I found a lizard a while ago. I named him Stripes. My Dad built him a cage. It has a flat bottom with a screen over top. Later I found a lizard in our garage and put him in with Stripes. He doesn't have a name yet. We buy crickets at the pet store for my lizards to eat.
I've been making some friends at church. Their names are Ethan, Thomas, and Jonathan.
Guess what?! My Dad used to have a pony tail and he got it cut off. Jacquie and I weren't there when he got it cut off. When Daddy got home he had his pony tail tucked in his hat hanging down. When he took his hat off we still didn't notice. Then we finally noticed. It was really funny!

On Wednesday we moved our sailboat into the water. It was cool to see it getting moved into the water. There was a box shaped crane. It used big straps under the boat. The straps clamp together. A man drives the crane over to the water. Then they lower the boat down.
We started to motor the sailboat to our friend Howard's dock behind his house but we didn't get there til the next day. On the way we passed 2 lifting bridges and one swing bridge. We also went through 2 locks. A lock is something you motor. It has 2 doors, one at each end. One closes while the other one opens. If the water level is lower, the higher level that you're in will go down. If it is higher then the water will go into the locks and you will go up. The trip was fun, exciting, and adventurous. The weather was hot and sunburny.

A few days ago we finally got our swiming pool up. It's really cool! We got a floating baskeball net and three fun noodles.
We went to Fort Myers Beach. The sand felt nice between my toes and the water was really, really, really salty! The waves were lots of fun to play in. We built a sand fort but we never really finished it. We had ice cream on the beach. The ice cream man had an ice cream bike instead of a truck. My sister buried me in the sand. At first it felt wet but then it dried off. Once it was time to get out, I tried and tried but it was really hard. Then I started to move my tummy and it broke through and I finally got out.

I watched the video of you digging out of the sand! It was funy, when you put that crumbling sound on...whatever that was! I miss you lots. SA
