...And Crash Goes the Kite!

We took our parafoil kite that our friends gave us out to the beach today because we thought the wind was strong. We did get it up but then...just take a look at these pictures:

This is a picture of the kite. It's a nice 2' x by 2' . The tail is super long. Our friends gave it to us on my younger brother's birthday so he likes to tell everyone that it's his.

This is my Dad and my younger brother on the beach flying the kite. That looks nice.

I took a lot more pictures but all of them show me or my family up close so I can't show them. I also made a video of the kite doing big loops then crashing but Blogger says that there was an error so I can't upload it. But belive me, it crashed. Anyway, I'll see if I can post more tomorrow! Bye!

Update!

Well, my Grandpa and I are getting over a cold or fever or something. I'm feeling pretty good today but I still have rustling in my lungs. My Grandpa is not feeling well. He jokingly said,"I came all the way up here just to feel horrible!" He'll be here untill Saturday and is enjoying it even though he feels kinda' sick. He thinks he probably picked it up on the plane.

Today my Lolo, Lola, and Tita (that's grandpa, grandma, and aunt in the Tagolog--or Philippine--language) came up to visit for the day. Unfortunately, it was overcast on the Cape. Here are some pictures of what it looked like today.

This is a picture of the house from the beach. You can only see the roof beyond the deck because it sits protected behind the sand dune.

This is a view from the deck stairs looking out at the ocean. I thought it was cool. It looks like a picture postcard to me, no? Okay, nevermind.

These waves don't look big but for Cape Cod, they're HUGE! Usually, the waves here are the size of ripples that form when you throw a rock.

You wouldn't belive how long I was squating on the beach snapping pictures just to get this one! I wanted to get a picture of a big wave cresting but every time I thought I had it, it crashed. Anyway, I got one!

Here's a video of the waves. They still don't look big. But, belive me, they're big!

Here are some pictures from the other day when it was sunny and nice.

Doesn't that look like classic Cape Cod?

My brothers and I playing at sunset. I'm the one in black.

This is what the house looks like on a sunny day. I think it's nice.

Well, that's all I have for now! I have to go get some more wood for the fireplace so, talk to you later!

We're back!!!

We came to this beach house, opened the door, and saw a huge basket of AMERICAN junkfood. Then, as our friend instructed, we walked straight through the house, out the back door, up the stairs, across the wooden patio, and onto the beach! It was beautiful! It was sunset and the waves were lapping gently. We looked to the left and it was all sand out to the big jeti. We looked to the right and all it was was beach houses lining the long sandy beach. Can you imaging that? We said to ourselves,"Now this is the kind of sand that we like to see!"

No one could sleep last night because it was freezing. Everyone is jetlagged except for me. My Mom and Dad ended up waking up at 3 o'clock and went to get more firewood and Duncan Donuts donuts! Do you know how long it's been since I've had a REAL Duncan Donuts donut? It's been a year! No, no, it's been more than a year! It's been forever! Ahhhhhhh! Ok, sorry about that. I was just happy to have an American donut at 4 o'clock in the morning.

I want to take pictures and show you but I'm not allowed to take the camera out to the beach. I'll post pictures later today if I'm lucky.

Well, I gotta go! I'll post more now because I'm in a beach house and I want to share with my viewers! Hope to see all you guys soon! Bye!
