Hansel and gretel hit the beach

Standard

It seemed like a good idea to carve this giant arrow into the sand to help us find our way out after a long walk down the beach.

Image

Upon our return, the entire beach looked like the scene below.

Now that I think of it, hansel and gretel had some design flaws in their plan as well.

Tri-cation

Standard

While on summer vacation from school, I went on vacation from that vacation, and headed down under, then went on vacation from that vacation, for a long weekend in prevelly, Western Australia. While there, we stayed in a wonderful holiday surf house and celebrated the 4th of July,  a holiday from my original vacation location. all I know is that I am on vacation.
