Im back!!

Hi everyone!
As many of you may know, I'm back in Australia!  When I walked outside the airport, I was freezing!!!!! I was still in my summer clothes. I almost forgot what the cold felt like. 
I had such a wonderful experience in America, and i have met so many people! 
I hope you enjoyed reading my blog! :)

Movies

Yesterday, my dad, my brothers and I saw the movie 'Brave'. It is now one of my favourite Disney animations. It was so funny! It is set in Scotland. After watching it, it made me want to go to Scotland one day. I'll put it on my list of must do's.

New Smyrna Beach

Last Saturday, there was a youth church activity to the beach. Everyone from the the youth group and families came and had a great time. The sun was burning and the sand was scorching, restricting a certain time of actually walking barefooted. The water was very different to the seawater at Sydney. It was a very flat beach, and cars were able to drive on the sand. My friends and I went boogie boarding in the waves. Far out in the water, there was a big sand bank. In the middle of the shore and the sandbank, it was very deep. As the hours of the day passed, the water came in about 50m from the beginning of the day to the end. Many other people had to relocate their tents and bags up more. My dad and a couple of little boys made a dam, for fish to swim in, as the waves crashed on the shore. I heard they caught about five little fish. My brother got bitten by a claw of something and received a nasty cut. I was out in the water for hours with my friends.
Unfortunately at the end of the day, I was really sunburnt. I don't just mean a little burnt;i mean PAINFULLY BURNT! Even now, I am a little red on my arms and my skin is pealing.
At night, my dad mixed bicarbonate of Soda with water (chalky paste) and painted it down and up my burns. I had to sleep with the chalky paste on, and my face and my arms felt stiff. The next day, it really made a difference.  It wasn't completely healed but it helped allot. There was bicarbonate of Soda all over my sheets.
It was so fun that day at the beach.
(At church,the next day, many people had red or pink faces.)
