Point Vedra

Here I am eating pizza with my family and Aunt Mary after spending the day at the beach. 
After we  hade pizza we went to the pool  this is daddy throwing  Lukey  but he threw all of us. 

This is my Aunt Mary's dog he is wearing his Hot dog costume
This is his other costume he looks really funny I wish I could have a costume like that. 



Aunt Mary has a golf cart we got to ride on it. It was so fun I wish I could go on it again.

St Augustine with my Aunt Mary

On Nov.9th we went to one of the oldest forts in the USA called Castillo de San Marcos.  It was so cool. We got a booklet to fill out about all the history of how the Spanish came and survived in the area.  They built this fort to survive attacks from the British navy and from pirate ships.  What the Spanish built in the 1600's is still here today.  The fort was built from coquina, a really cool material made out of rocks, shells and plaster, that cannon balls couldn't wreck. The fort was attacked many times but was never taken down. 

Here's a picture of us with someone dressed as a Spanish soldier.   He must have been hot in those clothes.


Here's us getting our booklets.  We had lots of work to do in it and even had to write an essay. I'm glad I'm writing an essay here instead of at school.

Every day at 1:30 they do a cannon shooting ceremony.   They are really old but they still work as well.  It was very, very loud.  My favourite part was that they shot bread out of the cannon and all of the birds came flying to eat the bread.  


Here's us watching the cannon fire!



This is my daddy and me pretending to fire a cannon.


This is us after we completed our booklets and got our badgets and certificates.  Now I'm a junior ranger!



This is me standing in front of the oldest school in the USA.  The chain that you can see is attached to an anchor so that the school won't blow away in a hurricane.  Amazingly it works because it has been here for more than 300 years without going anywhere.


We stopped to drive on the beach just outside of St Augustine.  Mommy and daddy didn't want me to get wet so I was just getting my feet wet while I was playing.  I didn't see a giant wave coming but by mistake I got flipped over onto my head.


This is me after I got soaked....I even had shells in my hair.


This is us out for dinner with my Aunt Mary.  We are visiting her for a day and went out for pizza to Napoli Pizza.

sea world!


This is us on a plane to Florida.  I am so excited.  Our flight was 7 hours because we stopped in Washington.  I was sad that couldn't see the White House the day before the election.  The plane ride was fun but jiggly.

It was a long plane ride so I brought lots of stuff out of my bag.  First I did math and then I wrote stuff in my journal.  Then I watched Madagascar on my daddy's computer.  On the first flight Molly had the window seat....and I had it on the second flight.


We landed in Orlando and this is us in the little subway train in the airport.


The first amusement park we went to was Sea World.  This is us at the Shamu Show.  Shamu is an Orca and he is very, very cute.   He is so big.  He came swimming so fast at us and then splashed us.  He did lots of tricks.  It was very cool!  I wonder how they train the whales to do all of those tricks?


This is me in the front row by myself on the Journey to Atlantis.  I really enjoyed it and got soaked....just after this picture was taken.


This is me on the Kracken.  I thought it was really scarey.......
And this is us after the ride it was more fun then I thought!

.
....until I went on the Manta. This is a video of the Manta...not me, I haven't turned into a bald man. After the ride I won a Manta Ray doll and named him Randy.
