Every year my church does beach trip. Beach trip is where we go to Sunset Beach and swim through waves and eat chili, clam chowder, hot dogs, and desserts. So my brother James who we haven't seen in a while came and went with us. We left at ten o'clock for our two hour drive. When we got there I ate my lunch of a peanut-butter and honey sandwich. Seeing my best friend Eric I got up and he asked "Do you want a cream soda?". Answering him I said "Yes" and gulped it down while he was telling me about what he had done during the time that I wasn't here. The water was freezing cold when I got in but after a while I sort of got used to it and jumped in. Ahead of me I could see huge waves crashing down on top of the older people. The older people are about thirteen and up because I'm only ten. As I got closer my other friends were yelling at my through the sounds of the waves and telling me not to go with the older people. I ignored them and went anyway. The waves would push me under and I had so much fun. I was crushed by someone who was letting themselves be pushed by the powerful waves. I was diving and flipping in the waves for about thirty minutes until I got out and then Eric and I went away from all the people. I buried Eric into the sand as he said "I wish someone else was here so we could both be buried". Right then Shelby (another friend) came. Eric and I stared at each other and chuckled. She asked "Why are you guys staring at each other?" I asked "Hey Shelby, can you bury me?". She buried me and I found that the feeling of sand all over my body was an amazing feeling until I got out and found the feeling of sand in my pants was not a very good feeling at all. After a while we went back into the water and the crashing waves. We were told how to use the boogie-board and after that we were soaring through the waves of Sunset Beach. When I got out I ate some food and then saw Eric and Michael (an older friend of mine) get baptized. Eric and John (an older friend of mine) buried me again and when I got unburied it was almost time to eat so I quickly got cleaned up from the sand on me in the water and got dressed. I ate my dinner of a bowl of chili a big bowl of chowder two hot dogs and a whole lot of dessert. We sang a few songs and Eric, Brian (my little brother), Jacob (another friend of mine), and I went down to the water and played a game where the person would get a position and try to be the closest without touching the water when it comes up and if you move you're out. After that everyone was packing up and left. And that was a very fun day indeed!
Note to Madeline,
We had lots of fun that day but our fun wasn't complete
Without you. I hope you had a lot of fun in Oregon!
