Soaking up the Sun in Pirate's Bay

We had class this morning & we finished an hour early which was perfect because the sun was out & we were all really excited to take advantage of it & actually do something outside! We had planned to go up to Pirate's Bay so when class ended, we went to change & put out bathing suits on, had some lunch then hiked over to the beach. It was about a 20 minute walk there with a steep incline so we definitely broke a sweat but the views on the way there were perfect! We stopped to take pictures then continued to make our way down. There were some really steep stairs going down to the beach which was kind of sketchy to walk down but we took our time. Once we hit the sand we all did nothing but take pictures of everything. The beach is gorgeous, the sand was so soft, the sun was shining, the water was so blue... Man, it was beautiful! We laid our stuff down & took our clothes off & ran into the ocean. The water felt sooo good after hiking down there! Varsha didn't know how to swim so Debbie, McKenzie & Megan all taught her how while the rest of us went out into the blue haha. She actually picked up pretty quick though & it was nice to celebrate with her a new accomplishment :) We literally spent out whole day doing nothing but tanning & swimming & it couldn't have been any better. A few hours passed & Suzanne & her family & friends (Linda & Mexican MacGyver) along with Candice & the baby came down to the beach & it was nice to have everyone there even though we were all sprawled out. We met a guy named Clayton but he told us to call him Bash.. He was a friend of Candice's & told us how he lives & works on the beach renting out lawn chairs. He was real nice & kind of hung around our group wanting to talk to us. After a while & after finishing our snacks, Lauren, Katy & I walked over to a fruit stand on the beach. They had coconuts, bananas, & pineapples so we bought a big pineapple to share with the group.. It was delicious! We continued to tan & lay around then half the group decided to head back over to the cabins. The other half stayed back a while then walked up too. The sun & water definitely wore us out & made us hungry so when we got back, I made quesadillas for our cabin with sliced avocados on the side. I noticed that I got a lot of color. Myface, chest, back, & arms are super red & burning.. I'm excited to see what the tan will look like though:) We showered, chilled & did some homework before dinner then went over to have dinner which was delicious! During dinner Candice had us do an activity about our hopes, fears & expectations of the trip & just cleared the air on some things for us. When that was over, cleaned up then headed over to our cabin & on the way, Morgan mentioned something about pranking their cabin... Right away, Lauren & I were in! Haha. We went to tell McKenzie & Q about it so we got to planning it right away. Morgan & I went over to make sure that the kitchen door was unlocked so we played it off by going over for a grapefruit. While there, Morgan unlocked the kitchen door for us to make sure it stays that way for our plan. We put on dark clothes & found sticks to use as our noise making objects. We snuck over & scratched the window of Harmony & Varsha's room with the stick & heard them freaking out right away. I signed McKenzie with my flashlight to make the call to Debbie & make it seem like someone was making noises at our place too. Q, Morgan, Lauren & I went around the house to the kitchen door for the grand finale. We made a few more noises then made sure that they were all in the living room, which they were & that's when Q barged in screaming with us following in behind him & they screamed their heads off hahahaha. It was the funniest thing to watch! Our plan went just as planned which was perfect & scared all of them so good! It was a great way to end the night & I'm excited to see what they come up with to get us back.
