We Love You Great Granny

Although I am a bit young to understand everything going on. I do know I will miss my Great Granny. She always would snuggle and sing to me. She spoke softly unless I was wrestling or being too loud. She giggled and took interest when I showed her things I found in the yard or painted pictures.

I will miss visiting Ohio as well.

This year our Lego team is called the “Lego Rat Snakes”. We are quite the crazy group of kids. I am officially on the team this year. I don’t like to get into the mix but parallel build rather well now.

We do fun building challenges. I am really good at those. This week we build DUCKS.

I loved the cookies on a stick and having the servers bring me chocolate chip cookies every night for desert since I didn’t like the other options.

We also got a lot of gifts in the Fish Extender exchange through the DIS boards.

Learning About Oceans

We have been studying the ocean and decided to take a trip to Cocoa Beach, at least that is what us kids thought. We brought our cameras and took lots of silly pictures.

We spent a few hours at the beach jumping the HUGE waves. We built sand castles and watched the waves try to take away all of our shoes!

We had to do laundry afterwards so we didn’t have to take home wet suits. The detergent dispenser broke after we had all the machines loaded so we had to sit and wait for housekeeping to bring some up.
