Dear Auntie Carla, I hope you are well. Mommy and Dana send you their best wishes. Thank you very much for having me to stay. I really enjoyed my visit. I loved going to Fort Shirley and seeing the old buildings. I told Mommy and Dana about the time we went swimming, and had a beach picnic. I think we were really lucky to see dolphins. We went back to school yesterday. I have a new teacher this year. She is very nice. How are Jason and Leah? Do they like their new school? I hope they can come and stay with us during the Christmas holidays.
