Assignment #6

For Spring break this year my volleyball team went to Hawaii. We fund-raised all year by doing bottle drives, car washes, barbecues, and etc. We had a lot of fun hiking, playing beach volleyball, shopping, and spending time with one another. It was a great trip and I'm glad we were able to go.
I chose this picture because during this trip I spent a lot of time with my good friend Simmy. This is a photo of us just before diving under the water snorkeling to see all the fishes in the coral. It was a neat experience and I'm glad I was able to share it with her. She was terrified of the fish swimming beneath her and we weren't allowed to step on the coral so it was a bit difficult at first. We were trying so hard to not do anything to hurt the fish that we occasionally forgot to breathe. When this happens you freak out and try to breathe through your mouth, by doing this you inhale so much salt water. It was pretty gross.
After trying our best to not give up, we eventually gave in and sat on the beach building sandcastles with a 3 yr old. As we built the sandcastle random chickens and roosters walked along the beach going through people's things. It was very different to see them just chilling on the beach.
I'm so glad we were able to take this trip together with a wonderful group of girls. It was a lot of fun and I hope one day we can take a trip like this again. It was a neat experience and it was a great way to spend my Spring-break.
