A Diary Entry from Elizabeth:

Dearest Diary,

So today was father's day I got to go on an airplane for the first time that I remember anyways with my siblings, parents, and nieces, and nephews. Many people look at me strange when I say I have nieces and nephews because how many 6 year old do you see having nieces and nephews. I may be the second youngest in the family but I wouldn't trade being in my wonderful family for anything, as I love my sisters, and brothers. It was awesome to fly holding my youngest niece Rachel a few times during the flight. Rachel is adorable and reminds me of me. When I was her age mom and dad have a lot of pictures. Actually our house is full of pictures of us children. The latest picture we had done was about a week after Rachel was born.

Our enormous family is perfect and I don't care what people say because they are my family and I love them to know end. This vacation is going to be awesome 2 weeks away from rain, drama from mom and dad's work, no nights where mom and dad don't come home, and no fighting with Lexie over the television when I want to watch a movie. I believe that I am going to enjoy this vacation. Spending time with my parents, and siblings is rare because we have our schedules and we never really get to see each other that much. I'm usually doing ballet, or spending time with my best friend Kayla. Kayla has been my best friend since I was in daycare. Kayla is the daughter of Jo, and Uncle Alex Karev.

When we got off the plane tonight we got to our hotel and mom and dad took Luke, Leia, Gail, and Rachel for the night so that my sisters Ellis, Hannah, and my brother in law Roger can spend some quality time together for once. I was able to spend time with my sisters and brothers and brother in law as we ate desert, and then we went to the pool. I loved the pool it reminds me of the community pool I go to with Kayla during the winter months. While we were at the pool Tyler said the funniest thing to Luke about how farts are funny, and how to make then with his hands, and face. I'm glad he didn't know how to explain the arm one because that's gross.

Okay so sometimes my siblings, parents, and I do impressions during dinners. Yesterday it was about how Luke was telling Tyler about how dogs bark. Okay so all that were at the house ended up doing their own bark. I sometimes like to join in on the fun with my brothers but I mostly like to play with my sisters. Yesterday I kind of overheard Lexie talking to Hannah about Lexie's old boyfriend who apparently is now her boyfriend which is confusing maybe it's the one she was engaged to because Wally defiantly wasn't the one for her. I don't know many guys that she has dated maybe it is Ben Lewis I was too little to remember him as I was only 2 when they broke up. I enjoyed the pool when we were done with the pool we went to the hot tub. I enjoyed it as I was with my siblings.

Well I guess that's it from me today I'm goanna relax and fall asleep because tomorrow is going to be fun, and I am going to enjoy fun with my family. Tomorrow should have some more enjoyment but I guess today wasn't that fun.

Sincerely.

Elizabeth Marisa Shepherd,
