ahoy, mate...

we are enjoying our stay at panama city beach this week. i have many pictures that i need to post, but we had some real excitement yesterday. daddy took mommy & me sailing in the bay. we did not have much wind, but we did have an amazing experience with this dolphin! daddy was the first to notice her when we were in the middle of the bay. i named her roxanne. we tried to get more pictures, but she was pretty quick. we saw her surface SeVeRaL times & once she even waved with her tail fin! we knocked on the side of the boat to attract her. she also bumped the keel of the boat & pushed it up! as we returned to the boat dock, roxanne seemed to be following us & continued to put on a show, even as we had exited the boat & we were on the dock.

a water-slide party at my church...

here are some pictures from a recent water party at my church...

pictureboxes...

you know what these boxes are called---- picture boxes! they are not ordinary cardboard boxes... they are just small little wooden boxes with pictures on them. i got the word "picture box" from a farm video that my daddy found when he was cleaning up. you remember that my friend kiki went to her bedroom with marina, kitty, and their parents. suddenly they p-u-l-l-e-d the string "on the count of 3," everyone said together. "one two three, PULL!" this is the nature of a picture box. the picture on the box just grows bigger & bigger & BIGGER! suddenly kiki, marina, kitty, and their parents just dashed downstairs to see what happened with the picture box. then they were ready for kiki's new little activity.

hot fun in the summertime...

grammy & pappy got this pool at their house last summer. it is large enough for me to float in & sometimes grammy even joins me! it's a great way to cool off!!
