We were driving to Costco and I was explaining to the kids about how certain parts of your body feel different (Lungs are like sponges and kinda heavy, gall bladders are light, etc) and AJ asked "Dad, how much does a soul weigh?" - I wasn't ready for that!
And Taylor is back to write her update!
Hi this is Taylor! I have a LOT to talk about!
So, here is the story. When I woke up at 5:42 A.M, Mom and Dad said, "It is time to get on your clothes so lets get going!'' After that Aj and I raced upstairs to get on our clothes. Then we set off to the Airport! After the bag check, we got Mexican food and waited for our flight. Then they called our number! As we found our seats, I started to do the homework that I was going to miss. Easy.
After that, I grabbed my 3DS and played Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I saw there was a new animal in Alaska (my town) and his name is Rudy, but get this: he put his new home in FRONT of MY house! I can not believe it! He dared to put his house in front of mine! Seriously!? I am the mayor. After I got over that I went to meet him. He turns out to be a cat. Yay, I love cats!
After doing a lot of work, the plane started to land. It turns out that we landed in an outdoor Airport! Cool! After TONS of pictures, we went to get our rental car, but Pops, our grandpa, had to walk to get it. Once he picked up the car, we hopped in. Then we went to our condo. Aj and I picked a couch to sleep on in the night. I chose the big one and Aj got the little one. After putting on sunscreen and bathing suits, we went to go to the beach. We got in the water but there is so much salt and it got in our eyes. Ow! We saw some fish the color of sand and there was a whole school of them! They were right at the shoreline so we did not need to get in the water to see them! We also found some friends too!
The next day we ate at a delicious restaurant for breakfast. Then we bought some snorkels and toys from Target! I decided I would go snorkling in the water. I did not see much but some magma on the ocean floor. When I got deeper, I found a fish swimming by some sponge coral! Cool! Then as I headed back I saw another one of the same fish in front of me! Whoa! as I swam back to shore it was getting late and we ate at the Canoe House for dinner. After that we went to the shoreline again and saw a giant turtle in the sand! Also we were standing on rocks and saw a shark fin bobbling up and down in the water. This was scary!
The next day we swam with dolphins and got to feed them fish and also they were put in aquariums with other fish too! I even saw some of the grey fish in the sand just like the ones I saw at the beach! The next day we went to crescent beach and got to snorkel more! Also, we struck treasure at crescent beach! We swam to the edge of the beach and there was about 10 different species of fish there! Some of them were yellow Tangs! we saw some bright fish swimming by rocks we were standing on! Meme, my grandma, described it as an ''Under water aquarium '' There were many other days and adventures but this is all for today!
Oh, by the way, at the hotel near the coast, there was a koi pond! I could even feed the koi! I was scared of a yellow and black one that I named hornet. They were so neat, I got to stick my finger in the water and they would gently nibble on me! It tickled but I wouldn't let Hornet suck on my finger, he seemed hungry.
Bye, signing off, Taylor!
