Day 5 (Friday) - Hard and Yummy (Zoey) and a bit about Shabbat

This was in the five minutes that I was there at the ranger program

This morning when we woke up, we drove up to Sand Beach. The water was FREEZING. We went to a ranger program. It was okay. But after 5 minutes, Yadin and I got bored so we left to play in the sand. In the end I really wanted to go into the water, so I just jumped in. I ran from the sand and just jumped all my body in. It was freezing and I ran out. Then we climbed on the rocks and then we went home.

Climbing up blah blah blah mountain

I ate Wacky Mac for lunch. After a couple hours, we went on a hike. The hike was really hard. It was called blah blah blah mountain. I don't remember the name. (Editor's note: Champlain Mountain). There was this woman that told us there was a ton of blueberries next to us on our way up. So me and Yadin started picking and picking and picking blueberries. So then Abba made a rule: Abba's not allowed to pass us. And if he does, we don't get ice cream after the hike. Mommy asked me if I like the hike and I told her it was hard and yummy. She said that's going to be the title of your blog entry.

Must find more blueberries. Me love blueberries.

Every time Abba got close to us we ran away and said "the monster is coming." We were picking and running, picking and running. There was this one bush with tons of blueberries. We call it the bush. Rakia also really wanted blueberries so Abba and Mommy stopped to get her some, so that's how we had time to pick up tons of blueberries. Afterwards I gave some of mine to Anan to try because I told him it was so yummy. From now on, Anan eats blueberries and says they're really yummy.

On the way home we stopped for ice cream. I got Candy Shoppe flavor. Candy Shoppe is with all kinds of candy in it: M&M's, Reeses' Pieces, chocolate chips. We went home and ate Shabbat dinner.

Take a close look at my face. The monster
is coming! Must run!

On Shabbat morning we filled up the house with a ton of balloons before Abba woke up and surprised him. He turned 41. We went on a walk with Marshall and Lisa and Dalia and Micah. We skipped lots of rocks. My record is 5. Then we went back home to eat lunch and after lunch we went to the swimming hole. It was really fun. Me and Yadin and Anan did a puzzle of Acadia on Shabbat.

Then we went to an island. the island was really cool. You could walk to it at low tide. Yadin found a starfish. A half-starfish, missing two of its arms?/legs? We're not sure what you call them. I picked it up and brought it to show it to Abba. Then I put it back in the ocean. Then we went back home, and then after havdalah, I went with Mommy shopping to get some presents for my friends, for Shira and the baby. Good night!
