W'apow mu e,
The kids were up bright and early this morning. When I got up, they said, "Mom, we are ready to go. We already ate breakfast." They got the cereal and the milk out and helped themselves.
We headed to the ocean a little before 9:00. We all guessed what time we would get there, and Daddy was the closest. The kids kept us laughing on the way there. I should have written down some of the things that they said because I can't remember them now.
The tide was just going out. There were a lot of seashells today. Gilbert kept trying to get Danny to go out into the ocean with him. Danny said that he had to get seashells first. After Danny picked up several seashells, he handed me the bag and asked if I could pick up some more so that he could go play in the ocean. Bonnie usually sticks to Daddy like glue in the ocean, but she kept saying that she wanted to do it by herself today. Joe let her stand by herself, but he was right there next to her. We built some sand castles; then, it was back out into the ocean. Around lunch time, it started to rain. By the time we got cleaned up and changed, it had stopped raining.

We walked down to the French restaurant for lunch. The kids spotted the monkey right away. It was up in the tree. Then, the kids saw puppies. They played with the puppies while we waited for our food. I had turned away from the table to talk to Joe. When I turned back around, the monkey was sitting on the table right next to me. That scared me! The monkey went from the table to Bonnie's chair. Bonnie was up playing with the puppies, but she was not happy about the monkey being in her chair.
After lunch, we walked back to the vehicle and headed home. The kids all fell asleep on the way home. None of them slept very long though. They all fell asleep early tonight.
Joe has been asked to preach on the radio tomorrow morning at 6:30 for fifteen minutes. This is a trial run. If it goes well, they want to have him start preaching on the radio a few times a week.
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
