Sea School day 5- the end

Our mosaic

Today was Friday, so we got to ride in the car. We went to Jerry’s, which is a grocery store. It’s like Kroger, but smaller and with a restaurant that serves awesome breakfast. They have wonderful pancakes and cinnamon French toast. Then I got to sea school, and we almost immediately got into our surf groups. I am on the Pink Tsunamis. (Whoosh, puts hand in water and swirls around) We were having a surf race, so everybody was serious. We were going to win this. Yes, Maddie, I was on the pink team, so do your little ha-ha-Zada’s-on-the-pink-team-tee-hee-hee. Look, I didn’t pick team colors. And the only reason I consented to wear pink face paint and not wear black or red or orange was because I don’t like supporting other teams that we were going to hopefully demolish. We were disappointed when we tied for first place, but then we had the tie breaker. Now we were determined that the Black-Tipped Dolphins would NOT beat us. We were not disappointed this time. Ecstatically, we jumped around in the water, and then I cut my foot open. Then we went back for lunch. After patching up my foot, and lunch, we went to another beach and played Capture the Fish for a while. We then proceeded to go to the Community Center for milk, cookies, and a slideshow. Our mosaic was also awesome. It was half blue, half red, and it showed two dolphins, and they were homoeothermic. We grabbed our beanbag fish and my parents and I went to the Island Cow. I got macaroni and cheese. Then we got the Tan Turtle, a huge cup with an even huger head of whipped cream. I had to give up.

Adios.

What a stellar week it sounds like you had!! If you ever want to canoe, yours truly is an expert... Was captain of the all-hallowed war canoe team back at camp when I was in high school. Oh, I've also been sucked underwater by a riptide and had my face dragged along the shell encrusted bottom of the sea floor once in Galveston too. Ripped my favorite ray-ban sunglasses off my head to boot; I guess Posidon decided he had to have them and opted to take them by force. Jerk. Anyway, I'm thrilled Sea Camp was a great time, and I look forward to your next summer installments!!

I have been wanting to cut my hair for a while now but I couldn't because then my hair wouldn't go up in a bun for my ballet classes. But when the last ballet class was over on Wednesday I finally got my hair cut. I decided to donate my hair to Locks of Love. They make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to illness. There were more than 15 inches to donate. Here is the "before" picture: Here is the "after" picture: I did not expect my hair to be as short as my grandma's dachshund. It feels wierd to have short hair again.

July 4, 2008 Last night, we went to bed early, but my parents woke me up at 11:00 PM! We drove to Dallas in the rental car, known as the “dork mobile”. (My family called our rental car that.) We hated that giant, maroon, Californian car. Anyways, I got SO tired that I fell asleep on the duffle bag. If you want MY advice, never fall asleep on a duffle bag, especially if it is filled with hiking boots. If you want to be comfortable, that’s good advice. When we got to Dallas, we returned the Dork Mobile and went to the airport to get on the plane “United”. That flight was VERY exciting! First, there was a mechanical issue, then there was a medical issue and the plane was like a bouncy, covered roller coaster, meaning lots of turbulence. The views were incredible! We flew over southern Utah and saw Lake Powell and hundreds of canyons. I also saw mountains with snow stil...

July 22, 2008 We got into a moving gondola and were lifted off the ground and saw sheep and a luge ride tracks and trees and everything else you can imagine that would be on a mountain. When we got to the top I made a delicious mess of a popsicle/ice cream. Then me and my dad got on a ski-lift, helmets on, one pair of eyes closed. You can guess who that was, right? Correct! Me! We (me and my dad) got our instructions and were off. Before the first bend, I ran into the gravel and the lady had to run over and help me out. After that, the rest went pretty smoothly. After that, we went to Puzzling world. Am I holding up this building? We (again me and my dad) went into the maze and then into the illusion room with a golf ball that ran up, a room where I shrank, and staring dead people. We took videos, pictures and other things and then took to our campground. July 23, 2008 We drove to 4 waterfalls and found giant trouts and numerous pretty rocks. We went over a swing bridge to the “Blue Po...
