MEET MARCO

the story of me

Washin’ the Car

I learned how to do a new thing today: wash the car!  What a fun thing to do! I picked my favorite car washing sponge (it was on a stick) and I scrubbed and scrubbed! Once the car was nice and scrubbed, I rinsed it off with water from the hose.  I am a big fan of squirting things with the hose, so this was right up my alley. Now.. Read More

A Zoo Trip with Carter

Today I went to the zoo with my buddy Carter.  I was shy most of the time, and made Mom and Dad carry me a lot.  They were not happy about that.  I also got really scared when the polar bear jumped into the pool and swam right into the glass where I was standing! Mom loved it, but it made me cry. Carter and I got a little silly.. Read More

Home Again, Home Again

After a week in California, it was time to say goodbye and go back home.  It was so great to see Nanny, Pappi, Abuelo, Aunt Jenna, Uncle Zak, and a lot of our friends as well.  However, I’ll be happy to be home, see Xabi and Shay, and play with all my toys.  We enjoyed our Alaska Airlines flight, and look forward to next year’s trip to Wave Crest!

Sunny Weather in Del Mar

Near the end of our trip, the weather got sunny and warm.  There was not a cloud in the sky!  Mom and Dad made me wear my swim gear, even though I didn’t really want to.  We went to the beach, and I was coaxed into the water.  I then realized that playing in the surf is SO MUCH FUN! I loved to run away from the waves as they.. Read More

Powerhouse Park

Powerhouse Park is right on the beach in Del Mar.  There is a fun playground with swings! In case the entire beach isn’t enough, there is a sandbox at the park! Dad and I had fun playing on the structure and pretending it was an airplane. There is one tree that is perfect for climbing.  I tried to go very high, but Mom said I was too little! What fun..

Hanging out at Wave Crest

We love going to the shore and the park, but there is still a lot to do at our home in Wave Crest!  Each morning, I got to read stories… …and we would all have bagels for breakfast! YUM! Uncle Rob and Aunt Kathie came over one day to visit.  We had fun relaxing and talking, and I played dominoes with Aunt Jenna! One day, we all played Sequence. I.. Read More

Walks on the Beach

Every day, the family went beach combing.  Beach combing is when you walk down the beach and look for things like shells, rocks, and sea glass.  I got to go in a wagon.  I really loved riding along the shore.  Sometimes I got out and walked… …but mostly I’d ride the wagon and point out the treasures I wanted to keep. Now with all this wagon riding, I would often.. Read More

Fun at the Park

Seagrove Park is right next to Wave Crest, and it is the perfect place to play soccer! I definitely scored a lot of goals on Abuelo. He’s a good goalkeeper, but no match for a super striker like me! I had a little ball I played with in the park as well.  All that running around sure does wear a kid out! I had fun in the park every day.. Read More

Off to Del Mar!

It is time for our beach vacation in Del Mar, California!  I was so excited to spend time with Abuelo, Aunt Jenna, and Uncle Zak! I also was ready for some rest and relaxation on the beach. One of the first things we saw once we got to our home away from home, Wave Crest, was a pair of ducks! I called them Mr. Mallard and Quack.  They seem to.. Read More

A Visit with Nanny and Pappi

We flew down to California for some vacation time!  Our first stop was Nanny and Pappi’s house.  We stayed there for two nights.  It was very sunny, so I had to wear my sunglasses! I enjoyed some of my usual activities there, including playing soccer and sweeping. I spent some time playing with Nanny’s teddy bear collection, and tried my hand at feeding the birds some peanuts. Mostly, it was.. Read More
