The WET WORLD

We have landed in Manila, Philippines. It is hot!!!!

We went to Manila Ocean Park. We brought a Filipino friend with us, Penny. She had never been to the aquarium and it was a treat for all of us. We even got to touch a starfish. There were stingrays, sharks and eels. They also had these glowing cubes that you can sit on that change color. I want one of them. They had a fish spa for 120 pesos. People had their feet groomed by fish. It sounded cool but we didn’t do it.

Love,
Adriana

KEEPSAKES KICK!!!!

Congratulations to the Keepsakes team! They did wonderful and finished the season undefeated with only one tie. Daddy has been coaching the team for five seasons now but this is a new record. Alayna and Alexie were on the team this year. They both managed to score some goals. Grandpa, Mommy, and Mrs. Criselda were the assistant coaches. We will miss the girls. (For those not familiar with this splendid team, it is a 3-5th grade girls’ soccer team. The soccer games are organized by Optimist Soccer. My Dad sponsored the team through this side, just-for-fun business where he draws black and white pencil portraits.)

Annalise’s team, the red team also did well. Mommy coached them and Alexie was the assistant coach.

Love,

Adriana

Moving

I’ve never moved before. I will miss my family and friends. Two years is a long time. In two years, I will be 13 and most of all, I will be different. I am glad that we have a place to live in, in the Philippines. We are blessed to be able to live above a bakery. We think the smell will be great.

Love,
Alexie

Last, but not Least, Alayna

My name is Alayna. I am 8. I played soccer. We had our last game Tuesday.

I like to ride my bike. I like to play outside. I like to color. I like to go to friends' houses.

My favorite foods are ice cream, cookies, cake, and sugar.

I just finished 3rd grade in April.

My favorite color is teal. My favorite animals are monkeys, ducks, dogs, and horses.

I look forward to going to the Philippines because I can be with the friends I made there and I can bathe at the waterfall.

Sincerely,
Alayna
