   This morning we woke up to the sound of (dads imitation) "cry cry I don't want to get in my swimsuit! Spank spank spank." we then woke up and headed to the beach. We hung out there all morning and then ate lunch to the room and headed back down. I had another virgin piña colada. Then around 3 the storm that was supposed to have been here all week finally hit. It started pouring, so we headed to the outlet mall. Connor was so exited he almost peed himself when we went to the Underarmour store and he got quite a few new shirts including one entertaining one that says                   " Underarmour" on his butt.  Caleb wanted to go to Calvin Klein because he needed underware. I went  to Saks 5th avenue outlet but didn't find anything. Next, we drove to about 3 Alvins Islands, looking for braids like from Jamaica qhich none had. All the Alvins tourist trap employees are Russian with heavy foreign accents and do not like returned boggie boards. On our way to the 2nd Alvins Island we stopped by Starbucks, and dad left his on the front desk on accident. I then saw a certain Alvins tourist trap employee drinking an Americano. Not to point fingers but......when we got in the car, Connor stated complaining it would take 15 minutes for thos 20 minutes for that, adding up the time it would take to go to a restaunt, which he didnt want to do, he figured up 2 hours. After, everyone was quite ,except Caleb who said, "Wow youre good at math."Then we went back to Seaside and ate at The pizza version of  Bud and Alleys taco bar, called Bud and Alleys pizza bar. It was soooooo good. Next, we went and walked on the beach, which the restating was connected to by a boardwalk.. The sunset was hot pink because of the storm and the water was a great pink purple color it was amazing. Mom saw a photo opportunity and we then had a photo shoot. After that I did a little shipping with some aggravated boys, still no clothes. Since we are leaving in the morning, Caleb we stopped by the bungee jump place, because they are selling turtles in a kiosk and Caleb wanted one. The salesman insisted all they needed was a plastic cage with a palm tree , food and water, the Internet says no, once we got back to the hotel, we learned it needs all sorts of crap like heaters snd filters and they can live up to 40 years! And they wouldn't stop moving around in the gravel, so last night we had to put them in the bathtub and shut the door. Were leaving tommorow so this was our past day!😞
