Roller Coasters!

My aunt and my uncle and my four cousins were here visiting from Missouri. We decided to go to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure while they were here. I have never really gone on a big roller coaster before because I was not tall enough. I guess I grew since we were there a little while ago, because this time I was finally tall enough to ride the one called Dueling Dragons!!!! My best friend who is my cousin named Emma got me talked into going on it and I was so scared at first. I really wanted to bail while I was in line. We had no line though because we stayed at a resort that gave us quick fast passes. So that didn't give me any time to bail out. But I am very glad that I went on that roller coaster because I LOVED IT!

The roller coaster had the seats underneath the track and it went upside down many times. On one of the loops when you are going up, you can see the other track and the other people's feet. My mom never saw any of that, though, because she never opened her eyes!!!

And something that I did not notice is that it looks like you are going to smash into the castle wall. After that day ended, I couldn't scream at all anymore. And I still can't at full volume!

At Universal, I went on another roller coaster. It is called the Revenge of the Mummy. It was one of my favorite things because it was decorated as Egypt. I loved Egyptian things since we learned about it in school last year. Another thing I learned about is that I LOVED the gift shop at that ride because of the Egyptian things.

The picture on this post is not a roller coaster. It is a Jurassic park boat ride, and yes, I am on that actual boat! My aunt had a feeling and took the picture just as we came down. The last hill was 85 feet tall.

Turtle Eggs

Yes it was turtle eggs! We went to the beach and saw this man digging out the eggs. We went over to see what he was doing. He told us that those eggs are dead because they were not fertilized. He said we get some of those about once a year. He counted them and there were 124 eggs. He put them back in the nest, filled in the hole and took down the turtle nest warning sign.

Look at this! The week before this, we parked right where the red car is. We noticed that the dunes looked very narrow. They have looked that way since a lot of hurricanes a few years ago. Then we went to the beach the next week and this is what happened.



This post that is sunken down was even. It is a fence that keeps people from walking on the dunes. The dunes are so steep though you couldn't really walk on them here.


We had our relatives here last week until today, so we were super busy! I can blog again now though.
