Sand Dollar Island

When we go out on the beach we are always looking for seashells but what we really want to find is a whole sand dollar. We never find full sand dollars out on the beach so last year when we went to the beach these people told us about this place you could go to and find sand dollars. Well we went last year and found a few, but thats when we named the place sand dollar island. This place is were you go out on a little trail and then once you get there you wade around in the water and there is a ton of life. There is sting rays, crabs, horseshoe crabs, horseshoes, little fish, sand dollars, and some other weird stuff. You have to wear shoes in the water because of all the life. When we go we always bring a big bucket and nets. I always like sand dollar hunting, you just look for sand dollars and if they are dead you can keep them but if they are alive you put them back, thats just what we do but some people keep the live ones. I can tell them apart because if you look at the bottom of a sand dollar and there is fuz, then it is live. But if there is no fuzz it is dead. Here is how we got so many. The first time we went on Hunters Birthday and we found 9, we were proud of our sand dollar finding. The next time we went we started of slow but we ended up with about 35 sand dollars! We got around 45 sand dollars in all now it is really a sand dollar island!

Hunters Birthday

Hunters birthday was while we were at the beach and we kept telling him we did not get him a present but then we surprised him with 15 beyblades, a beyblade stadium, and also a beyblade chamber, a beyblade chamber is something you put your beyblade in and it takes it apart then you can switch up the pieces and put it back in to make a beyblade. Hunter had been asking for beyblades and he was so excited when he opened up his present. We also made him a chocolate cake with chocolate icing, to much chocolate! Hunter loved his presents and his cake so much.

Cape San Blas

I love Cape San Blas so much, I was so excited when I found out we would be going very soon after school got out. Last time we went to the beach we stayed at Barrier Dunes where there is a bunch of condos people rent out. We stayed in Barrier Dunes this time again and I love it there. There is a pool and 3 ponds boardwalks that go out to the beach and I just love it there so much it is such a quiet and fun I never want to leave the beach.

Rosa Parks

For a school project I had to pick a famous alabamian to dress up as and memorize a speech about the person. I picked Rosa Parks because I knew she would be easy to research. We did wax museum, which is were you stand still in a pose and wait till someone comes up to you and then you say your little speech. This was graded, but I was not there the day everybody got graded, I assume I got a good grade on it though because I got an A in Alabama History.

Easter

Before Easter my mom made me and my sisters some beautiful dresses. We had so much fun on Easter dying eggs, hiding eggs, finding eggs, but we had the most fun celebrating Jesus.
