Our Evening at the Beach

 The other night my family and I went to the beach.



The shade of the sky was gorgeous, and it made the water a lovely color.

We went for a walk, and along the way, we found some sand art.

The ocean was absolutely freezing, so I didn't swim.

I had a wonderful time. 

(And sorry for the weird spacing between the pictures. I tried to fix it but couldn't.) 

Randomness

Sorry for no posts. Be prepared for a post full of randomness now! =)

Today I babysat with American Heritage Girls.There was a little boy that kept running around, hugging us all. He was so funny; we asked him if he had washed his hands after using the rest room, and he goes up to Kryn and says, "Yeah, see?" then he proceeds to wipe his (wet) hands all over her arm. It was so funny!

So I thought that swim team was over (and I was rejoicing), but it's not (I'm sobbing). I was screaming when I heard this (probably literally). I hurt my back swimming (so I got to skip doing butterfly because I thought that's what caused it), but it's getting better. I think I'm going tomorrow; depends on whether or not Kryn goes.

 The other day we went on YouTube and watched a ton of Tim Hawkins movies (he's a Christian comedian). In some of them he talked about mothers, and Andy and I thought he sometimes described our mom PERFECTLY.  =) Oh, and this is totally off-topic (I told ya, I'm random!), but Jonny Diaz's song Fool For Love is DA BOMB. I thought it was talking about being in love with a girl, and I didn't know if I wanted to buy it or not, but it's actually talking about how he would do anything for God, which is better. So...I bought it. It's GREAT.

Oh, I got a flute! Yesterday we went to a flute concert both of my flute teachers (from band) were in. It was pretty good; I like playing the flute, but concert-type music (like some of the songs they had there) are really my favorite thing to listen to. Even so, the flute players did well.

 Hope the rest of your summer goes well! I can't believe it's almost over. Of course, here in Florida, summer isn't over until late November/December. If you live in Florida, 70 degree weather is cool to you. Seriously, a long time ago I was chatting with Kryn on Gmail, and it was somewhere around 70 degrees out - or above - and I was like, "It's cold here!"

That was a long time ago.

A few years ago, it's gotten cold (it was actually cold that time =), but last year it wasn't really cold. It was a nice temperature, though.

Be AWESOME and follow my blog. Comment, too! I am going to (try to) post more. Remember, if any of you know how to make a blog button, email me at elwshootingstar[at]gmail[dot]com

THANK YOU. 

I'm no butterfly

I will save you from hearing my complaints about swim team and just say that I am utterly exhausted. We got a new coach. Let me tell ya, if I thought Zach was hard on us, I hadn't seen anything yet.

I don't get butterfly. When I hear the word buttefly, I think of a graceful creature, fluttering through the air. I am no butterfly. I have not ever been graceful. I don't do butterfly (the stroke) - I do some strange movement that makes it look like I'm drowning. And it's amazing I don't drown.

 I am not joking when I say that I am super tired. Like I was so tired I could barely lift my spoon tonight at dinner. I didn't up wearing my silly swim cap tonight - BIG mistake. I won't do that again.

And I said more than I told you I would.

And that's all I'll say on this.

And I use the word and too much. 

I love to photograph...

Oh, does anyone know how to make a blog button? I can't figure it out. I can design it and stuff - but I don't know how to get the code and everything. I used PowerPoint to design it....

If anyone knows how to make one, please comment! (Do that anyway =)
