Dear Journal,

Today after school I had the opportunity to spend most of the day at the Oceanside Park. To get to the actual park you have to go down the water zip line thats located at the top of the mountain. I climbed up the palm tree, pulled the rope and then flew down the mountain! Then when I was over nothing but the ocean water I dropped! From there I rode the back of a specially trained dolphin who swam me to the shore. When I reached the beach I decided to go to the glass pool. Its built over the ocean so you can see all the fish in their natural habitat. After swimming I went and relaxed at the spa. It was an awesome day!!!

Dear Journal,

This was such a fun day!!! I woke up at 7:00 feeling relaxed and ready to take on a new day!!!  It was my turn to work at the aquarium, so after I got ready, I headed on over there. I love working with the sea turtles and dolphins!  After feeding all the fish and other ocean animals I headed over to the dolphin ring.  The dolphin ring is a place where residents and visitors of the island can come and spend some time swimming with our beautiful dolphins.  My job as the instructor is to help make sure everyone is safe and has a fun time! It is so fun to watch the little kids play with the dolphins. Watching them always makes me smile!  After work I went home and invited some friends over to eat dinner and than talk.  We had such a fun time cooking food and conversing about the fun things we had been doing lately!  This has been a great day!

Dear Journal,

At 5:30 this morning I walked out to the beach and watched the sun rise as the waves rolled up against my feet. I got some fresh coconut from the coconut trees and then took a jog down the beach. I went to school and learned how to scuba dive. Then by noon me and my friends went sponging (AKA Boogie Boarding). While we were sponging we saw some sea turtles, jellyfish and dolphins. At 6pm we went to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack and ate some lobster, crab and salmon! YUM! Then at about 7pm the sun began to set so we grabbed our cameras and tried to capture that perfect moment! It was a perfect way to end the day!
