The most awesome part of PD(which was the first ever extended family holiday on my father's side) was our hole. It was the most awesome hole. As KC would put it: The hole was gangster. From about 2 pm when I arrived at the beach, we(me, Kit, KC, and the little 'uns) dug a hole in the beach until about 9 pm.
This is when we started.
If you've read the book Holes, you would know that Stanley Yelnats can dig a hole that is five feet deep and five feet wide all by himself, without taking half as long as we did. But seriously, that's just fiction. In reality, it takes three people and several kids about 7 hours to dig a hole in the beach that's... Well, estimatively similar to the size of Stanley Yelnats' one.
This is about... Halfway through?
It was meant to be a jacuzzi. We wanted to make a stream from the ocean flowing into the hole that was pretty far up the beach, but we quickly realized that water doesn't flow upriver. So we went on digging the hole. Finally, when we reached a depth of about five feet, we found water at the bottom of the hole. Ecstatic, we dug, and we dug, and we dug, hoping to be able to dig it deep enough for us to be standing in the underground water. We didn't succeed in that, of course. That would be ridiculous. We settled for a depth that we could sit in, with our legs submerged in the underground water.
Here's the furthest along picture of the hole. This was before we reached the final level of our hole, but here you can see that we actually DID dig a pretty large hole. Now I only wish that we had taken a picture of the completed hole.
Anyway, MCKL deserves at least a small write-up. It was pretty darn awesome. That said, I don't really have much to say about it except that a certain blind man's lunch got cold because of us. If you're reading this: "Maaf, encik." (Oh wait. I mean, if someone is reading this to you.)
I sat down thinking that I'd write about the amazing Amazing Race, which I've just gotten back from. And I also wanted to talk about the super "Super Heroes" themed International Relationships Day that I attended yesterday. Unfortunately, I'm getting tired of typing.
So about the Amazing Race, I'll just say that although we came in last(we weren't slow, we just thought that the race was already over, so we dily-daly-ed), I had more fun than I did at MCKL.
Besides, I don't really have to tell the whole story of the Amazing Race. The name says it all.
