Strawberry picking....the first of all the fruits we picked during vacation.

Girl's trip to the beach! (Part two)

Mi sobrina needed some serious protein!

A little breakfast at noon time.

It was a good thing we got some nutrition in us because there was some serious outlet shopping afterwards. I got 90% of my Christmas shopping done...yes! Before heading home we decided to take one more trip to the beach! Couldn't have been more perfect! Weather, kites, sun, family, rocks, and a little frisbee to help our smiles linger all the way home....who are we kidding....there was an new Ross we had to check out before heading home.

Selfie got a little close.

Group photo as we bask in the sun!

Kite festival going on.

Mi hermanita playing some serious frisbee!

Beautiful afternoon!

Cute kite!

The stones I collected at the beach! I loved the natural holes! I want to make jewelry out of them.

A wonderful soup dinner as we continued our shopping towards homeward.

Tons of THANKS to my family for providing me a wonderful birthday memory! I will cherish this trip more than words can say!

Saw seals lounging and playing in the water!

Birthday dinner!

We also stopped by a wonderful book store where they had tons of phonic and reader books. I bought three with publishing dates ranging from 1886-1915. But those will be another post!

Summer fun!

Had some free time to take some pictures of mi sobrina on our way to church.

After church I gave her a sewing lesson at grandma's house. She made her first Batman 'man' bag for her brother.

Trying on grandma's wedding hat.

I love this 'vogue' look from mi sobrina!

Having a a Diners, Drive-in and Dives Lunch

And a little amusement park time on a roller coaster with mi sobrino.

Fin de semaña

Tuve muchos actividades para mi fin de semaña pasado. Viernes, caminé con mi tío en la mañana, fui a la casa de mi abuela para almuerzo, y fui con la familia de mi hermana a un mercado de una ciudad. Comimos en el restaurante afuera. Mi hermana y yo compartimos ravioles fantasticos.

Sábado, caminé con mi abuelo. Después, fui a la casa de mi abuelo y le ayudé con las luces en el techo y el ventiladore de techo. Después le manejé a un restaurante porque era de mis abuelos aniversario. Yo salí y comí la cena a la casa de mis padres.

Domingo, fui a laiglesia con mi gato y mis abuelos. Después fuimos al restaurante pero mi gato necesitaba para permanecer en el coche. Cuando nosotros terminamos el almuerzo, le ayudé a mi vecino a coser. Mi vecino quiso hacer un bolsa de Batman para su hermano. Después fuimos a la casa de mi tía porque yo quise ver el partido de fútbol, La Copa del Mundo. El juego estaba empatado.

Hablando en español con mi sobrina.

Mi sobrina y yo fuimos al Starbucks ayer para chocolates calientes. Nosotras hablamos en español por el tiempo entero. Hablamos sobre nuestros favoritos colores, animales, amigos, familia, y la musica. Ella tiene siete años y sabe cuando usar 'ser' y 'estar'. Ella escribió en español anteayer y usé 'ser' con familia y 'estar' con sentimientos. Ella olvidé sus accentos, pero es muy dificil cuando escribiendo. Una vez por la semana, yo quiero ir al Starbucks y hablo con mi sobrina en español.
