earthquake! there was an earthquake. it was pretty wild. i saw things move. i was in the bedroom getting ready for naps. i was bouncing around the room, goofing off. things started to go all crazy. mom came running back and was about to tell me off for making so much noise in dana's house but changed her mind and started shouting- earthquake! instead. she grabbed me and we just rushed into the other room to find dana. and then it was all over. the house rattled and shook but no real damage. a plate fell over in dana's fancy stuff cabinet as did mom's toothbrush. that's it.
uncle rickie called just to make sure it was a real earthquake. he was digging holes at work and was not totally convince he and his team mates didn't cause the whole thing.
i still managed to get my nap in. i was pretty tired. mom took me on one of her forced marches this morning. we walked down old country club road- a mile there and a mile back. phew.
after the walk we went home and got dana. she drove us down to oxford. we went to the boatyard but not to swim. dana has boat work to do. i got to go up the ladder on to the boat. it was very cool. kind of scary on the ladder but i handled it well. i went down inside the boat and looked around. there's a kitchen in there and a couple beds. looks like a nice place, kind of like a house but smaller. then we went back on deck and mom took some pictures of me. mom and i left dana to work.
mom drove me into oxford. went went to the town park. i had a quick go on the slide. there were a couple boys there playing so i kind of joined them in a run around. we all played on the wooden train for a few minutes. the boys had to go then i had the whole place to myself. mom and i went down to the little beach. i splashed in the water and played with my sandtoys. it was a fun 2hrs. mom brought snacks so before we left i ate a banana and a granola bar. man i'm starving.
i got cleaned off and it was back in the car. mom drove us back to the boatyard. she talked to dana for a minute and then off we went, back home. that was my morning.
