Florida Family Fun

Waterslide at Home

WE kids had been talking about going to a waterpark this summer -- we ended up having just as much fun at someone's house!  They had a homemade waterslide that went into a lake - it was a LOT faster than it looks! They also had another slide on a houseboat that we got to slide off of. And that wasn't all - we also got to go tubing -- behind a motorboat!  It was awesome!  We had a wonderful day!

And, because we had so much fun doing this...we opted NOT to go pay money for a waterpark during our family time here in Florida...instead we rented bikes....and have had LOTS of fun riding around together!  pics of more family fun to come later.

New Seal Tunnel at St. Louis Zoo

Our family met with cousins at the St. Louis Zoo....

Locks for Love

Alanna, mom and I all got our hair cut for Locks for Love.  I want to grow mine out and do it again.  I am not sure about the others.

Hi,
We might be getting our hair cut for Locks of Love. I want my hair in bangs and layered.
 We had a surprise party for Aunt Randa. We had ice cream cake. When I  got my piece and started eating, it melted. We had a late night last night.
   We will go to Tennessee on the 17th. 7 hours of traveling.
 Over the weekend, Daddy preached at a church in St. Louis. We spend the night with Daddy's cousins family.  We went to the zoo with them.  We went through a seal tunnel - we could see water all around us. On Tuesday, we swam at the Aquatic center and went to Pizza Man with the Byars family. It was a bunch of fun. I got Brooklyn to go on the diving boards ( high and low dive). Went down the Green Scream.  Went on the sharks and rafts. Got dumped on. Just swam. Sat at the bottom of the pool at 9 feet.

What's up

Hi,
 We are in Illionis now. When we were in Indiana we had a fun time with the Chandlers. We met some friends that are from Astralia.Their mom is from Hong Kong. We caught  fireflies it was their first time catching fireflies and we went wild when we saw a firefly. On Friday Alanna and I ate lunch with the Chandler girls {Lydia, Trisha, and  Kylie}.
   We had a fun time in South Carolina Mom and Dad had some meetings there. The folks there had some sand toys and goggles and body boards which we have never done before. So we had a fun time there.
  Yesterday  Dad preached at four church serveces. Alanna and I sang at Mama's church  (Mom did to). We Played with the Dices we had fun.

Just About Everything

Hi,
   We have a new pet chick.  We can't tell if it's gender yet.  Its name is Blacky, because it is black. It wasn't  from any of our hens, but its momma had other chickies and that one had a hurt leg so we took it in.
   I have made more bows even though the case that holds them is full. I am making them to take to the
States (short for United States).
     Here we come summer fun! School is out! No more class clowns!
     We are going to the States today. In Haiti I think there is a song that has MFI in it. We are going on MFI! Yumm.
     The first time Kristina went on a plane and she could talk. She said the plane was going to fall. So we  flapped our "wings" like a bird. We have done that every time  for take off since then.
       We are leaving at 11:30 I think.
