We're finally here!!!

Ok so now that I have a little time I can tell everyone what the heck we've been doing! We have been here for exactly for 1 week so far and oh my goodness it's hot! I am talking you are sweating at 8 in the morning hot and you sure ain't goin outside, unless to swim, between 3-6 pm! But we are enjoying it so much!!! The lovely town of Mount Dora Florida is like a small, beachside town. Something I would compare to La Conner in WA but much bigger and very active. The whole town revolves around having fun and bringing your dog everywhere you go. Seriously all the bars, restaurants, shopping stores and parks want you to bring your dog. Every Friday the bars have "Yappy Hour" so everyones dogs can get together and hang while their owners drink themselves silly:)It really is genious if you ask me;)Jeff has purchased his first surf board and is a natural, of course! I haven't mustered up the guts to try yet because I have been nursing a pretty bad sunburn and the ocean pulls me every which way even when I am ankle deep. It's ok, you can judge me, I am a total wussy! For now at least! Poor Jeff got "cankles" his ankles got so sunburned the first day at the beach! We went and bought the strongest suntan lotion and used it all within the next 2 trips to the beach. I thought I knew hot sun and apparently I didn't! This sun here on the eastcoast is so different. One day last week we went to a natural cold spring that has crystal clear water in the middle of a forrest and snorkeled. We were able to see where the water "bubbles" out of the earth, so amazing! Then we went on a nature walk, harmless right? WRONG! At first I was like oh cute, look at the lizards. Then I was dodging huge birds that I cannot even begin to describe and finally I saw a horsefly almost take out Jeff that was so large it looked like a golfball with wings! So we were on our way out when we saw a beetle cookin in the sun and it was about the size of 3 quarters laying down. It had 3 sections people!!! Not 1, or 2, but 3!!!! Crazy! Oh yeah we met a guy that looks like Chuck Norris and asked him if we could take a picture with him. He was super nice! Thanks Chuck!!! PS....we may have seen some gators too since we've been here. The slideshow shows some but I promise to take better pics!!!:) We love you all and miss you so much!
