Dear Maria,

       I am having fun with my grandma and grandpa at the beach.  We have been doing a lot of things.  We made sand castles, rode our bikes and flew kites on the beach.  One day, we had a picnic and a seagul took a chip right out of my hand! I'm having a good time, but I miss you.  I can't wait to ride bikes with you when I get back.
