Adventure Ed. Trip

^^^I LOVE YOU GUYS WITH MY WHOLE HEART! I MISS YOU CUTIES!^^^

Last year I took the class Adventure Education. My teachers were Mr. Snelling and Mr. Bergquist. One of the trips we took was to California. We took a train and a few buses down to California. We stayed at Carpinteria Beach, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz Island. We stayed 10 days in California. It was a really fun trip. When we were on the island we saw skunks, foxes, and other little animals. My goal was to see a fox but I was one of the only people to not see one. I was really sad that I saw every other animal except for an island fox. My favorite part was going to the beach and taking over 300 pictures of guys with Megan. When we went to the island in he first place I got sick on the bus and it wasn't fun at all. The trip was really pretty scenery wherever you looked. The train was fun to sleep on but the buses were extremely uncomfortable. I really liked the first day we went on the island because you could go exploring wherever you wanted. Megan and I climbed a giant hill that was really scary. She pushed me on the way down and I slid all the way down the hill that was pretty much a cliff. The next day Megan and I climbed a big hill again and we found the prettiest spot on the island. It was a huge white flat rock over looking crystal blue water and you could see schools of cute little fish swimming in it. We felt like we were on top of the world. You could see Anacapa very well too, and the olive trees, and the canyon we climbed down to get to the beach. One of the hikes we took to the beach we had a to climb down a huge scary canyon and we had to jump really big puddles where some of us fell in the water. We climbed through tunnels and rocks. When we got out of the canyon we found a big old house with an orange tree and we all ate oranges until we got sick. Carrin and I ran to the back of the house and we saw a deck that said "Do Not Go On", so of course Carrin and I jumped the sign and went to the back of the deck where there was a door. I was trying to open the door when Carrin screamed her freaking head off and pointed at my foot. There was a snack crawling right next to my foot and we both screamed and ran to the front. It was extremely scary. We thought that it was a poisonous snake because of the colors but it was just one that looked like it. Throughout the trip on the island we took walks that were miles long. They were usually really windy. When we were walking Mr. Bergquist put us along the way for alone time in far away places. One of the really windy times Mr. B (being his crazy self) put me on top of a cliff behind a boulder that I was pretty sure was going to fall off the cliff and I'd fall to my death, but then I just fell asleep. One of the nights on the Island some other people and I slept on top of a hill. It was pretty cold and Marina's sleeping pad almost flew off the cliff. A couple days later we packed up to leave the island. We got to the dock and we were told that the boat would be late. We finally got on the boat and Mr. Snelling, Mr. Bergquist, Megan, Carrin, Emily, and I sat on top of the boat with two other guys. I became friends with them fast! All together the trip was really fun.
