Big Beach Blogpost!

I have not been posting in a while for two reasons.
1. This one isn't a big deal. The internet access was down.
2. This one is the big deal, the thing I'm going to be blogging about. I went to the beach.
Every year, our grandparents rent a beach house on the Outer Banks. Then we all go to the beach house together for a family reunion. This year, there were 5 big parts about the beach that everyone went crazy about. They were:
1. Theme Nights. Every year, we have things called theme nights. Each family gets to make up a theme for a dinner. For example, this year we had .....
*Bug Day, where we ate cheeseburgers and "flies".
*Cincinnati Night, where we ate foods inspired by a family-famous Ohio restaurant.
* A night where we did a kabob bar.
* A "Create Your own" night with sandwich and ice cream bars.
*And many more!!!!

2. The Beach And Pool. There is nothing our family loves to do more at the beach than to soak in a pool (or hot tub!) after a whole morning of sandcastles and surfing.
3. Little Extras. In our spare time, we would usually be doing a craft, watching TV, playing cards, playing Apples to Apples, or playing volleyball.
4. Our Special Outings. This year we made our annual trips to go to Jockey's Ridge, The Currituck Lighthouse, and Five Guys.
5. The Surf Club. My cousins and I LOVE bogieboarding and wave jumping. So we started a special club. We surfed by day and held meetings at night.

When I went home, I wrote lots of poems, lists, and stories about our experiences at the beach. But there was a special one I wanted to post on my blog. It's a list of terms that we used in the Surf Club a lot. It's called, "Surf Club Lingo."
