Hi this is Lily. Today we went to the Children’s museum which isn’t like a history museum it is a place where you can play. At this museum there was a pirate ship On the pirate ship there was a cannon that was really loud and it sort of hurt my hands from holding my ears.
After that we went to the other part of the museum. There was a car and tools that you had to fix. And then we went to the store. Violet got 2 big bags full of plastic food and bread, my mom got 1 small bag with stuff to make a stew. I was the clerk.
Then we went to the garden/playground. Had a picnic lunch on the beach and did some gymnastics on the beach and grass.
Violet was really the finder of the baby palm tree. We saw a teeny tiny coconut on it then dada came and picked us up. When we got home Violet and I went into a boat yard right next to us and found 2 more coconuts so now i have 7 coconuts!!!! We were about to go up to the boat when dada said do you want to crack open the coconut. And i said yes so he got the hammer and another tool that i have never seen before and he started to tear that coconut right apart.
we opened it after dinner and had the milk and the coconut and then i was stuck here writing to you guys. (Which i really enjoy 🙂 )
Hey Lil. Sounds like you are having the time of your life. I’m enjoying reading your posts, it makes me feel like I’m on vacation with you. These are memories you will have forever. How was the coconut? Yummy. Abbe is here visiting today she says “hello”, it’s not the same without our Lilabell!
Oh I know that it would be fun to come into the kitchen it is very windy here 🌪😍
I like the way Lily calls Andy Dada. I guess that name runs in the family since I, too, called my father Dada. What a fun day. Thanks, Lily.
I think it does I have been calling him that for a long time😘
Thank you, Lily, for your wonderful and informative post! I love your writing style and the detail with which you explain your adventures. Good job and I’m jealous of your coconuts. Save some for me. Love you to bits, Mimi xoxo
I will get you a lot of coconut milk and coconut
Does a “…sailing adventure…” include actual sailing?
Good Lord I hope so…
Patience, grasshopper, as you like to say. Although I think you (all of you) have exhibited a huge amount of patience in this venture! xoxo
Susan, you and your crew are providing wonderful winter reading for all of us. Once your adventure is complete, your blog turns into a book ready for publication.
In the meantime, how about submitting what you already have to Sail Magazine or Cruising World? For winter bound sailors like me, Salviosails is a daily vicarious escape and reminder of what awaits all New England sailors come May, when we too will prepare our boats for the splash we all love.
That’s so kind, Frank! Glad you’re enjoying our shenanigans; we certainly are. A good splash indeed.
