Aruba

Besides the obviousness of the gorgeous sand and water, Aruba's scenery intrigued me. Never had I been to an island with such amazing structures formed by these massive rocks. (As seen in the pictures.) But the fun was not only in the unique surroundings, but in the adventures my family and I created. A few of my all time favorites included our four wheeling extravaganzas on the beach. The only thing I can recommend about that, is if you are riding on the back of someone’s four wheeler, make sure they know how to drive. We also went jeeping in what looked like sand dunes with spurts of water holes. My dad was driving, so of course we all instigated him to go full force through this oversized puddle, or so we thought. He floors it into the water and immediately we see it's a lot deeper than we assumed. Water flies over the top of the jeep and smacks the rest of the water on our faces, what felt like a few seconds trying to plow threw the mucky water, felt like two days underwater. Needless to say, we were all a little dirty when we got out. I have to say, the funniest part of that trip had to have been when we all went horse back riding, my sisters and I start to race each other on the beach. My mom and dad catch on, everybody’s laughing and having a good time and as we ride on we look around, we all ask each other, "Where's dad?" Sure enough, we turn around and about fifty feet back the horse is standing there looking all innocent and my dad had tucked and rolled straight into the sand. He was covered, head to toe and in his mouth, it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
