Fun in Florida

We finally got internet and phone set up at our new house in Florida. Since Devon has been so busy, we still haven't put up pictures on the walls yet. When he isn't on such a time-consuming rotation like PICU, then we'll work on decorating the inside. So that's why I haven't posted any new photos. The kids and I have been able to explore our new area, though. My sister came to visit and we went to the I-75 Flea Market in Ocala, Florida. We went on Friday so it wasn't as busy as it usually is on the weekends. I found a retro-style pattern for a nurse's uniform for $.50. So I want to make it for my halloween costume. Then we took a trip to Itchitucknee Springs located 20 minutes to the Northwest of us. We went tubing down the river three times. The kids had so much fun, and so did my sister and I! Then, last weekend we drove down to Orlando to attend the Orlando Temple. It is a beautiful temple! Another couple in our ward watched our kids at a local park while we went and then we switched so that they could go. Then, I went to see a friend from high school, I hadn't seen in 12 years! It was so great to visit. She and her husband were so much fun to hang out with, along with their four kids. I can't believe we didn't take a photo of us all, but we did have a great time. I will make sure to bring our camera for our next visit.
There is lots of shopping close by. There is this great store next to Target called Rack Room Shoes, and I found a pair of Clarks sandals on sale for $20! I was so excited about my find. I got another pair of strappy sandals for my brother's wedding in September. Can't wait to wear them!
I am busy putting together my kids school registration forms. I can't believe they start August 24th. Summer has gone by fast. We have spent most of our days sleeping in, hanging out at home and swimming. We are all enjoying the hot weather here in Gainesville, Florida. Well, until next time, Sonia XXOO
