Diving In

Newport, OR

When most people think of Oregon they think of either think of how rainy it is, how green it is, or the ocean. When I think of Oregon I think of family and how fun it can be, like taking hikes or just swimming in the ocean and rivers. But when I think of my friends I think of Tabby, Heather and Mariah when all of us went to the beach on one of the coldest days in Oregon. Heather and Mariah and I were walking around Newport when Tabby called us and ask if we could go to Agate Beach.

It took forever to find Tabby when we finally did Heather and I just tackled her. We were walking around when suddenly I dove into the ocean and all of them thought that I was crazy. But I just laughed. One of the funniest things that happened that day was when Tabby and Heather just about got stung by a jellyfish and they ran out of there like they were just about to die. That day was one of the best days I have ever had. I will never forget it. And it happened at the Oregon Coast, where I live.
