Beaufort, SC, Jeklyll Island, Florida

Update From Erin: You know how it is supposed to be warm in Florida? Who ever said that and put the palm trees there was never in Florida. It is so cold here. In the morning you can see your breath. Although it is still warm enough for the warm blooded mammals. We have seen a lot of dolphins. They don't come all the way out of the water though. I wish they did. I only get to see the top fin.

I went kayaking in Beaufort, NC. When I was done, I tied it off. But the knot at the kayak end did not stay on. It fell off and now we are down one kayak (spelled back words is kayak). We also joined with our two cousins and grandparents. Mark the oldest one, with lots of black curly hair was taking pictures (like always) and stepped on an ant hill. This was no ordinary ant hill, it was a fire ant hill. He looked down to see the fire ants biting him and took pictures. Now he has marks from where they bit him. Now Mark has marks! We went to Jekyll Island, Georgia. On that island there had been a person named Hyde. Is that creepy or what? They also had a swimming pool. I had to go swimming of course! To make the story short, I jumped in and right back out. We met other kids on a boat named 'Bird on a Wire'. Their names are Kristen and Annie. The older one is Annie and the younger one is Kristen. We had a few sleepovers and taught them to rider our rip sticks. On Jekyll Island we also got to see the millionaire's club. It was where rich people spent their time in the winter. This was before ww2. Well that's all for now folks!

This is a post by Geneva: Hey y'all we have had the most... umm... I don't know what words to use but oh well! Anyway we have finaly met new people to travel with yay! But the amazing thing is they have kids and a dog (of course named Rudder) so double yay for that! Their names are Annie(12) and Kristen(9). We got to teach them how to Ripstik and let me tell you. They learned faster then me. But its nice to get to travel with someone to Florida. Oh, by the way did I tel you they are from Canada! Aww and we were just there for the North Channel! Oh well... Beaufort, SC was an exciting place. We made it just in time for the Veterans parade. We also got to meet up with my parents' friends the Costigans. I think they are going to travel with us to the Bahamas for Christmas, so thats awesome. They have a Catameran and three kids. Brady(13), Brian(9), and Annmarie(12). Soooo thats really all I can think of thats been super exciting except we got to explore this awsome island and I stepped on a cactus(it hurt), saw dolphins, a dead bird, a run over armidillo(how nice). And my message for school? Kids stay in school! Later Peeps! Peace! : )
