Y In The Middle Of The Lane

Day 1 Basically, we traveled for an hour and a half to the campground. We set up camp, ate dinner, said hi to the friends we were camping with, then part of my family went to see the ocean, and then went to bed. My feet froze. Day 2 I woke up after a cold, uncomfortable, sleep deprived night. It was seven or eight in the morning, I don't remember. We roasted bagel over the campfire and ate them with cream cheese. Yum. Then me, my dad, and two of my brothers walked down to the Smith River to take a look. When we got back from the river . . . I can't remember exactly what we did after that, but soon after we got in the car and drove about fifteen miles to the beach. You'll see some photographs of the river and beach here . We went to two different beaches, had lunch, saw crabs, squirrels and birds , then went back to camp. Mom made this really awesome dutch oven dinner, then we visited with our friends until late. We went to bed. I wore socks this time. My feet still...

My family is going coming to day, when my dad is done with work. Its going to be camping in the Redwoods and going to the beach. I charged the battery on my camera and an going to empty my card. I'm going to take lots of pictures. :D We'll be getting back Wednesday afternoon.

Heh, I was looking, and I realized I didn't show any of the "Ocean". The whole point of going to the beach, really. So I will remedy that. :) Sorry, there's no sound to this video. I used a digital camera video mode, and it didn't have a microphone, I guess.

Yesterday I went to the beach with my family. We left at 7:00 am and got home at 10:00 pm. The beach is two hours away from our house. I used the time to work on my story in a paper notebook, but somehow it only got to a page. When we got to the beach, it was bright and sunny. It was prefect. I brought the camera and I snapped 181 pictures and one silent video. :) I shall now show you some of my work. This girl was merrily playing in the sand with either a sister or friend. I decided to take her picture. She jumped up just as I snapped the shot. I found this cool rock crevice on the beach, so i decided to explore it. It had logs, seaweed-like moss stuff and "windows". What is that? The answer is, I don't know. While we were building sandcastle and digging moats, this little guy decided to co...

So, here's the haps on the beach. First, I had a good time. Second, there was some whales. But they were too faraway to take a picture of them and very brief. We basically sat and watched the beach. Mother said other people might think we were a little crazy. But we were happy clams on the beach. Later, to get out of the sun, we moved back to a tree farther off the beach. It had a bunch of long strong grass stems. So I plucked some and braided them together. Behold, the fruit of my labor. I plucked some flowers, too. Then my oh-so-manly brothers wanted to now how to braid. So I reluctantly showed them. I also modeled it on my brother. Yes, it was nice. All and all a good day.

We're going to the beach. We like the beach. And it's whale migration season. So we might see some. Whooop! Got the camera already to go. I might show you some picture when I get back. Ciao!
