'I'm going to tell our adventures just like they're happening right now,'
Suzanne said.
'That's fine with me,' I said.
These are the stories told to me by Suzanne and Roger. I'm writing them down using the same words as Suzanne and Roger as we sat on the beach at Three Palms.

Dad's vacation and we're going to Snug Harbor.
We load Snow White-that's the name of our sailboat, you know-with suitcases and boxes of food. We take our special toys and lots of other things for a long stay. When we are all ready, we cast off.
When we're far enough away from the slip, Dad hoists the sail. The breeze fills the sail and we head out to sea.
Roger and I sit with Dad at the helm to steer and Mother goes below to make sandwiches. We all wear life jackets. That just makes good sense, like wearing seat belts when you're riding in a car.
The sea is gentle and we're moving right along. Roger is looking out to sea as Dad and I talk.
