I went on a trip to Florida for two weeks. I flew alone on a plane for the first time since I was a baby. It was cool but kind of frightening too. It was fun taking off and landing because you felt like you were going so fast. There was this girl who was my age sitting next to me the whole time and she wouldn't stop hitting my face with stickers while I tried to sleep. Finally,  I flew into Orlando and Aunt Amanda and my cousin Brandon were there to pick me up. We tried to shop for my rollerblades while we were in Orlando but couldn't find what we were looking for. Then Aunt Amanda drove us back to her house in West Palm Beach. I unpacked and then Brandon and I played video games and then went to bed.

The next day Aunt Amanda took me to Sports Authority to buy my rollerblades. I also bought a warranty with it. We rollerbladed all day at her house and hunted for lizards. I caught three lizards and Grampa Hector said in his spanish accent, "You should let them go". I let two go but one kept staying on me. When we went to the zoo, the lizard stayed on me even when we waited for a bus at the bus stop. Then the bus stopped at Publix, which is like Price Chopper here, and we went inside to wait for the next bus because it was airconditioned. Then I couldn't find my lizard and Brandon was helping me look for him all over Publix. Then I asked  Brandon to see if he was on my back. My lizard was on my back the whole time I was searching frantically for him all over the store!

So Grampa took us to the zoo and the front of the zoo had a bunch of trees that looked molded together with loop-de-loops and huge tree trunks outside where the people waited. When I went near the trees, I could  see hundreds of other kinds of different lizards all over the trees and stuff. Then Grampa Hector said in his spanish accent, "You should let him go here, he would like it here at the zoo." But even if I tried to let him go, he wanted to be with me, so I let him stay on my shoulder the whole time in the zoo. Grampa bought us jello while we were at the zoo, which I liked. It was HOT and there were sprayers that sprayed mist so that people could cool off. There were a bunch of fountains in the front when you first come into the zoo. I kept taking pictures of huge lizards and iguanas that  were running free in the zoo. I saw so many animals like toucans, ostriches, tigers, bears, alligators and a bunch of other ones. Then Aunt Amanda picked us up and  Grampa left her house on his bike because he lives close to her. That night we went to the Kingdom Hall with Aunt Amanda.

The first time Aunt Amanda took us to the beach it was kind of cold and windy but we went in anyway. The waves weren't that big but I did get seawater in my mouth and I threw up in the ocean. Brandon and I played a game to see who could sit and not be taken down by the waves. The second time we went to the beach it was hot and crowded and I threw up like twenty time because of the water getting in my mouth. I kept spitting in the ocean and it was red, but I didn't eat anything red and I don't think it was blood either.

Aunt Amanda took us to a roller rink and she even went rollerblading with us too. It was  fun. There were so many people who didn't know how to stop though, and they were out of control. Brandon fell once because a girl grabbed onto him. Whenever  one of us would get ahead of the other, we'd  wait until the other one caught up so we could blade together again. It was really fun.

Then I found out that my flight was getting changed and that I was going to be staying in Florida for another week. That's because my Bella and Aunt Peggy wanted to spend the week with Brandon and me. Aunt Amanda drove us partway to meet up with Bella, at a Mickey D's (that's what Grampa Hector calls Mc Donald's). When we came out from using the bathroom there, we saw a huge lizard with a head as big as a baseball. Brandon was kind of scared and I tried to catch him. My lizard was in his little cage that I bought for him at the time.

Then Bella came and she was happy to see us. She smiles alot and she has black hair and is short and thin. She took us to her house which is huge and has nice furniture, nice EVERYTHING. She has a nice inground pool which mom said she used to take me swimming in alot when I was a baby (she used to live with Bella). We were thinking about going swimming but it wasn't really hot enough. Bella took us out to dinner at an Italian restaurant and I had spaghetti and meatballs. I don't remember what  Brandon and Bella had to eat. Then she took us out to eat ice cream and the place was empty. Probably because the ice cream there tastes like ICY CRAP. It sucked. When we got back to Bella's I threw out my ice cream. It sucked.

Bella's tv's had no cable. What good is a big tv like hers if it doesn't get cable stations? But Brandon and I did find something good to watch. There was America's Funniest Home Videos and that guy Ty from Extreme Home MakeOver was on there. At least there was that to watch.

The next day Bella took us to meet Peggy and we all went to the Zoo (I think it was in Melbourne). It was better than the other zoo. It had everything the other zoo had and more. It had more animals like rhinos and also a Dinosaur exhibit.  We dug for fossils and my fossils are with Brandon right now. We ate Dippin' Dots at the zoo. It was hot out.

Peggy took Brandon and me to her house after the zoo. Dad would really like Peggy's house because it's even bigger than Bella's and because it's so spacious. There are hardly any walls, it's very open with tile floors downstairs and hardwood floors upstairs.  Her house is huge and I don't think I have ever been in a nicer house that wasn't a hotel or something. We had so much fun in Florida. I got a tan and lost my glasses in the ocean. Mom wasn't very happy about that. My Gramma bought me new ones when I got back.
