Madelyn is curious every month when it's a full moon and if the mood has a special name. She noticed the clock and Mom and Dad's had the moon completely filled in.

Madelyn: Is it a full moon?
Dad: Is it completely filled in?
Madelyn: Yeah.
Dad: Then it should be.
Madelyn: I wonder what the full moon will be called if it is a full moon.
Alyson: A circle moon.
Me: Not every full moon has a special name.

Madelyn really wanted to go to the "Dinosaurs: The Exhibition" at Broadway at the Beach. She actually really loved it. There was a dinosaur that was about waist high for her. You're allowed to touch the dinosaurs as long as you don't put your hands in their mouths or pull on them.

Me: What don't you give it a hug?
Madelyn, trying: I would, but I can't reach!

We went to an all-you-can-eat Calabash seafood buffet for dinner tonight.

Madelyn: Every time we leave here I'm stuffed.
Tony: Well, it is an all-you-can-eat buffet. If you're not full when you leave, you're doing it wrong.

While we were out kayaking today, there was a trolling boat with outriggers going by a bit away. When I told Madelyn what it was, she very seriously told me, "Nope, that's a pirate ship!"

Vacations confuse everyone.

Me: Hand me your phone so I can add you to the August Charity Miles team.
Madelyn: But it's not August yet.
Tony: Yes it is.
Madelyn: Oh.
