Alden on Snorkeling and flip flops

Yesterday, we met up with our friend George. He lives here but he moved here from Connecticut a couple of years ago. He is white too so we blend together. He has a beautiful boat and he is a dive instructor so, he took us snorkeling off his boat. It was so pretty because we were farther out into the sea so we could see a lot more fun creatures than we would if we were closer to shore. My dad and I were swimming near a rock and we saw a spiky fish that was stuck between two rocks. We also saw some cool coral called fan coral. It is shaped like a fan and it waves just like one too as the current pushes it back and forth.

We have seen so many of our clothes or books that we donated last year. Mollie Sieve’s pink flip-flops were seen being worn by a teenage boy. We saw an older man sitting on the road reading a children’s book about a hippo brushing his teeth. We wondered if this man was just learning how to read because when he was young, many boys learned how to farm instead of read.

Has anybody figured out the longitude-latitude contest yet? We are waiting to get the gift until the winner answers right so we know if it is a boy or a girl. Start studying!
