In 2008 we went to the beach a lot. There’s only one reason I don’t like the beach: I don’t like taking a shower after. At the beach I like to make sand castles and sand angels. Sometimes I make a person with sand. My person is funny when I make boobies on her.

My favorite thing we did last year is when we went to Ben and Jerry’s. When we went to Ben and Jerry’s we could see a bunch of stuff about ice cream and how they make it. The reason it is my favorite thing is because we saw cool stuff and got to try ice cream.

Another thing we did in 2008 is we went to a Flickr meetup. We went hiking in the woods while my dad took a lot of pictures.

We went to Boston, also. We stayed at a hotel by the beach. We had a big breakfast at the hotel. Our room was pretty. We got to go swimming. In Boston we played for a little while by a fountain and went to the Museum of Science.

Also, in 2008, we went to the Children’s Museum of Maine. We had a fun time there playing on the fire truck, store, space shuttle, and sawmill.

My first day of kindergarten I was shy. The only people that I wasn’t shy to was Miranda and Joseph. In kindergarten we get to learn each others’ names. I also get to meet new people that aren’t in my class. My favorite “special” in kindergarten is computer because we get to play on KidPix. On KidPix you can draw pictures. My teacher is Mrs. Arnold. She is nice. I was shy on the bus, but not to everybody, like Rachael and Ariana.

We went to lighthouses a lot. I like walking on rocks to get to the lighthouses.
