July 17: At the Beach

I’m mad!! This is Spencer again and I’m mad, ok? Hi anyway, but sorry cause I’m really mad!!!

Know why? Cause I’m all alone on the “gr8t” Ft. Lauderdale beach, that’s why! So I’m going to write this blog this week all alone cause like I’m all alone and everything now. Cause Juliette & Mom & Isabella are all having fun now but not me. I’m stuck in this hotel room. So I have to write this blog on Mom’s laptop. All alone. :{

We are staying in this great hotel and everything. Like Juliette told you last week in the blog, right? But Sunday was Isabella’s birthday and everything else. She is 14 now. But I still like her anyway, even if I’m only 11. So we came to this hotel on Sunday and that was her birthday. We had lots of fun and we all did fun stuff together all the time. We went swimming in our hotel pool. Juliette says it’s a “cool pool!” At least she didn’t say “awesome” again!

Then you know what else we did? We all had a big dinner Sunday for Isabella. It was fun. Lots of fun! We walked on the beach and we all had fun laughing and walking and stuff like that. No one left me alone. It was fun!

Know what else we did this week? We got ice cream and we got pizza and we got more ice cream. We went to our hotel pool like a lot. Like every day. Then we went to the beach sometimes too and that was the best. Cause we played Frisbee on the sand and we ran into the water. Mom even got a sailboat but just a little one. But we all went out sailing in the ocean. No one left me alone!

But now I’m all alone. Cause Mom says the “girls want to go shopping” and stuff. So I should stay here. But I can’t go swimming alone so I have to stay in the room and just like wait. Forever!! I should go swimming anyway but then I’ll get in trouble. So I guess I’ll wait. :(

Know why I’m mad too? Cause everyone acts like I’m some little kid and everything. But I’m 11 now and that’s really old too sometimes. But Mom acts like I’m a kid and Juliette too. And Isabella too and I really don’t like that cause I really like Isabella. She’s nice to me. But I don’t see why she likes these boys at our hotel and everything. Isabella and Juliette are like in love with these boys at our hotel. They are like 15 or whatever. Big wow cause like who cares, right? Why should I care about that? They don’t even live here or anything.

So anyway I’m mad, that’s all. I don’t know why they act like I’m some little kid and everything. I don’t know why Isabella likes these totally geeky dudes and everything!! I’ll still have lots of fun cause we are staying at this hotel for 10 days. So that’s like 4 more days. But right now I’m not having fun. I’m just mad cause I’m all alone!!! Sorry. TTYL!

July 3: Star Spangled Weekend

Pretty funny, right? I mean, “Star Spangled Weekend” and everything. That was my idea, not Spencer’s, by the way. In case my dorky little brother tries to take the credit. Right, Spencer??

Hi, it’s Juliette again. I’m back for another week of blogging. Except this week Spencer told me to write the blog by myself so I’m doing that now. Even though I don’t want my own blog every week or anything. But it was fun to help write Spencer’s blog last week. Anyway, here I am again, blog lovers!

So I know you must be wondering – what do I mean by a “star spangled weekend,” right? Well, I just mean it’s the 4th of July weekend. So like what is more “star spangled” than this holiday? Get it? Because of the national anthem and the star spangled banner and all the patriotic things and whatever.

I just know that Mom’s taking Spencer and me to see the fireworks on the Fort Lauderdale beach.Yay! That’s totally fun to see. I can’t wait! But you know what else? My best friend, Isabella, is coming with us so I know I’ll have fun. A lot more fun than just hanging out with my dorky brother all night. Sorry, Spencer. Haha! You know I love you, right?

We’re all going to the beach before it’s dark outside and we’re going to buy pizza or something like that for dinner. Then we’re going to sit under a pretty palm tree and watch the fireworks blasting in the sky all around us. It’s major major cool because they are so beautiful. I love fireworks in Fort Lauderdale. Then on Saturday, Isabella and I are going to the mall. It’s called the Galleria and it’s so nice and pretty there and they have so many great clothes and shoes and everything else. We’re going to ride the Sun Trolley there, just the two of us. So like it’s kind of like "the girls go shopping," right? Too much fun!

And I think we’re going to get some ice cream at the Galleria and Mom says we can have ice cream for dessert after the fireworks are over too. I mean, ice cream two times in one weekend is pretty great. Don’t you think so? Because Mom doesn’t let us eat too much ice cream or sweet stuff like candy that much. But sometimes she does. Like on this “star spangled weekend” – teehee. I love it!

Oh no. You know what? Spencer is standing here at my computer now and he wants to say hello. Yes, ok, Spencer. So I guess I’ll let him because I mean this is like his blog I guess. So here’s Spencer.

Spencer: Hi everybody! I just want to say hi, that’s all. I’m glad Isabella is going to go see the fireworks with us! That way I don’t have to talk to my sister too much. LOL! So have a good 4th of July and stuff like that. Ok? I hope so! That’s all. TTYL

Juliette: I’m back and I hope you have a good star spangled weekend too. Maybe you’ll see some fireworks like us. Or maybe you’ll go to the mall like Isabella and me. Or maybe you’ll do something else. I just know you’ll have lots of fun if you try. Because Fort Lauderdale might be pretty hot right now in the summer. But it’s still pretty cool too!! Hahaheehee!! Come back next week for another fun blog, ok? Bye!!!
