mom, sammie, and Bailey's ADEVNTURES

Today was the funnest day for Bailey and us I should add. We went to the old shipyard and threw the ball into the water for Bailey. Boy did we get messy. There was a slippery mudslide on the boat launch. It was just like surfing except way more harder. We saw three cormorans on buoys drying their wings. We saw an osprey fishing. We wrote a song, but I dont like it so I wont type it. We saw lots of tiny butterflies and a ground hog at the Wallace's house. We were so surprised to see the sun today because we haven't seen it in a long time. We take Bailey for walks either to the shipyard or the boat yard. She likes to walk on the docks. I wish we had a boat. Bailey would like to go on a boat. I wish dad would stop mowing the lawn and cook us hamburgers now.

Band Camp is Awsome

Today was the fourth day of my band camp. It has been awhile since we have blogged a new entry. That is why I decided to blog something for the first time. Anyway I am having a spectacular time and actually have made friends other than other camps I've been too. I am having a good time for many reasons actually because we don't just do regular band we do jazz band and even chorus. That is really not all that I enjoy it's basically everything. The music selections, new friends, the activities, and many more. Today we got to do water games after all the work we did today and had a water balloon fight and I happened to be one of the people who had no swim suit or a change of cloths. I happened to be the one who got chucked with water balloons the most. It was not pretty. But it was great. On top of that I carpooled home with three boys. I still enjoy band camp but there are some ups and downs about it. Any who tomorrow is the concert so I am very nervous but still excited and hope for the outcome to be great.

Sincerely, Madeline Whittemore

Happy Father's Day

Today is a rainy father's day.  Dad is not going to get to do his list of things that will make the day special.  He wanted to go for a hike with the family.  We had planned to go camping but the monsoon predicted for the weekend prevented us from doing that.  So instead we started today off with Eggs Benedict and potatos O'Brien.  Samantha made a tile for him and a wonderful card.  Madeline is in a good mood.  That is present enough.  We have decided to stay in and make a huge fort all through the house.  This blog entry will be out tribute Dad...who rocks our world!

Hello Summer Vacation

Yahooaaa, is Samantha's first word for the beginning of summer vacation.  And now she is headed out to play tennis against the garage before we take a bike ride.

Maddie has a more quiet perspective of summer vacation.  She is still excited though, but realized that she is a person who needs more structure in her life.  She wants to know what is going on and make a plan.

Mom and Dad just want to start the day with coffee and not think about anything until the brain cells are sharp again and we have gotten through the three pages of newspaper left.

It is too bad that we couldn't go camping this weekend as it has been raining very hard.  Instead we decided to start a family blog.  Lucky for you!  SO we'll start by posting some of the pictures from this past year and hope to take a bunch of new ones so you can see whats going on for us.
