Labor Day!

It was so nice to spend yesterday with my family. I had an extra long weekend because we did not have school Friday but Monday morning Terina and I got up and made breakfast, watched one of her new favorite shows My Friends Tigger and Pooh and then played around waiting for Kasala to wake up. We decided that we should go to the beach early before all the students woke up and went so by 10am we were out the door to the beach. Every beach we drove by was completely packed! There were so many people who had camped the night before and then also some of the clubs from BYU were having activities too. We finally decided that it was going to be a crowded beach or no beach so we parked, unloaded and were off. It felt like the hottest day ever... or at least the hottest since we have been here and the water was nice a cool. It felt great! About 10 minutes after being in the water Terina and I were stung by some stinky little jelly fish. They were seriously everywhere! I had never seen so many jelly fish at the beach!! But we kept playing anyways. We also, for the first time, saw turtles in the water! At first I thought it was just drift wood but then they started poking their heads out of the water. The waves were really big and I didn't want to take Terina to close to them but we stood on shore and watched the turtles. They stayed around for quite a while. We stayed at the beach only long enough to get more tan lines and a little burn then headed home. We spent the rest of the afternoon inside playing games, reading books, and cleaning. Overall it was a really relaxing day and as soon as I find the camera cord I'll post some pictures. Oh... can you tell we're working on using "colorful words" in my 3rd grade class to help the reader "paint mind pictures"? :)
