Neighbors With An Alligator

Jealous anyone?

Hello folks,
I'm back, and better then ever. So in this post I'm going to be talking about my
Beautiful Enthusiastic Amazing Cool Happy vacation!
Also known as THE BEACH VACATION.
I had a lot fun, except for the moments where I went underwater for a long period of time and my eyes stung.
My fault by the way... I wasn't acting very smart. I won't go into details, but my cousin Eva and I went out a little deeper then we were suppose to ( On accident of course)
and couldn't touch. Out there, were the HUGE waves.
Not saying I was freaking out or anything... Ok ok! I was a little bit!
There was a big wave and the only way Eva and I could get out of it, was by swimming, which also meant sacrificing are breathing for like ten seconds! Alas, we saved ourselves with our death-defying skills (that, and the fact the wave got smaller when it came over to us was also helpful.)
That's a little more dramatic then it actually was by the way, but still! It was scary at the time, but now I'm just like " Wow! That was awesome!" Eva and I had a buddy system, because we weren't allowed to go into the deep water alone. We stuck together, except for one time while we were sitting and the tide pulled us apart. I had to run to rescue her... but that's a story for another time(:

Next, I want to tell you about my neighbor Patrick, who was an alligator. We had a lake in are backyard and ever so often, we saw Patrick swimming close to our deck! It was super cool! And at the same time a little scary. "Ahh! My neighbor is an Alligator!"
So... yeah, mixed feelings.

Meet Patrick, great animal, good with kids

Then there was the horrible hurricane, Hurricane Micheal! We had to leave a day early to escape it! It was hard to leave early, but when I saw how hard it rained the next day, back in Charlotte, I was glad not to be on the coast anymore.

The vacation was so fun! My mom loved taking pictures of me when I wasn't looking. When I saw them, I remembered how beautiful the ocean is, but also noticed how windblown my hair was, no seriously... the wind was so crazy it felt like the sand was stinging my legs. Sometimes, it was hard to see.
Family trips are always fun, am I right?

This is my model shot.

Sometimes I wonder why I was itching my head in the middle of a big wave.
Can anyone tell me?
