Dear Diary,

My family and I went camping over the weekend. It was the last weekend before my parents had to go back to work, so they wanted to have one last family outing together. Mommy’s twin sister Jayla and her family came too, so I got to play with my cousins Quince and Clementine all weekend! Grandpa didn’t come though because he doesn’t like camping very much.

Dear Diary,

Today I played at the park with my friends Zayda, Yuki, Clementine, and Quince. Clem and Quin are my cousins, but they are my friends too! 

We all play pirate a lot at the playground, but I like playing aliens at the spaceship playground more. One time I met a cool girl named Eloise there. She has the best alien costume ever. It looks very real. The spaceship is too far to walk to though, so I don’t get to go there very much.
