Camping

Dear girls and boys,

Today is Friday, July 12, 2013.  I am sorry I did not write last week, but I was away from home again.  Mr. Prowse, Cruzer, Lucy and I went camping.  We camped at Fort Stevens on the coast.  It was so much fun! 

This trip was Lucy's first camping trip.  She barks a lot at people she doesn't know.  It was also the first time she went to the beach.  She LOVED the beach!  (Do you remember how your voice should sound when a word has all capital letters?)  She and Cruzer ran around, and around, and around!  Poor Lucy got sand in her eyes, but she was having so much fun that she did not let it bother her.  I thought it looked very painful, so I poured water over her face.  She did not like that!

The weather at the beach was very nice.  It was so sunny that I got a sunburn.  At camp there were a lot of mosquitos.  Did you know only the female mosquitos bite people?  Also, there is something about each person that makes mosquitos like to bite some people more than they bite other people.  Mosquitos love to bite me.  I do not love mosquitos.  One mosquito bit me on my forehead and it made half of my forehead very swollen for one whole day.  I looked pretty crazy.  Do mosquitos like to bite you?

Now I am getting ready to go to the beach again with some teacher friends.  Mr. Prowse will stay home this time.  He doesn't think it's fair, but it is a lady teacher only trip.  Ha ha!  ☺  Have you been doing some homework or reading some books?  Remember to practice a little every day so you do not forget all you have learned!  I went to the store today and saw that there are school supplies out already!  I am already getting excited for next year to begin!  I will be coming to peek into your first grade classroom to see how you are doing!  I miss you all.  I hope you are having lots of fun and relaxation!

Love, Mrs. Prowse ☺
