By the time we got everything sorted out it was late at night and we had to set up camp. While scouring the beach for any more survivors, we managed to find a large piece of wood, a tarp, some netting, and a box. Because I couldn't help much, due to my broken arm I had to let Tyson, Elizabeth, and my Dad set up a shelter. They managed to find two trees that were close to each other and put the piece of wood in between them. Then they took the tarp, draped it over the wood, and placed rocks on both ends of the tarp to hold it down. Following that they broke down the box we found and laid it under the tarp as a makeshift floor to our shelter. To stay warm my Dad made a fire by taking two sticks, and rubbing them together over kindling that we found in the island's forest. After starting the fire it was very late at night, and we were all exhausted from the day's events. We managed to squeeze all four of us under the small tarp tent and before I knew it I fell asleep with the sound of the crackling fire in my ear. …show more content…
I quickly got up making sure to not use my right arm and realized that I was the last one out of bed. I looked around for anyone else out of bed and saw Tyson and Elizabeth passing a coconut between them on the beach side. Intrigued as to how they found a coconut I speedily made my way over to them, excited with the prospect of, food and water. As I approached them they said hello to me, and asked how my sleep was. I told them that it was okay, except for my broken arm. After, they asked me if I wanted to play pass with them, I agreed, forgetting to ask where they got the coconut. We played pass with that one coconut for at least an hour, eventually starting to even make up our own games. After playing for a while my Dad came out of the forest and asked for help to collect coconuts. We happily agreed and headed off into the vegetated forest to help
We hit a down hill point so we grabbed drift wood. It would save man power and be faster to sled down. The rest helped Landon out the most because he was the smallest so he didn 't have energy left to use. But this refreshed him so we could keep going. Time was not on are side. The only thing keeping us alive was the fact that if we got out we would be the first ones ever to make it out not dead. It was about the hottest point in the day now and we had to find shade or we would get to dehydrated and die. We drank all the water we had just to fine out that we had a under ground stream below
People rode on top of inflatable beach toys, rubber rafts and even air mattresses. They swam through the rising waters to safety. Others simply waded through the water on foot. They filled plastic trash bags with their belongings to keep them dry.
So we headed back up to camp with our flashlights tight in our hand. When we made it up we all went to bed, the parents slept in a cabin and all five kids slept in a large tent besides my little sister who begged to sleep with my mom and
Upon seeing my flightless wiry, they took me to a doctor to have me partake in an x-ray. During the wait at the doctor’s office, my parents didn’t believe it was broken. It was bent and I couldn’t move it, but they still didn’t believe it. Jokingly, they started placing bets of the condition of my arm. The doctor finally took me to an x-ray machine.
There I stand on the Atlantic Ocean beach in Daytona, Florida. It’s 7:49 A.M, June 28, 2015. I feel my size ten feet sink into the frosty sand. With my board in my left arm, and sand covering my body, I seize my direction towards the blue ocean. As I halt at the base of the monumental ocean, I gaze in both directions, not a life in sight. I feel at peace, solitude, in my own meager world. As the crisp ocean mist wipes my sand replete face, I bounce into the ocean with my board under my body, cruising into the profound blue sea.
The first thing I heard was Virginia Beach vacation, and then in excitement I ran and got my stuff and started to pack. The part I was most excited about was that the hotel is a beachfront hotel room.I was so excited because I love the beach and I really wanted to go back to the beachfront hotel and stay there. I went there when I was in second grade. I have gotten to go there a few times since second grade, but I did not get to stay there overnight.

My whole childhood, my family has met my great-grandparents for holidays. In my great-grandparents yard, they have huge trees that all of the grand kids get in trouble climbing. Easter 2003, my cousins and I were doing just what we had been told not to do numerous times and snuck into the biggest tree in the yard. Just as well, all got up there and thought we had accomplished not getting caught in that tree, as one of us looks up, a snake is looking at us. Everyone jumped down as fast as they could, but I’ve always been very clumsy and not very athletic.
I race down the mountain that has been covered with a thick blanket of snow with my dad at my side. I stop, and I see a large freestyle terrain course coming up. "Keep straight, Dad," I holler. "I want to go on the trick course." I ski down and wait for Dad.
This summer I traveled to Orange Beach. And why I went because I was going to play in the world series. And I almost got to go skiing. And my mom, dad, mawmaw, and two of my cousins and my brother. And we got to the qualifying round and we came in 3rd place. It happend on June26 - 31. And we saw dolphins. And I saw a shark. And me and my brother caught some fish. And I stayed in a condo. And I didn't see any jellyfish. But I caught some sandfleas. And some crabs. And I saw some boats. And I saw people parasaling. And I eat some good good. But I saw some people patrolling the roads. And I saw some chopped food. And when I saw the shark I started
We didn’t have a basement, so in inclement weather our home was not the place to be. As we’d done many times before, my brothers and I each grabbed our backpacks, loaded a few of our favorite things into them, and set them by the door. All of a sudden my parents burst in through the front door, both shouting loudly. Before anything could be done or anyone knew what they were shouting about, we heard a loud POP!
The very next day My uncle john came over, he was gonna go camping with us. He had packed a tent for me, my sister and himself. Mom and dad already had there tent so he my
My counselor gave us big water jugs to carry to our campsite he warned us that they were very heavy before we walked to our campsite. Our walk was not that far when we got to our yurt we set our things down and claimed which bunk would be ours we each got two bunks to ourselves. Next, we went outside our yurt and were giving crew jobs to do. I was on Kitchen crew for the first night so I and the kitchen crew was busy cooking over the fire. After dinner and we cleaned up. My group decided we wanted to play hide and go seek. When we were there we had no idea at all what time it was so we all went to bed when we were tired. The next morning we went to the “ Barn” which has a rope climbing course it is very cool briefly, we all were tired and decided to go back to our yurt. The girls were talking inside their yurt. Us girls decided to try to fit everyone in the top bunk and get a picture we did that and one girl fell off the top bunk it was very exciting and fun. Soon it was dinner and we did the job that we were assigned to. We played games until we fell
As I lay on the minute golden grains of sand, I looked up at the brilliant sky, adorned with flashes of pink and orange and purple, mirroring the colours of a flawless seasoned apricot. The goddess-like sun’s face is being embraced by the demure navy fingertips of the skyline.
I use any excuse to walk along the ocean, especially alone and without my phone. The wind blew cold air, but the sun’s warm rays kept my body at a perfect temperature. It was three in the afternoon and I was calm.
