Last Post From Vacation

Today is my last day not doing school.  Sniff, sniff!

We went to the water park last week and I held a boa constrictor.  I am attaching a picture of me at the water park with it. I held three parrots but I don't have the picture.  I went on a creepy roller coaster that ended in the water.  It wasn't crowded, so I got to sit in the front seat three times, but not in a row.  There were sea lions at the park too.  We went on almost all the rides, except two rides that I didn't go on, but Mommy did and she went upside down.  There was also one water one that Mommy and Daddy said was too dangerous for me.  I was tall enough but I didn't want to; it was too scary.  I'm usually not afraid of scary stuff, but that time I was.

We also went to Sagres this week and we saw the end of the Algarve and the end of Portugal.  We also went a cool beach where the river flowed into the ocean.  The river was salt water--you know how I knew?  I tasted!  And the waves were HUMONGOUS!

We also went to Silves and walked up to a very cool castle.  The castle even had this underwater part where the people who lived there got their water.  It was called a cistern.  It was really big.

I've been playing soccer this week.  I scored a goal in our scrimmage and that was our winning goal--well, no, it was the second goal, which made it the winning goal because we won 2-1.

Today is the first day of rain.  We haven't had rain in so long we almost forgot what to do.  I was trying to take a shower on deck when it started.

Next week I'll post all about school and being in first grade!
