In response to Daddy’s request to “tell us more about vacation”

I built a really, really, really good sandcastle.  My grandma and grandpa and aunt Karen came over to my vacation today.  And Laura’s coming over tonight.  She’s gonna feed me supper.  Laura’s coming over to babysit me and mommy and daddy are going out to eat for supper.  I rode on the bumper boats and I played little putt putt too.  And I shooted a couple baskets.  We saw animals at the zoo yesterday when we were at the zoo.  We went to the rainforest and the regular zoo and we even had a picknic.  I played a little game of checkers with my mom.  Lily played with the black ones with my mom and I played with the red ones.  The butterflies are my favorite animals that I saw at the zoo.  We touched fur… monkey fur.  We got to put our hand in a little hole of a hand to see if our hand was the same size.  But it wasn’t… not even daddy’s hand was (she was referring to a mold of an orangutan hand).

** Sydney got some toy snakes… this is what they want to say to you :  ) **

“It’s really fun in the pool.  The pool is never cold.  The pool is always warm.  But you might get splashed.  In the pool, that is.  We got a big crab thing that you can ride on in the pool.  And we got a pink floatie.  And Lily used the old, yellow floatie.  But we don’t go to restaurants very often.  Mom and dad are going there two times.  ‘Cause we went one time all together.  And this time just mommy and daddy’s going to a restaurant.  And it’s super, super fun here… you should come here one time.”
