New Brighton with Friends!

Last Friday after school my dad picked us up with the trailer and our bikes on the truck. We were heading to Santa Cruz with our friends to camp for Spring break. Unfortunately, Santa Cruz is about 5 hours away. The campground that we wanted to stay at was full so we spent the first night at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park which was nice and fun but NOT on the beach. Luckily, we got a campsite right on the bluffs above the beach the next day.

Finally, we got to go to the beach!!! It was really fun to be there with my sister and my friends. We even made some new friends while playing on the beach. We practiced doing handstands in the water.

...and my sister and my dad built an awesome sandcastle!

I'm not sure our dog was having fun.

We rode our bikes all over the campground.

We also roasted peeps and dyed Easter eggs, because it's almost Easter.

On the last day, my mom and I walked up the beach to see the pier and the concrete boat. We saw some otters playing in the waves, but it was hard to get their picture.

Overall, we had a lot of fun. I hope we can go back there again someday.
