On the Beach

Today was very pretty on the beach. Sunny.

My nana and papa Shepherd are visiting his sister and will come visit us soon.

Today I played on the beach, Jefferson got a bee sting and learned how to bump a volleyball.

My cousin Emilie dislocated her elbow. She lives in Oregon. I wish I could see her.

I went swimming in the pool and jacuzzi.

Then Emma and I started the laundry and then we looked at books in the library here. I like fat books. I got James Michener's Alaska book. It's huge.

I can't wait to go to Disneyland. Hopefully, we'll go Friday.

That's all for now. I miss my friends, Jemima, Madelein, Abby, Zion, Galilee, Nicky and Bailey and Grace and Mattie.

Pickle

I love to play pickle with my family. How you play is, there are two 'throwers.' One on one side of the field and the other opposite them. Everyone else is a 'runner.' You have two plates one on each side where the throwers stand and that is where the runners run to. The throwers throw a ball back and forth and the runners run across the field trying to get to the other plate. The way to tag a runner is to touch them with the ball. Once you do that, the runner and the thrower switch places. The game just keeps going on until you want to stop! The runners are pickles in a jar trying to get out! Try it, it's fun!

Here in CA

Today it was so cold that we didn't go down to the beach. But yesterday it was pretty warm. Yesterday we had contest out on the beach. In the contest the contestants were Alex and Kelsie were on a team, Keegan Jeff and I were on a team, Hannah Carris and Emma were on a team, and Dexter was the Judge. Hannah Carris and Emma won though. The Doans left this morning. I can't believe they left! I'm really going to miss them. Right now who I miss most are my friends Jemima, Abby, Madeleine, and Nicky. I can't believe I won't see them for a whole month! Well thats all I have to tell you so bye!
