Our apartments are really cool, here in Miami - the sofa bed is not! It'll have to do now though - i'm not getting into the bed after Emma's been farting in there!

My Mum woke us up this morning at 8.45am to tell us she was cooking breakfast. Emma answered then fell asleep without telling us - and then my Mum rang us again at 9am (thought we were supposed to be on holiday - this is like the army!)

We decided that today we'd take a boat trip around the bay to go 'Movie Star Home' spotting (well, my Mum mentioned it as she was standing over us, as we slept and then when we finally went outside told us it was booked - bless her!). That was booked for 1.30pm.

Before our boat ride, we went to the supermarket and bought loads of food as we planned to have a picnic later in the day.

The ride around the bay was really cool. Nikki got in a mood because i didn't earn enough to buy her one of the houses (I don't earn ANYTHING any more). She told me that 'Its not fair - I deserve to live in one of these houses!'. We did see some land for sale... for $7 million.

Afterwards we looked round Bayside Market Place. Everyone had fun - Emma and Mum had a row, Nikki said she was hungry and Keith bought a hat - it was just like home!

We had our picnic outside our apartments and then sat in Mum and Keith's room chatting. Me and Nikki then went in to the lobby (where we'd found a free Wifi connection - rather than paying for the one the hotel provides) to update the blog. We'd not been able to do it while we were on the boat.

Nikki caught up with EastEnders on the BBC webpage and then we went to bed.

As we were getting to our room, this drunk woman approached us asking 'Have you seen the sand castle? It's all lit up!', so we banged on our apartment door to get Emma and the camera and set off... at about 11.30pm.

Do you think we could find this sand castle..? No! We could not. We walked the wrong way up the beach for about 20 minutes before Nikki and Emma got scared and begged that we go back - so we did. We then saw people taking pictures of something (Nikki thought the flashes were lightning) and wandered over. This sand castle was HUGE, we could've climbed in - but we didn't trust Emma to get too close - someone had spent hours making this.

We took some pictures, walked back to the apartments, where we had a little play in the hammocks, and then decided we'd had enough for one day...

Family... you gotta love 'em!
