We finally got to Florida on Friday.  It was a long trip.  I thought that as soon as we got out of Minnesota it would be warm and no snow.   Not True!!!

Pop had to drive and drive and drive.  It seemed as if everytime we drove into another state there was still snow.  Maybe not as much, but still snow.  Now I know for sure that I don’t want to see any more snow until next Christmas.

Finally we didn’t see any more snow but it was still cold.  Mum told me to bring my jacket along and I’m glad I did.  I was starting to wonder how much farther we had to go before I would be warm again.

Now we’re in Florida and it’s finally warming up – not a lot though. Yesterday it was raining in the morning so we all went shopping.  What for you say?  Books and purses, books and purses, books and purses.  For me it was kinda boring because I wanted to do something more fun.

Finally in the afternoon the sun came out so me, Sarah, Erik, Carmen and Mum went for a long walk down to the park.  Sarah and I got to slide down the slides but Mum forgot to take the camera along so we didn’t get any pictures of that.  It was really fun though and we were up so high.  This one slide had curves in it so when I would slide down it would turn me over on the way down.  Mum or Erik was always there to catch me though at the bottom.  Except for one time and I landed in the sand.  It didn’t hurt much though.

As you can see Sara and me became instant friends.  She didn’t forget me and we’re going to spend lots of time together on this vacation.  I wish Mum would have let Grace come along.  Sara would have liked Grace.

I also made a new friend.  His name is Garrett.  Garrett is sorta like my brother because  he also has a beard.  Not as big as mine but he’s working on it.  I like that name Garrett.  I’m going to see if Mum will let me give that name to one of the new gnomes that we adopted.

Today is finally the day we get to go to the beach.  I’m so ready.  This time I’ll make sure we have the camera along and I’ll have Mum take pictures of me in the sand.  I gotta go and put on my shorts and sandals.
