Birthday Beach Blast

  

         On May 5th, 2018, we celebrated my sister's 10th birthday. We invited some of our closest friends to Sea-Bright Beach., an awesome beach right next to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which you can see from the beach. The party was fun. We ate chips and sandwiches, and my sister opened presents from all of her friends.
What you see in the picture above might stump you. Well, I can explain.
About halfway through the playing and fun,  we noticed a sad seal peering at us through the waves. As if it was a Selkie, it dove through the water and slid up onto the smooth, sandy shore. Its large black eyes seemed to cry without tears. A crowd of different people gathered around the frightened seal. The lifeguard had to shout, " BACK AWAY FROM THE SEAL, PLEASE!" All the people had different opinions about why the seal was on land. Most of the people in the crowd agreed that the seal was not itself, including us. About an hour later, a crew of Animal Rescue people crowded around the seal, and in about fifteen minutes, had cornered it into a huge animal cage.
That was the main event of the day, besides the tide pools at the beginning of the day.
But all too soon the sun sunk low in the sky, and we all packed up and walked out of the entrance to the beach. We stopped at Taqueria Vallarta for dinner. It was a wonderful birthday beach blast with friends, and family!
