The four of us visited the Aquarium and the turtle hospital last weekend.  Even though, it was an extra fee to go behind the scene to see the turtles up close it was totally worth it, and all proceeds go toward the care of the turtles. They had a tank full of baby turtles that hatched sometime in December, which is very rare. The babies were released back out in the ocean at some point last week. The hospital had 3 different types of turtles for us to see Loggerheads, Greens, and Kemp's Ridley.
The kids also enjoyed the touch tank,the river otters, the octopus, and seeing an albino Alligator,which Sabastian thought was fake.

Sabastian's entry on The Charleston Museum

I had so much fun going to the first museum of America, it was founded in 1773. There is so much stuff to do. I liked almost everything. I liked the swords, pistols, and shot guns. I also liked playing checkers with Cole, a fellow live aboard!The animals that were stuffed were awesome. That is why i had fun.

Sabastian's entry on moving south part 2

I love moving the boat. When we left the tavern we had to cross the ocean until we reached the ICW. When we woke up there was a thick fog. It took an hour untill the fog cleared up. The we went down to Myrtle Beach. The next day we found a sandbar by accident. I went flying and cut my head. Because we grounded we needed Boat US to help us out.After we got pulled out we ended the day in McKlenenville,SC. When I woke up we were in a swamp after one hour of travel we were in Charleston.

Sabastian's entry on moving south part 1

I had so much fun moving the boat south. On the first day I went grocery shopping. I even got to play in the 14 inches of snow in Portsmouth, VA. The next day we went into a lock on the icw( Inter Coastal Waterway or the Ditch) and through several bridges.We ended up in Pungo,VA. When it was New Years Eve I went to a tavern and ate dinner. After dinner we played poker and i won $23.00. That is why I had fun.

Paisley's entry on the Charleston Museum

Today I had a homeschooling class. The class is at a museum. We learned about the safari and some history. History is fun. I dressed up as a girl from the past. In the safari I learned about nocturnal animals.

Paisley's entry on Christmas Break

Best Blanket Ever!!

Godo and Pappa's Tree

Christmas time is so fun. We packed our things and got in our cars to go to Aubrey and Jonathan's house. We spent 3 nights at their house and had lots of fun. Then we moved to Grammy and Papa's house. We spent 3 nights there as well. We moved to Godo and Pappa's house next. On Christmas Eve we went to church and then we ate and played some before heading back to Godo and Pappa's house.The next morning was Christmas and we opened presents! It was fun.

Paisley's entry on our car trip to Charleston

Early one Monday morning Godo, Mom, and I got in our cars. We drove for 1 hour and then we picked up Grammy and Papa. One hour and 30 minutes later we all stopped for a potty break. 45 minutes later we stopped for lunch. Finally, we made it after 7 hours of travel. We stayed at a hotel and the next day we started looking at marinas 2 were too big and 1 was just right. I like the marina we picked because there are 2 kids here. The marina is close to a lot of things.

Paisley's entry on The Children's Museum in Charleston

My family and I were exploring Charleston and we went to the children's museum. I will tell you what i did. We went into a castle. The castle had a dungeon and secret passageways. We all did some art projects and painted. The ball room was also fun. I had a good time.

The four of us joined the Warner family for some wintertime fun at the Hunt Club Farm in Virginia Beach, VA on Saturday Dec 11, 2010. Peyton and Sabastian both enjoyed pony rides and feeding the baby goats. All three kids had a blast playing on the play sets and running around the petting farm area.

 After we had our fill of Turkey and Ham we began celebrating Paisley's 9th birthday. My dad purchased some leather from Tandy Leather so that all four kids could have some fun creating their own bookmarks and bracelets. It brought back many fond memories for both my brother and myself. I know without a doubt my 2 would like to do more leather projects in the future.

2)Look through the notch.
3) Aim at the target.
4) Slowly release the trigger.
5) look and see if you hit your target.
