What I am up to in Florida?

We went to a baseball game inside a building. I didn't know you could play baseball inside.  I asked Daddy how they got the grass in there.  He said it was fake grass.  Kind of like carpet.  The baseball game was boring.  I just wanted to see the fishtank with the fish rays in the them.  But it was closed!  I was mad.

We didn't get to see the rays but we did dance outside.

But I did get to see some rays another day.  They were swimming up by the beach.  You can see his fin sticking up in the water.  They were really close.  We could almost reach and touch them.

We all went out to dinner.  We didn't eat at a table, we sat at big picnic table.  It was too big for Luci and Cammie so they had to sit in high chairs.  But I didn't have to.  I ate some popcorn shrimp.  And Daddy and me shared an orange cake with cheese.  It was pretty yummy.

We go out for walks on the beach at night.  It is cool to be on the beach at night.  Daddy and Chris took me out looking for crabs in the sand.  We were shining the flashlight in the sand but we didn't see any.  We found a bunch of holes they made but they were hiding from us and we didn't see them.  We are going to try again tomorrow.

Riley Swims in the Pool

I can swim all by myself now.  I don't like to wear swimmies anymore because they are for babies. Once I get in the pool I just want to swim all over the place.  I can swim all the way across the pool.

Let's Go To The Beach, Beach

 I am in Florida!  We are staying in the same house by the beach as last summer.  It rained like 3 times or something like that.  But we got to play outside a lot before it was raining.  I barely came inside yesterday.  I built sand castles and playing in the water.  And Poppy let me and Mommy ride on his little boat (kayak).  

The water is not cold so it is good.  We found a big hole that somebody dug up in the sand.  I was afraid there were crabs in there but Daddy got in first and said it was okay.  

Riley Watches E.T.

Oh my gosh.  I watched this movie on TV.  It is called ET.  It is about an alien.  I never seen it before and I had so many questions. I kept talking about and it talking about it.  Here are some of the things I said to Mommy and Daddy:

"I think this is going to give me bad dreams.  But I still want to watch it.  You just have to watch it with me."
"Daddy, I don't know about this movie."
"Why are the police there?  Are they going to arrest ET?"
After Daddy tried to explain ET phoning home, I asked "Did the aliens get the emails?"
"Why is his heart like that?  Did they cut him open?" (when ET's heart glows)
"I want you to go to all of the libraries and get books about it.  I want to learn about ET like the scientists....then when I learn all about it I can tell my school."

I was so worried about the movie.  When it was time to go bed I just kept talking about it.  I was a little scared that there is an alien in my house.  Mommy and Daddy said there was none.  I don't know.
