Finding My Mermaid Magic It was a hot and sunny Friday afternoon in Aruba. There was a Surf for Breast Cancer event going on at the beach and I was asked to surf in it because i’m one of the top surfers in my division. The competition started at 3:30 so I got there early to clean my board and practice with my bestfriends, Venus and Malani. Venus was a short redhead with green eyes and she loved to take pictures on the beach and post them while Malani was more on the shy side.
One of the more memorable activities was when Alex, Dylan, William, Sam, Abbie, Greg, and I went to the Huck the first day. Alex wanted to go sit by the waterfall, so we all walked down to that area. Sam played his music and we all barely talked. It was so peaceful. Montreat is my favorite place in the world.
This summer I had so much fun doing outdoor activities. On a birthday trip to Pigeon Forge, TN, with my family, we did a ropes course, went zip lining, and went rafting. Doing all those activities in one day filled me with excitement and fear at the same time. At the end of the day, I was tired but happy!
Not fifteen feet into their trek back to the launch, the boat motor decided to quit running. This caused my father and Pawpaw John to start tearing the motor apart in the middle of the lake to try and fix the problem. After several hours they were able to get the motor running and make it safely back to the launch. The return trip home went smoothly and they were able to look back on the series of events that happened that day and laugh at their

His success convinced Jensen to skip his senior year and accept a $40,000 bonus to play for the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League. ‘Who knows how long he might have gone,’ George I. Martin said, ‘but what matters is how far he went and that he found a life beyond baseball.” (Ebsco). Also, in 1954, 16 year old, Marilyn Bell, swam across Lake Ontario.
Alabama Trip My mom and and dad told me in December that we were going to Gulf Shores, Alabama to visit my grandparents. Gulf Shores is the southernmost town in Alabama, located on the north coast of the Gulf of Mexico. I have been there twice when I was little. I remember that I collected seashells and went swimming with Boppa in the pool.
We ate Zaxby’s and just chilled for a minute. Once we left Zaxby ’s We got back on the road. Everybody went to sleep again.
As you see I love waterfalls so here is another great spot. This hike is only about 8.5 miles, a little happy-medium.

There I met my grandma and most of my aunts and uncles for the first time. It was a great time until I had to go tot the lake of doom. I went there and all I could remember was the water flowing rapidly, as I went like a cheetah to take a swim. That was a tremendous mistake because I didn't know how to swim at all at the time, so it didn't go well when I went to water that was taller than
The story that made it around the world and back, caused quite the controversy about whether orcas should be putting on shows was the senior SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau. Brancheau was a top SeaWorld orca trainer and people say she was very upbeat about her job, always happy, and loved getting to be a trainer at SeaWorld. Brancheau died in February of 2010 from being pulled into the pool and being forced underwater. This would have been the third death performed by
There were so many salmon that they would follow the other salmon up to the boat, and seemingly wait for their turn to come into the boat. This is an experience that I will never forget. You haven’t had fresh fish until you go out that day and eat what

It is a private lake that me and my grandpa always go fishing at. When I walked down the dock I was so excited. When I got to the end my grandpa was waiting in the water for me getting ready to catch me, my grandma swimming next him shouted out, “One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go.” Then I jumped to my grandpa. I was really scared.
