Back In Time

This week my cousins are coming over not my favorite cousins but my cousins. I haven't seen them since last time i saw them was last summer in Myrtle beach. I'll try to make the best of it, the biggest problem will probably be where everyone sleeps. My dad got a call from our aunt saying we need to hide the chocolate from Theresa. They both eat a lot of junk in Myrtle beach, they ate so many ice pops and cookies it wasn't even funny. Hopefully they are more mature now until then this will be my last post of today.

Looking For Life Part 2

On our second visit to the beach, we saw even more life then before. It was an active day. Fish were jumping, the wind was blowing. We had bought a net the day before at the pool store. It wasn’t the best net ever, but it still worked. It was a thin wood dowel with a small net on the end. We went into the water to try to catch some sand fish and small silver fish. We didn’t have much luck, dad caught a baby stingray but he let it go. With no fish in our bucket, “aquarium,” as my sister calls it, we decided to go for a walk. As we walked, we saw fish flipping out of the water and groups of the tiny green and silver fish. There must have been thousands, millions! Our dad caught two of them. Marcella kept holding them out of the water, and they died……. As we kept walking there was a huge stingray that passed by us, and I freaked out. We all got out of the water and kept walking. We kept walking until we saw this shadow in the water. It passed by and dad told us it was a sand shark. It was pretty cool. It was about 1 ¼ long. We also saw dolphins jumping and fish getting tangled up in something. I saw two spots in the water that I thought were stingrays but they were crabs, scary crabs. We saw more of those little fish, and my dad tried catching them again. Conclusion: He broke the dowel to the net. Dad had sun poisoning and the rest of us were tired, so we decided to go back to our stuff. Dad and I spotted a stingray or a crab trying to catch a fish.

I spotted a group of people and we headed over to see what was going on. They were huddled around a bunch of turtle eggs. The eggs had already hatched. Dad went to go get the camera and the marine people there were testing to see why some didn’t hatch. Someone told me 132 of them hatched. I looked in one of the eggs that had already hatched, and there was a dead turtle in it so 131 had a chance. We walked back to our stuff and some people said they saw a 3ft long stingray. I went into the water with Marcella’s goggles to look for fish. I found some of the sand fish and silver fish. They like to nibble on your feet, so tons of them came over to my feet and nibbled on them. Then too many came and I kicked them all away. They came back and their big friend came to. Their friend felt like it was a good 2ft long. I kicked it away and went to shore. I had 2 jellyfish stings. Marcella had caught some fish. I had caught 4, and she brought back 2 hermit crabs. I went back in to see some more fish and I got stung again so I was done for the day. Dad kept getting bit by flies and James kept hitting the fish in the bucket. We were all ready to go so we headed out and said good bye to Gulf shores.

Looking For Life Part 1

At the beach your familiar with most fish, in Alabama the beach's are full of life from fish to crabs there all alive there are sand fish silver and yellow fish, stingrays all sorts of stuff. Small crabs big crabs all sort of sizes, my sister Marcella and I tried to catch them but the little ones were really fast. All of us got stung by jellyfish except my brother James, after we got stung we took a brea from the water and built castles we saw a 7-10 inch catfish. It kept getting washed in to shore by the surf Marcella grabbed it but then freaked out and let it go it kept coming back but we could'nt catch it. We found all sorts of shells and rocks, then I picked up a brown rock, It was squishy? I squeezed it and it got stuck to me?! It was'nt a rock it was oil it was sticky I showed dad and he assured me that it was oil. We left soon after we went to the pool and the camp store is there to so we stopped in there to look for a net we found a good one and bought it hopefully we will catch something tommorow!

Sandy Feet

This evening we walked to the beach, a 20 minute walk. When we got there I noticed Alabama didn't have any big waves, but I did ride some on our new Boogie board. I built some stuff out of sand and my little three year old brother knocked all the stuff I made over, so I went back into the water with my sister, Marcella. We saw all these little fish that bit our feet, we tried to catch them but they were too fast. My sister got stung by a jelly fish and my little brother had to pee on her leg, it was nasty.........for her........but it made it feel better. Then we walked back to the R.V. It was fun at the beach and I was sad to leave, but I was hungry so I was kind of glad to go!

State campgrounds and there joy

So far my favorite campground was the "Rickwood Caverns" campground it had well caverns. A huge pool with one 2ft tall diving boad and a 11ft tall high dive it had a great playground it was clean the people were nice. hope to see it again soon so i can dive off the high dive again.

Alabama life

It starts with a simple visit to space camp, then you move on to the caverns, before you know it your jumping off a high dive into a huge pool. Next you head to a battleship memorial. Then a nice Alabama beach. After that, you settle down and make yourself a blog!
