So I'm sitting here on my couch-bed at 12:30am(florida time) in Jared and Laura's house and writing this post. I was actually waiting for everybody to get out of my "bedroom" because they were all talking. So I turned on my computer, thinking that they wouldn't leave very soon and they ended up leaving before the computer was 100% on. But why let it go to waste, right? (they left because I was starting to set up my bed....hehehehehe)
Anyway....Florida is awesome!! It was really hot and muggy when we got here but we either got used to it or it cooled down. But we went to some really cool places.
We went to the everglade Alligator farm. That was pretty awesome. I took some good pictures, but like before, I can't find my cord to transfer the pictures. We learned some amazing things. We took an air boat ride and it was loud! Even with the plugs on! At one point when we were going really fast I tried to ask Alex if he was having fun-I couldn't even hear myself! (I'm sorry I ramble on...even on the computer).
We also went that same day to Coral Castle. It was so extraordinary and amazing. This guy named Edward Leedskalnin, who by the way was 5 feet tall and weighed 100 lbs(around there), moved HUGE blocks of coral - don't know where from - to where it is now. Not only did he move them BY himself, but he carved them too. He made a lot of amazing things. He had chairs, beds, rocking chairs, a REALLY small bathtub, and More! He carved Mars, Saturn and the moon. He carved a little crib for a baby, and tables. That's not all, but I won't go on. Pictures later!
The beach was awesome and SO much fun...till we had to leave because cleaning up was horrible. But the water was the perfect temperature, hardly any waves - not good for boogyboarding, but excellent for kids and swimming. We got buried in sand and and made sand castles. I found a really cool see shell. There were several schools of fish which was fascinating to see. I tried to catch one...didn't work out so well. They're fast!!
And the reason I'm able to do all these amazing things is because I have Open High School of Utah. It's an online charter school. Mom was able to call in and we requested that I have no deadlines for the trip at all. They said that was fine and Wha la! that's why I can write this...not that anybody reads this anyway.
That's all for now! Can you believe I'm actually caught up?...I take that back. I still have to put pictures on.
