On Thursday I got to read the opening paragraph at Mass (and was told I did a great job. My confidence talking in front of all those people is sure growing!). It was a great way to start my fun long weekend. My Grandma turned 60 on Saturday so we took a trip to the Washington Coast and stayed in a "Hotel House." My Auntie Joanie came too but unfortunately she got pretty sick so she couldn't play with us and I ended up getting sick too so we left a day early, bummer! We did however have a great birthday celebration and fun Saturday playing on the chilly beach, going bowling for the first time, going out to dinner and singing to my grandma. I can't wait to go to school tomorrow and tell everyone about my trip.
