On Friday our friend Mia invited us to her school for a Christmas festival. It was fun. Every class did their own songs on the stage. Some had hand movements. They had lots of games. I also got cotton candy and conch (pronounced konk) fritters. Conch is a sea creature that lives in a shell in the ocean. It tastes really, really, really good.
On Saturday we went to another Christmas festival. I won the tug of war. The rope broke in half so both sides won. I got a free t-shirt for winning. They also had a May Pole. A bunch of kids each had a ribbon attached to the pole. They all ran in a circle. The kids weaved in and out and went opposite directions. The ribbons made a really cool design on the pole.
About a week ago I lost my wallet. I left it on the bus. A couple of days ago my dad found the bus driver. The bus driver gave it back.
Ben.

Yesterday it was really windy. The palm trees looked like they were going to fall over. The basketball net in the tennis court and the one across the street blew over. The boat rocked a lot. There was a lot of creaking because the boat was banging against the dock. Daddy adjusted the lines so we wouldn't slam into the dock anymore.
Today we saw a crab. Jacquie took a video of it. The crab climbed under the dock. Daddy got a wire and pulled it out so we could see it.
Today we're going to decorate for Christmas. We have already put up a two foot tall Christmas tree that is made of cardboard. We had to build it from a kit. We keep it on the kitchen table. When we do the rest of the decorating we will get to eat snacks and listen to Christmas music. It will be fun.

Hi. We're in the Bahamas. We sailed from Bimini Bahamas a couple nights ago. It was really rocky. My sister threw up twice. Yesterday we went on a dinghy ride. A dinghy is a small boat to go to shore when anchored out. I got to drive. It was fun. We saw a sunken ship. It was cool. We also swam in the pool. When we were in Bimini we swam in the ocean. It was easy to see the bottom.
