This is the story of Florida. On Saturday we left to go to Tampa. And we went to the strawberry patch. I had a beef sandwich and I only ate half of it. The strawberry shortcake watered in my mouth when I took a bite out of it. On Sunday we went to a baseball game for Grandpa’s birthday and we also went to Jesse’s. The Yankees and the Twins were playing against each other. The Yankees lost by seven but it was OK that the home team didn’t win. It’s just a game you know. Their pitching was horrible but when they were in the field they did really good because the game was super fast. Uncle Nick bought girl scout cookies, his favorite kind thin mints! On Monday we went to the Oyster Bar for Grandpa’s birthday with his friends Patsy, Mary, and some other ones of his friends. After dinner we went to Patsy’s house. SHE HAD A POOL!!! And, she also had card games. On Tuesday we were leaving. In the morning we watched Jake and the Neverland Pirates and we went to the swimming pool. We had to go in the outside pool and on Rion’s birthday we went in the indoor pool, just to mention it. So, that’s our trip to Florida. All done. – Owen
On one Saturday we went to Florida and guess what! We saw our grandpa and I know how to buckle my seat in the car. Now guess what! I have an exciting thing to tell you. On the second one, on Sunday, my birthday was on Sunday. And, on Monday it was our grandpa’s birthday. And then on Tuesday we went home. And in the plane, I screamed because our dad. And what we did in Florida, one morning something turned on and Owen screamed and it was like something was growling, but the sprinklers were hitting our house. We went to the pool one day and guess what! We went swimming on Sunday and on Tuesday. Then, guess what. We went to the Yankees game on Sunday, my birthday. And guess who won. Not the Yankees. It was at their spring training stadium. We went to the beach and we made a big tree and we’re not sure if anybody knocked it down, a little tree and a big tree. Do you know why we made the little tree? Cuz we were super excited, we just wanted to make trees. And you know what? We couldn’t even see the little tree from our car. We knew the big one was still up. We do not know if the big one is still up because we are at home now. Done. – Rion S.The four of us, along with Nick, made a quick trip to Florida this weekend to celebrate Rion turning 5 and to surprise Grandpa on his 90th birthday. He was shocked to answer his door and see the boys. I’m shocked that we were able to make it a surprise. As soon as we got there Rion asked Grandpa to take him to the strawberry patch for strawberry shortcake. We then all napped. The 6am flight may have been cheaper, but getting up at 3:30 was very early. Sunday was Rion’s 5th birthday. He wasn’t crazy that we were taking Grandpa to a Yankees spring training game that day, but in the end he said it was his favorite thing, more so than swimming in the pool. He also loved the giant brownie sundae from Jesse’s. On Monday, we went to the beach and they loved being able to get into the bay. That night, we had our last surprise, a 90th birthday party with Grandpa’s friends. Owen decided that he LOVED pineapple upside down cake, which is also Grandpa’s favorite. Now, I have to make him one for his party on Sunday. Tuesday we were able to see the manatees and swim in the outdoor pool. It was a warm, sunny day and we hated to leave! Four days was not enough, but we made the most of it. The boys decided that we are going to surprise Grandpa Florida for his 100th birthday too. He said that it will be a big surprise if he has a 100th birthday. J - N
