For a whole week the Beans were here.  We had a lot of fun.

We went on a family vacation to Houston.  We went to the beach, that was the first place we went.  Then we went to a swimming pool.  Then that was a day.  Then we went to Nasa.  Then we went to the Boardwalk.  Then that was the end of the day.  Then the next day we went to the Children's Museum and Natural Museum of History.  Then that was the end of the day.  Then the next day we went to the Aquarium.  Then that was the end of the day.  Then the next day we saw James' baptism and we went home.

My favorite thing on Nasa was seeing the movie of the rocket ships.  And the boardwalk, my favorite ride where you go uuuuuupppppp and doooooowwwwwn and uuuuuupppppp and doooooowwwwwn. (The rocking ship.)  My favorite part of the Children's Museum was the rock climbing and exercise place and being on the news.  And at the Natural History Museum my favorite part was the gems.  Then we went to the Aquarium and I had a bunch of favorite parts: petting the sting rays, they feel so weird and cool and squishy, and seeing the sharks, and seeing the octopus and the parrot.  We stayed at Grandma's and Grandpa's for two days.  My favorite part of Grandma's and Grandpa's was the building blocks.

So, we never written for our journal since 3 months so my Mom's making me write all the things we just did.  And we did a bunch of stuff.  We ended the school year.  We saw the 4th of July thing.  We ran the mile.  And we're about to hit cleaning the church month.  We ran a mile it was at a park.  I ran and I had this ribbon my neck and I was like, "I just want to get this ribbon off my neck."  I was in 2nd place until my Dad passed me and I was 4th overall.  I even beat all of the adults but 3.  And I beat all of the kids.  And she gave out prizes to all of us.  1st girl adult, 1st stroller, 1st boy adult, 1st kid boy, 1st kid girl, Scout jersey, and the family that had the most shirts.  And the Sampson family won; their shirts were all red, white, and blue.  I had ate breakfast and then I talked to my friend Austin.  We walked around the mile again.  And while we were walking on the first mile, Nicoy showed us a pond.  And we saw frogs jumping in, water spiders, and a fake duck.  And we went back.  We were checking if the half way water check was still there.  And we looked and it wasn't there anymore.  And right before we ended the 3rd mile, we sat down and I standed up and there was a bunny rabbit.  And me and Austin walked up to it and we were like 5 or 3 feet away from it.  So it ran into the bushes.  I scared it away more.  And we walked the whole mile and our Dads were walking to look for us.  And we went in the car and drove home.

Then I think it was 2 weeks ago on Wednesday, Grandpa Felsch died.  And my brother went to EFY and Scout Camp.  And my Mom went to Grandpa Felsch's funeral.  And they both got back and we were very excited to see them again.

And this is kind of weird, but I'm gonna tell you it.  So me and my Mom went shopping.  And she got me a whole load of shirts and pants.  And, I had to get dressed in them and I had to come out and Mom would approve it or not.  And one of my favorites she said "no" and I was so mad.  And when we were at the shopping guy, he said it was $246.  (It wasn't that much.)

And like on, I don't know what month it was, me and Emma were really practicing for a tornado.  And I would say, "Tornado, tornado," and Emma would run and get into her correct spot.  Here's the safest.  Cameron is the safest, then Mom, then Errolyn, then me, then Emma, then its Dad.  And today my Mom and Dad got a new dishwasher and there's this really big box.  So, me and Emma builded a fort with it and the box is my room and Emma's feet can lay in it.  And I set up the lamp next to and the clock.  And so, I builded a wall made out of a body cushion and a wall made out of baskets.

And I don't when my Mom and Dad painted, but they painted like everywhere.  And this one wall was painted brown and it looks very good.
