T:	What had a long weekend!  What did you do over the weekend?
Caroline:	I, last night, I went to the ice sculptures with Mommy and Daddy.  I got to go down an ice sculpture slide.
Nathaniel:	I played a game of Rails and Sails.  It is the grown-up version of Ticket to Ride.  One game I played with Theo, and one game I played without Theo because the second time that I was playing he was in his room resting.  He is kind of sick.
Gwen:	I went to Legoland with Grandma Gerri.  I saw Sophie and Ben!  Sophie and Ben were supposed to come to Legoland but they didn’t have any time.  I caught the basketball!  Ben used a tennis ball and the tennis ball got me right on the nose and I started crying.  I went behind the chair.  I found Mickey and Minnie Mouse stuffies.  When it was time for bed, I crawled under the queen-sized bed with Karen.  Karen, I called on the phone before Mom.  Karen had to hang up because she had another phone call.
Daniel:	I went to a cabin with my dad!  I took some showers!  I forget what else.
Griffin:	Yesterday, I was at home.  I was walking downstairs.  At Christmas, Gianna saw a big picture of a bar for Christmas.  The bar was right in the middle of the chalkboard.  She does gymnastics.  My brother got a skateboard and a boutique hotel with fourteen bags.  I got a monster truck.
