Beach Vacation


 
The beach is one of my favorite places in the world. It is warm, entertaining, and different. When I'm at the beach I am never bored and always having a good time. For this first blog post I want to talk about the beach and what it means to me. 

                Every summer my grandma rents a house and my family takes a vacation to the beach. My parents, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma, and I all pile into a house for the week. There are eight kids, including me, and seven adults. Each year we pick a different beach to stay at but we have a good time no matter where we are at. The first day is extremely hectic. My five younger cousins and two little sisters all run around the house screaming for which room they want until the parents finally calm them down. We get everything put away and then head to the beach. The first thing I do is head for the water and of course all of the younger kids follow me. We swim in the ocean for hours until we have to break for lunch. I go back up to the house to get cleaned up and then eat a boat load of food. As soon as possible I head back out to the beach. Next we go on a walk down the beach. When I was little my dad taught me how to find sharks teeth at the beach and by now my whole family has taken it up. We spend our walks looking at the ground and competing to see who can find the biggest or the most teeth. My family will also play any game you can think of. Baseball, corn hole, football, or games we just make up.  After it starts to get dark we will go up to make dinner or go out to eat. Every day goes pretty much like the first but it never gets boring.

I have loved the beach for as long as I can remember. One of my first memories is digging in the sand and finding my first sharks tooth. My favorite thing about the beach is getting to spend time with and have fun with my family. I think the beach is amazing and that is why I have decided to write my blog about anything and everything that has to do with the beach.
