Thoughts of a homeschooled girl

This is all of the entries that I made in my journal on our vacation. It took me a while to write about it but here they are:

9/18/09

Today is the beginning of our vacation. Our rental house is on Mustang Island. This morning I woke up at about 1:00 A.M. and I was planning to get up at 6:00 A.M. It was hard to go back to seep. Finally I did. Its 7:19 and we are at the rental house. I am going to eat dinner and then I will tell more.

Later

Okay. I ate dinner. To continue: After I got up, I helped make breakfast. We finally left at 7:30 A.M. During the drive there, Drew and I played travel brainquest, travel magnetic games, (we were traveling) Travels bingo, cards and a couple other games. For lunch, we at a burger joint called Wall Bangers. They had huge delicious burgers. After we got here in the afternoon, we went shopping, during which I did not get anything.

9/19/09

It is 8:49 A.M. and I just finished breakfast. I miss my cat Oreo a lot. Drew is reading us a world book of records.  Today we are going to the beach, which I will right about later.  

Later

At the Padre National Seashore, Drew, Nick and dad found a bunch of sanddollers. For some reason I could not find any. After lunch at Jason’s Deli, we went to the local beach near our rental house. There we found plenty of crabs.

9/20/09

This morning we went to the padre National Seashore again. I found three sanddollers. Two of which I put back because they were too small. In the evening, we decided to go the local beach but not go swimming because tomorrow we are leaving and we do not want to have a bunch of wet swimming suits and towels to take care of. Nick and Lisa found a bunch of clams for me to put in the ditch that I dug with the hoe, which we found, abandoned on the beach. We went home because it was dark and everyone was being eaten alive by mosquitoes. Right before we left, Nick was bringing in some more clams and one of them opened up and a ‘clam bug’ crawled out. It was sooo funny.

9/21/09

Today we are leaving.  We ate granola for breakfast. After we finish packing, we are going to the botanical gardens before we leave. I will tell about it after we go.

Later

We went to the botanical gardens. It was very hot. For the first part, everyone was there. Then Mom, Lisa and Naomi left because it was too hot for them. Then Dad left to go back to the car too. I got many good pictures.

Even Later

When I got home, Oreo was so mad that she started biting me. Now she is being nicer. Poor Thing! Here is a list if the things that I got.

Fish bookmark

Plastic seagull

Grab bag

Seashells

Sanddoller with sand

Two rattle snake eggs

I wanted to leave a comment, not a hoofprint. But, I could not, so here is my hoofprint . . .

That is kind of scary to bring home to rattlesnake eggs. Have they hatched yet?

They haven't hatched cause they aren't real but I wish they were. They are just really strong magnets.

That's all

P.S. When you leave a hoofprint it is a fancy way of leaving a comment but it is the exact same.
