Fall Break

 We have had a busy couple of weeks.  I do not know why I have not been able to sit down at the computer and write.  I think that is has been because I have been doing so much crocheting in my free time to make gifts for the holidays.

Two weeks ago we had fall break from school so we went to Huntington Beach state park.  Again this year we had a great trip.  We brought the new camper and found all kinds of problems with it.  At night it was raining and the sky light over the bed leaked all over CJ and I.  CJ just slept right thought it but I wake up soaked and had to wake Jay and CJ.  That same first night I get a migraine.  I found that it is not fun to have a migraine while camping and the camp ground bathrooms are no place for throwing up.  In the morning we laid all the wet blankets out and took off to CJ’s surprise.  This was a trip to the Aquarium in Myrtle Beach.  I have never been to an Aquarium before so it was really great.  Sometimes I think that the things that I do for CJ and more because I would have love to do that as a child then really for her.  I think that she really liked the Aquarium and getting to go to the Mermaid Boutique.  I took her the Mermaid boutique and she received a Mermaid make over.  They put a tail on her and did her hair and make-up.   I think that she really liked it because the next day she redid her make up.  After going to the Aquarium Jay and CJ want to the beach for the rest of the day.  CJ so loves being on the beach.  She played, danced, and sang over and over.  I never see her that happy as she is on the beach.  She very wants to leave and I think that if her belly did not get hungry she would not leave.  I love watcher her and Jay so happy.  Jay fished he did not catch much but loved trying.  We went to dinner at a very pricey restaurant called Crabby Mikes so that everyone could get some sea food.  We will not do that again but you have to do things like that every once in a while.  I have never spent so much on a dinner before.  The next day we got up went for a nice walk on the beach.  It was fun having morning coffee on the beach and again CJ had so much fun playing.  We then packed up and went home saying that we will do this again next year.

The following week we did our regular routine.  Hebrew school, girl scouts, and birthday parties.  CJ went to a Duck Dynasty Birthday party.  Everyone has been going crazy over Duck Dynasty.  At CJ’s school they had Duck Dynasty Day.  We had never let CJ watch Duck Dynasty so we let her watch an episode so that she knows what everyone was talking about.  She thought that show was really funny.   During Girl Scouts we made ornaments and cards.  On Saturday, we went to our second American Girl Club meeting.  They did Kiyah the Native American doll.  CJ and her friend McClairen had a good time.  After they wanted to do a scavenger hunt through the museum.
