Memories of Memorial Day

Well, finally I took my very FIRST trip to the beach. And boy, was it fun! Daddy's friend, Mark, and his wife, Lori, invited us all to their beach house in Galveston for Memorial Day weekend. I'd never been on a long car ride before, so I was a little nervous, but Mommy and Daddy were smart. They bought me a DVD player so I could watch all my favorites — Little Einsteins, Elmo and Princess Stories — right there in the car! It was a 6-hour drive, but it was all a blur because I was having so much fun. I didn't even sleep once!

The very first thing we did was go for a boat ride. I put on a lifejacket and off we went. It was terrrrrrific! We went really slow at first, looking at all the houses on the canal — and there are some big ones! Then, we went "Allegro", as the Little Einsteins would say. Daddy helped me pat my knees just like the Little Einsteins do when they want to go really fast. Then we raised our arms above our heads and yelled "Blastoff!" And Mark made the boat take off like a rocket. We went super-fast across the ocean in the bay area and I loved every minute of it.

Then, the next day, it was off to the beach. Yippee! I put on my bikini, got all lathered up in sunscreen and hit the waves. I had so much fun, I didn't know what to do. I kept running into the waves and back out. In and out. In and out. I just couldn't stop! Lori had bought me a pale, so I played in the sand, collected shells and just sat and let the waves wash up over me. I think it was the best time I've had in my whole life.








While I was off having all that fun, Mark, Lori and Annie (the dog), were just chilling, watching the ocean. Mommy thought this was such a cool site, she just HAD to get a picture. Thank you Mark and Lori for a wonderful Memorial Day. I hope I get to come back soon!
