GOING HOME!!!



Best day yet, I got to go home!!!!!

I was giving my mom a lot of trouble last night taking my meds in applesauce, so she said I can try and swallow the pills - that worked great so I don't have to taste that "disgusting " applesauce anymore. In fact I will probable never eat applesauce again.

So it took two big Mayflower moving trucks to take all my stuff home - okay not really but I sure had a lot of new stuffed animals and cool toys from so many people who came to visit me.

I stopped by school this afternoon and said hi to all my buddies, and mom and dad let me order my favorite dinner for tonight. Pizza from the Pizza man (Okay so its Papa Johns but we call him Pizza man).

I sure do feel better being at home!

Love ya
Lil' Ben

Ahoy Ben,

Glad you got to jump ship and visit your friends today! Loved seeing all those balloons. I'm suprised they didn't lift your mom right up off the ground.

Are you in the mood for another joke?

Why do pirates always carry a bar of soap?
So, if they're shipwrecked they can wash themselves to shore.

=)
Adios!

Hey Ben,

I'm so glad you came home today and thanks for inviting me over for pizza. I really enjoyed it. Your friends really miss you (and me of course) and they can't wait for you to come back and visit. See you tomorrow! Good night!
I love you.

I'm so glad that you are home now, Ben. I'm sorry that I didn't get to see you at school today, but all of your friends were very excited to see you! I guess that I will have to come see you at your house now. Good job on swallowing your pills, even your daddy can't do that! Love you, big man. See you soon.

ARRHH Me fine Bucko, Good that you are going home. A Pirate needs a home Port in any weather. Ask your Grandma or Grandpa to show you some pictures of the animals in Belize which is where a lot of the Pirates of the Carribean used to hang out.

Howdy there pirate. I'm very glad you got to change ports today. There's no place like home port. Looks like it's a good thing both you and mom were holding those baloons or you might have flown home. lol Love you, Mrs. Rita

So glad to hear you're home, Ben. Hip, hip, hooray! I don't think I've ever seen such a big collection of balloons. I think it's great that you could just take the pills and don't have to eat applesauce ever again. Bet you'll sleep really well tonight at home.

Love to you all,

Megan's mother, Peg

Pirate Ben-
I am so happy for you that you got to jump ship and go home. It's no fun being stranded in a strange place.But all those balloons and pirates probably made it a little homey. I am sure that now that you are home you'll get even more visitors. And my pirate dog (she is blind in one eye, says AAARRRRooo alot and is kind of stinky) wants to know if you have a good pirate dog to snuggle with and guard your booty? If not, she would be happy to help you find one or come out there herself.
Take care, good job swallowing your pills, we are all so proud of you.
Love, Robin

Hey Ben,

Sorry I didn't come to visit yesterday, but I knew you were going to get to go home. I live almost as close to your house as the zoo is to the hospital, so I'll be by to check up on you. Besides it looks like the treasure map leads straight to your house I'm surprised your Mommy didn't ask to borrow my big truck too! Have you ever tried applesauce with cinnamon in it? It is much better that way in case you ever want to give applesauce another try.

Love,

Ms. Amy

Hi Ben,
I just wanted to write and say how proud I am of you for being such a big pirate, and doing such a great job with your treatment. It must be very exciting to be back at home with all your friends and family around. All the animals out here at ACRES have been asking how you are doing, and the goats have been hoping you can come back soon and say hi to them. Im glad to see you are doing so well, and being such a strong guy! You are the most brave person I know! Im thinking about you, and hope to see you soon.

Hi Ben! Great news about being able to go home :) Do you know how to say home in Spanish? You pronounce it KA-SA and spell it CASA.

But that was an easy one. Do you know how to say pirate in Spanish? You pirates are an international bunch, so this will come in handy. You pronounce it PEE-RA-TA and spell it pirata.

Take good care of you Ben and enjoy being back at home sweet home.

Love ya,
Angela

Hola, SeƱor pirata Ben:
I am on a cruise on the south sea with Pippi Longstocking's father, he's a captain of a ship, I am sure you know that, any way, I hope that this bottle with the message got to you and you are reading it. It just to say hi, and let you know that God is watching over you. God bless you and keep you
