Day At The Beach

So, I know that this is a few days late, but on Saturday the highschoolers and incoming freshman went to the beach for the day. Holy cow! I had a blast. I caught little sand crab things...dang, was I going crazy. They looked like giant potatoe bugs and were faster than lightning. They'd get washed up with the waves and then when the waves went back, they would dig into the sand, so you had to be really fast and scoop up a handfull of sand where you saw them go and then dig through the sand and find them. It was crazy. And I actually got almost up to my knees in the ocean. Yes, me. I was a bit dissapointed that I couldn't catch the little fish in the river thing. There were a kagillion of them, and I had a few in my hand, but then they would wiggle out before I got a good enough grip to pull them out of the water. Some kid caught one for me with his nifty fish-catching net, but I accidentaly dropped it back into the water. I think he got mad at me, because he wouldn't get me another one, hehe. And then after that I went back to where most of our group was and watched them play beach volleyball. Now that was interesting. I thought Logan and Lacy were going to duke it out right there on the beach...just kidding...kind of :). And while those of us who didn't play watched, I guess Luke's feet were getting hot or something, so he dug this really deep hole, that was about a foot and a half or so wide, for his feet. He would freak out if anyone stepped "past the line" that he drew in the sand. He was worried about the sides caving in or something, but he didn't see Brad throwing handfulls of sand back into the hole while he wasn't watching. But once it was probably three and a half- four feet deep, he got in the hole, on his knees, so it was like almost up to his chest. Everyone was messing around, like pretending to go and push a bunch of sand in the hole and burry him, and then he would freak out. And then there was Brad... while Luke was busy fighting off somebody, Brad goes and pushes the whole pile of dug-up sand back into the hole. Luke lost it. It was pretty funny. He was freaking out because he thought we'd all leave him and stuff, and then he was mad because we couldn't pull him out because the sand was like suctioning to his legs so he's like "Don't pull me out! You'll dislocate my legs!" so he had to dig himself out. Then we went to Burger King for dinner...I think we might have gotten on the nerves of a few other customers there...I don't know why...I mean, we were just 26(I think) teenagers talking, loudly. And then we went to the outlet mall for an hour and walked around, shopped, that kind of stuff. And then we went to another part of the beach and made this REALLY AWESOME bonfire...uhm...nevermind...and so anyway, we all got in a circle and sang some songs and James tried to get us to share some stuff. And then we got back in the buses to go home. We stopped at a McDonalds on the way for a "speedy pee" and while James was gone, Venisa got her Hawk Nelson CD and put it in the player. Heather warned us that James would notice...and he did. He took it out and was like "What's this?" so Venisa told him it was Hawk Nelson and that she really wanted to listen to it. So James is like "Okay, let's take a vote. Raise your hand if you think James cares about the outcome of the stupid vote." Nobody raises their hands, "Okay, now who wants to listen to some other crap?" we all raise our hands. James ignores us and procedes to talk about the origin of the word "crap", so I'm like "Hey James, let's take a vote. Who cares what you're talking about, raise your hand." and so then James is like, "Hey Chelsea, let's take a vote. SHUT UP!" I was laughing my guts out. Overall...great trip. I had WAY too much fun.
