning so Grandma, Matthew and I went to the village square to look around the shops. While we were there, Matthew emptied Grandma's

wallet of coins to throw into the fountain. He also loved looking for the little lizards that are so common down there. When he found one, he would squat down to watch it and if it tried to get away, he chased it!

We also went to the Silver Springs village square to take a boat ride, shop, and eat. While they say there are 2 or 3 alligators in the lake, we didn't see any during our ride. Matthew loved the boat and still talks about going on it!

At night, both of the village squares have music and dancing. The last night we were there, Matthew was out dancing by himself and a little girl came up to him to dance. He turned tail and ran back to us so quick we were all laughing. The little girl looked so sad. But even more hysterical was the fact that he went back out again to dance, and she tried it again - much to Matthew's dismay! Then when she gave up, he went looking for her... Oh, this will be an interesting story to tell when he gets older!!!
