Back From Vacation!

Did you wonder where I was? I was on vacation in Cocoa Beach! My brother got to go to the Space Academy camp for a week at Kennedy Space Center. Instead of driving back and forth from our house, we decided to stay at the beach for a week. My mom took me, my sister, and my brother. My dad came to visit the last day.

On Wednesday, I was eating a Cheezit and I had a very loose tooth. When I bit down on one I bit something like a rock. It was my loose tooth that came out. The next day my brother bit down on a water bottle and he lost a tooth too!

Me, my mom and my sister went to the beach everyday. We found really pretty scallop shells. I will post some more pictures tomorrow.

Almost every day we went to a jetty and watched cruise ships take off. They are HUGE and the people on them waved and cheered when they went by!!!! It was a lot of fun. The ships were REALLY close and really BIG too.

This one is a Disney ship. See the Mickey Mouse on the top? That is my sister waving.


One night it was rainy so my mom gave us hair wraps. This is part of mine:


This is my sister's:


This is a rocket launch pad you can see from the beach and the jetty.

We love to go to the beach when it is really hot out. We like to boogie board and we like to play in the ocean. I have never had swimming lessons. But one day my cousin was at the beach with me and we were both really little. When my mom came home from work I told her that I could swim. And she said "no you can't!" and I said "yes I can" and then we repeated that over about 5 times until I jumped in the pool and amazed her. Yes, my cousin had taught me how to swim at the beach!!!!! My cousin is also my best friend in the whole entire universe!

Did you know that sea turtles lay their eggs on the beach and then bury them? A fact that I learned is that when the sea turtles hatch and grow up and then go to lay their own eggs, they lay them right where they were born! I don't know how they can do that, but they do!



The signs are to keep the sea turtle eggs safe. One of the rules is that you could go to prison if you bother the nest. And you could have a fine too. Well you can read the sign.



Here is my little sister looking for shells! There are tons and tons and tons of shells there sometimes when the tide goes out. Once I collected shells to make a necklace but I never got to finish it. I have always wanted to find on the beach a whole scallop with both sides attached. We find lots of pretty ones, but only one side. Another thing I've always wanted to find is a gigantic starfish.


This really tall yucca or aloe type plant is blooming. That tall stalk is its flower and you can see how tall it is compared to the sign. I don't know the name of the plant yet.
