My dad and I were definitely still on pacific last night and didn't get to bed until like 3:30! But its all good I woke up early and had a pretty great day :) I started it off by taking a traditional trip to Hannafords, the local grocery store where we bought tons of fruit to cancel out all the candy and chips we have been eating. Then I went to the beach with my dad and we threw a frisbee around for awhile, which is always nice and we went and got sandwiches at a little shop. Then I went to the local art show to see what was going on, which was really not too exciting. Then it was time for the Strawberry Shortcake social/Illumination Night celebration with the Ocean Park Band. My grandpa bought me a strawberry shortcake, it was nice. Then people went over to Sea Grove, one of the other family houses in Ocean Park to eat lobster and celebrate my Uncle Bobby's birthday. Now I am heading over there again to listen to his top 50 favorite songs, because he is turning 50!
I also called my Grandpa who is on my mom's side of the family who turned 83 today! He is going to meet me in Europe later in December after my school session finishes.
Lastly, the highlight of the day, I got skype working with my mom from San Diego to Maine, it really works! We had a nice talk and I got to see my dog bailey :)
Now I am going to look around the nieghborhood at the Illumination Night lights! Sorry for the super long post today hah.
p.s. Mom, that first picture is what the upside tomato plant is supposed to look like!!!
Song of the DayI listened to a lot of this album today and I like their sound, its really unique!

Okay - that is NOT a real hanging tomato! That is a fake plant - obviously! I think you should definetly go see the group called Flaming Lips - just because of their name! Skype was really fun!
