my life right now

well, i don't know where to start really, i guess i'll start here:
dad left us all about a week ago to "find himself" (so he tells me with a smerk and a wink) he's going to just about every state in the united states. he'll be gone for about 17 more days. we all miss him very bad. but we all take advantage of his missing and..... VACATION!!!!!!! we go to the beach, just the 4 of us and get reservations to a VERY nice hotel in DOWNTOWN MYRTLE BEACH! only for 3 days though. the first day, we get there about 1:00 in the after noon and since we can't check into the hotel til 4:00, we go over to mom's friends hotel to stay untill 4:00. we put our bathing suits on and run down to the beach. excited to see the beach once again, we run in and ride the HUGE WAVES! jack assures us that the 4 foot waves are NOT big at all because when he was just in costa rica "he saw waves 6 TO 10 FEET HIGH!" I thought they were big. the biggest ones i've ever seen. i don't think i could last a day in the waters of costa rica. i'd probably get carried under and drown. not fun. these waves were just right. i only got carried under like... twice. that's not a lot for me... at all. we came out about 15 minutes later and layed on the beach for about 15 more minutes. we got back into the water untill about 2:00. BBBBBOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!! the loudest thunder i've ever heard. ever. CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! again, more thunder. FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!! the brightest lightning i've ever seen. ever. will and i look at each other and both yell, "GET OUT. NOW!!!" we run through the impossible thick ocean water. we ran and ran and ran. rain came down poring. we gathered our things quickly and ran back up to mom's friends room, dried up and watched the rain come down on the ocean. 4:00 came quickly, we signed in and went out to eat. next day, we sat on the beach. that's all. the third day. we got up. early, packed our stuff, and left, went shopping for school clothes. for a long time. we finaly left at about 3:00 and headed home. the end. that's pretty much all i've done. yep.
