Monster wave day!
August 4th
Well its been a bit of an adventure so far I suppose. It is
so flippen hot! Always! Like the sun isn’t even out half the time but its just so
humid that its hot no matter what.
The first few days I was here the island was supposed to be going
through some sort of “tropical storm”. When they have a tropical storm apparently
it's like a big deal so they name it, you know like how they name big hurricanes
and stuff. So tropical storm Maria only rains and gusts some wind and such. Its
kind of like a normal cloudy day in cardston but blazing hot. And it hardly
cools down at night. My first night here on the island with this supposed
tropical storm; the ceiling fan was going and there was a fan pointing straight
at me and i was still sweating to death! I sleep with a sheet beside me on the
off chance I get a little cold.. really now?.
So Josh is at school most of the time so Hannah and i have
our own little schedule. The girls wake up around 5:30 or 6. They have a
morning nap at 8. That’s when I wake up and Hannah and I watch pretty little
liars until about 10 cuz that’s when they wake up. So we play with them or
whatever till 12 and have lunch. Eden and Fay have their afternoon nap at
around 1. Me and Hannah watch more pretty little liars till they wake up. Then
we go to the beach till like 5 ish. We have supper at around 6 and the girls go
to bed at 6:30.
Sooo ya we watch more pretty little liars haha!
Today the beach was crazy! The waves were sooo big! I
couldn’t stay out for very long. The waves throw you under and roll
you around and the salt water gets all up in your sinuses and down your
throat and in your eyes! It kills!
Especially in your nose, it’s the worst! And as soon as you stand up
again and try to recover, another pounds down on you. Ya we got rocked!.
Its crazy how helpless you can feel. And
when i’d try to run back to the beach its more dangerous if you get caught a bit shallower because the waves are crashing
against the sand so it wipes you out and tosses you around in the sand.
The whole thing can just kind of suck in a fun way haha! But anyways ya so I got destroyed
today pretty much.
