It is fun living here in Marblehead. We went to the Maritime Festival in Salem where I got to hold a real live starfish. It was really soft and kind of squishy and slimy. We also saw a live one in the harbor when we were sitting on the dock by the lighthouse looking down into the water, and it was white. It buried itself under the sand, I could see it digging down. And I saw a huge white shrimp. I also got to touch a flounder and a lot of small crabs. I held the crabs and got pinched by one but it didn’t really hurt because it didn’t get me too good. I made a kite at the festival, too and we got to fly it on Derby Wharf while we were waiting to make wooden sailboats. We got to go on The Friendship which is a huge sailboat and see where the crew sleeps. I also got to go on a paddle board. Mom was scared I was going to fall off into the harbor but I did great and really want one of my own now. I stood up on it and never fell.
We also took a trip to Harvard, which is a university near Boston. We saw a lot of old buildings and walked around. Mommy and I went into a bookstore and I got to pick a book. I picked “Boy” by Roald Dahl. I haven’t started reading it yet because I have so much more to read yet. The bookstore was huge and was really cool.
