Bucket Head Boy

A really cool rock found at Cocoa Beach Park

Ahh-h-h

Hello everyone,

There are so many senior citizens here so it must be a great place to live. When I was driving around Cocoa Beach (yes, Riley and I went down I dream of Jeannie Lane) I saw many gated subdivisions and lots of golf carts parked on the curb. We had a rough night last night or I should say Riley had a rough night and only wanted Mommy and Daddy. He woke up at 1, 2, and 5 a.m. and I got him at 7 a.m but after a small glass of milk he zonked out until 9:30. My shift was easy. We left the base about 11:00 and ventured down to Cocoa Beach and then further down to Cape Canaveral. When I realized I was so close to Benny's work I called him and he met us at Wendys for lunch. It was time to go back to the base to pick up Sarah. We dropped Riley off at this play group and went to the BX. I have very pretty pink nails thanks to my manicure. Sarah was craving Taco Bell (Heidi did this also) so she ate a quick bite during my pampering. While we were in the store another whopper of a storm blew in and left the streets a bit flooded. The amount of water that falls from the sky is amazing. Good thing they have an ocean to catch the overflow. Sarah and I had a good time even though it's still touch and go with stomach right now, We went to the base gas station and they had run out of gas. I'm told this happens all the time. We went to the pharmacy to get her vitamins but had to go to the other pharmacy at the clinic to get them. All of our errands seemed to be such hard work today but we finally did what we needed to do and picked up Riley from his play group. After supper, Benny, Riley and I walked up to the pier and we saw manatees again! We called Sarah and she drove up to see them. They have seen dolphins (I haven't seen one since I've been here) but this was the first time Sarah had seen the giant sea cows at the pier. Tomorrow Riley and I are going to explore outside the base again. This time we will turn left instead of right when we leave the base.
