we just got back from a week at the beach, and i was a rock star. despite nearly 1 15 hour travel day yesterday, i am still in good spirits. i was soooo good on all of the plane and car rides! i even earned myself a set of wings. i talked to pilots and i now am obsessed with airplanes. mama might have to add some airplanes to my monkey wall. i was scared of the ocean at first, but as the week went on, i learned to love it. the surf was pretty rough, so i could not go near it alone, and one time, i was brave and tried to boogie board in the low surf zone and got washed off the board. mama freaked out and said i could not go near the water without my lifejacket again. i played with all of my new friends soooo well. you would think with 9 kids under the age of 6 there would have been some fights, but we all got along really well. i made some great friends. jacob and i really hung out a lot and aidan too, i think those dudes are just about awesome. and of course, all the other kids were super cool and fun too. mama thinks the best part was when our good buddy brian showed up as a surprise from germany, that was pretty special. now, time to start planning for the next one, 3 years from now when me and all of my buds will be a lot older and more adverterous. i got a super cool hat from brian from egypt and an awesome life is good shirt from ad. adelaide beat me up a bunch, she is tough and smart and really cute. all of the kids were so fun and so cute and all the adults, well they are adults, but mama thinks it is just awesome that we all got to spend a whole week together. if it had only been a little cooler and less windy (100 degrees with 100 percent humidity and 30mph winds). love to all
