Hi! It’s me – Betty. I’m still here on the sailboat and we are still sailing away from winter. I hope. It’s supposed to be warmer where we are going, but so far, it’s been pretty chilly. Sometimes I stay cozy by hiding out in Nanny’s backpack (she calls it a knap sack. Hahahaha!)
We do go to beaches sometimes when it is warm. When we were on Cuttyhunk Island (funny name!) Nanny found a cool crab. I got to meet him and he was bigger than me! It was just a shell though, so I wasn’t scared. Nanny says it is a horseshoe crab and they have been around since before dinosaurs! It does look like a horse’s foot.
Sometimes I like to go to other places too. We haven’t seen many playgrounds, but we did find a cool restaurant with all kinds of games on their patio. Nanny and I had fun checking them out one morning.
Then we went into a little jungle dome. How about this guy? I’m glad he was sleepy, not hungry.
The tiger had a friend – a boa constrictor! Turns out he was friendly too.
My favorites were the monkeys. They are pretty agile – just like Kennedy and Sloan on the monkey bars!
This guy taught me some new moves.
When it was time to go back to the boat, I wanted to walk on this railing. Jacob is good at balancing on walls, but Nanny said it was too far down if I wiped out, so I let her carry me.
The next place we went I saw a big orange thing on the dock. Nanny and I went to check it out.
This is what we found on the dock. The Chesapeake City serpent!
He gave me a ride!
When we got back to the boat I tried to draw a picture of the serpent but it didn’t come out too good. I think I need more colourful markers – right, Greta?
Anyway, we sure are having fun out here. Hope all you guys are having fun too!
