My name is Carley. Stella went home on the bus with me. Everyone wanted to hold and pet her. We only had a few minutes of playtime because we had to go to my brother's baseball game. The game was getting sort of boring so Stella and I walked over to the playground that was nearby. After the game we got a bite to eat at Hamburger's Joes to celebrate the 1st win of the season. Stella and I were pooped by the time we got home. I made Stella a bed and changed into my PJs. Stella had a lot of fun at my house and I had fun with her over.

I’ve traveled with Calvin’s family to San Francisco. I had a horrible ride in his mom’s suitcase, but then they took me out and today, we went to California Academy of Sciences! We rode the MUNI – kind of like a bus, and we spent ALL day there. We watched a 3D bug show, a planetarium show, walked through a rainforest, and checked out the green roof. My favorite part, though, was the Steinhart Aquarium, which is INSIDE the museum. I said hello to some of my cousins, and the security guards thought I might try to jump in with them! Mostly, though, people think it is really funny to see a stingray being a tourist. I’m not sure what we’re doing tomorrow, but will keep you posted! By the way, it is A LOT colder than Wilmington here…

"I took Stan Jr. to Earth Day at Hugh McRae Park on Saturday April 18, 2009. We had lots of fun. We made pet rocks, learned about the environment and played on the jungle gym. I loved the park and the music. Stan Jr. had lots of fun too. That night he had a sleepover at my house. We watched movies, ate popcorn and got to sleep on the top bunk." Xander Age 7
