The last leg of our Spring Trip brought us to Wei Hai.  Wei Hai is a coastal city in China.  Every year they bring the 7th graders here and they swim and play on the beach.  Our hotel was just a walk across the street then your feet hit soft sand.  The day we got to our hotel we had 2 hours and 30 minutes of free time.  So one of the teachers offered to bring some of us down to the beach to kill time.  Though the skies were partly over cast and it was windy I had a wonderful time searching for shells, sitting on the shore, and screaming every time the icy water touched my feet!  It was really nice.  I was also enthusiastic about the next day when the whole class would come and play in the water!!! When I woke up the next morning I was met by the pit-pat of rain knocking on my window 🙁 .  I was very sad and disappointed. We met down stairs for breakfast then, instead of doing it on the sand under a beaming sun, we sat in one of the hotel rooms and did our devotion.  Any way afterward some teachers offered to take those daring souls that are willing to brave the icy cold water to the beach to play!  I went of course!  It was A LOT of fun!!!  One of my friends pushed me right into the ocean!  It was freezing!!  We were all really cold, but still had a ball!

Happy to be at the beach, even though it's over cast.
