Day Tripping: Torrey Pines State Beach

-
Yesterday we took a road trip to San  Diego to visit my little cousins and my aunt and we went to the beach! We got to the beach at around 1:00 PM. We got out of the car and we took our shoes off because my mom and I were both wearing sneakers and we did not want to get them wet or sandy. The beach this particular day was pretty rocky, so I would recommend bringing shoes or at least flip-flops with you if you're visiting here.  Maybe we should have a flip-flop/sneaker emergency kit in our car now that we are homeschooling.

Anyhow, one of my favorite things at the beach were all the pretty (yet painful) rocks. Every time the waves would wash over the rocks the rocks would scatter to make a new picture. Like the ocean was painting. I would scramble to get that rock that caught my eye before the wave washed over it. I ended up getting my pants quite wet and my feet trampled but in the end I got some beautiful rocks.

The Wind Caves at Torrey Pine state Beach
Another cool thing I got to see was some cliffsand wind caves. If you are unfamiliar with wind caves they are caves that are created when wind is consistently blowing on a rock surface and it starts to form holes which then turn into little caves. sadly they were up really high on a cliff but they were still really pretty to look at.

I really enjoyed spending time with my family and going to the beach. I would really recommend going to Torrey Pines State Beach. Its so beautiful and there is a lot of fun things to do there.

The beach we went to was Torrey Pines State Beach.

Day Tripping: Sea Lion Reacue. Oceans and Animals

On our first day of homeschooling we went to our moms work. As we are driving home my mom remembers about a rescue for sea lions. The rescue was called friends of the sea lions, at the Pacfic Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach . After a while we were parked in the parking lot of the sea lion rescue. We had not been there for a year or two when we first went with some friends. We enter the sea lion rescue. We see a gigantic whale bone right when we walk up. We find the cutest sea lions in the WORLD. All of them were so very cute. Some of the people that work there lead us up a small staircase. From the top we look over the edge and see a huge sea lion with a few gashes on his body. We all felt so bad for the poor sea lion. We walk down the staircase and they show us something very sad. It was a big jar filled with all of the fishing hooks and weights that were on the big sea lions body when they found him. All of the sea lions there had injuries and wounds. There was one sea lion that...

Anybody need a hair donation?

-
yesterday I thought "My hair is really long." Then my mom says "You are getting a trim on Thursday." I have always gotten trims for a long time. I wanted to get a hair cut. After I did a little bit of research on donating hair I go up to my mom and say "Can you measure my hair for me?" She takes out a ruler and does it. After she says " Twelve inches" I tell my mom I only need eight inches of hair to donate my hair." Later that day when my dad was home at dinner I said the word chop. My mom says " Paige you have a question for dad about chopping something." I respond confused "I do?" Immediately I say "Oh I forgot I do!" " Daddy are you okay with me donating my hair for people with cancer so then they will have wigs to wear?" Dad responds with "well it's for a good cause." So tomorrow I am going to only have four inches of hair. Lots of things can happen when you homeschool!
