early saturday morning

Saturday I woke up at 4:00 am. I got up at 5:00 and surfed the web till 6:00. At that point I thought, "What am I doing? I need to DO somthing!" I went in my bedroom to get dressed for a bike ride but there was Ellie on our floor "wide eyed and bushy tailed" as my mom used to say. She was smiling at me so big and whispered, "Where are you going?" I couldn't resist! I put away my bike shorts and asked her if she wanted to sneak out and go the the beach. We took yogurt, granola and berries and ate breakfast, played soccer and pet a fish a guy caught and then watched him take out the hook and throw it back. When we got back home Justin and Cody were still sleeping which was so "CRAZY!" according to Ellie.


The sand cats (what are they called?) finishing up smoothing out the sand.
