Pictures on Daytona Beach

 Hello, lovely readers!  A few weeks ago, we were in Daytona Beach (as Chrissa mentioned in her last post) and I took many pictures on the beach.  I picked some of my favorites to share with you, as I know that many people are experiencing snow.  

Enjoy!

(P.S. If you want to see any of the pictures larger, just click on it.)

Movies, Swimming and Cousins!

 Hi all!  Can I tell you something funny?  Our cousins, Kit and McKenna, are staying in Daytona Beach too, but we didn't know that each other were here until we saw each other's blog posts!  Since our hotels were not that far apart, our parents arranged for us to meet at the hotel my family is staying at yesterday.

 "Hey, Chrissa!  I haven't seen you in a long time!" Kit greeted me with a hug.

"Defiantly!" I returned the hug.

"So, what do you want to do?" my crazy cousin asked.

 "What about if we made videos, staring us?" I suggested.

"That's a great idea!"

"I'll go get my camera."  We made several awesome videos, but unfortunately blogger would not let us upload them.  :(  After that, we decided to go swimming.

 Elizabeth ...

 ... and McKenna laid on the pool deck.

 With a splash, Kit dove into the deep, blue water.

 I joined her, and we had a race (or two).

 "I think I might join you; that looks like fun." my sister said, pulling off her cover-up.

"Do you want to come in, McKenna?" I asked.

"Not right now."

 Kit, Elizabeth and I swam until our moms told us it was time to head in.

 "Okay, I'm coming." I said, climbing out of the water.

All in all, Elizabeth and I spent a wonderful afternoon making videos and swimming with our cousins.

Do you like making movies with your friends?

An Afternoon on the Beach

 Hello, lovely readers!  After Chrissa and I had finished our schoolwork, and eaten lunch, we decided to spent this afternoon on the beach. 

 First, we spread our towels on the sand like one would spread jelly on bread.  And we talked.  After a little while...

"Hey, I think I'm going to make a sandcastle now." Chrissa said, sitting up.

"I think I will go beach-combing for shells." I replied.

 While she was building her castle of sand, Chrissa enjoyed the view of the beach ...

 ... and decided to kick off her flip-flops.  

 When I returned with shells in hand, my sister and I walked down to the water and cautiously stepped into the cold ocean.

 I snapped a picture of one of the many seagulls flying over the water.

 After we had waded for a while (and getting more than our feet wet), Chrissa and I returned to our hotel room.

 Later, when I saw that the sun was setting, I hastened to take a photo.

Then Chrissa, who was outside as well, grabbed our camera and snapped the above picture.

In Daytona Beach

 Hi all!  After church yesterday afternoon, my family drove up to Daytona Beach for Dad's work for two weeks, but we'll come back on the weekends because it's only a hour drive. Since Elizabeth and I are home-schooled, we just brought our work along.

 The hotel room we're staying in has two bedrooms, one for my sister and I and one for our parents.

 Once in our room, I immediately kicked off my shoes, ...

 ... and flopped on the cushy bed.

 Elizabeth, who had just gone outside on the patio, said that I should see the view.

 In my opinion, there's nothing better than looking out your window and seeing the beach.

When you look out your window, what do you see?
