Childhood Memory

One of my favorite childhood memories is when I went to Avila Beach with my family and uncle. We were all having a great time fishing and catching crabs with a net we had. All of us were under a pier by some rocks. On the other side of the beach, there was a deep cave. The cave gave me goosebumps just by looking at it. It was dark and scary. When I entered the cave with my two brothers, it looked like a cave for bears. When the waves would hit the shore and rocks, you could hear the echoes very loud. We had a bright flash light, so we pointed it at the cave and it looked amazing. It looked like frozen icicles hanging from the top. There was water dripping from them. We were amazed about how the cave looked. Eventually, we weren’t as scared as when we first saw it. When we left the cave, we had to go across the raggedy rocks to go back to our location. On our way back we got to see lots of little crabs and small little fish. There was also little plants that suck things up. Every time I touched it, it would close. We were so tired by the time we got back to our spot. I was wearing white shorts, black shoes, and a blue shirt. The beach smelled like sand, and the salty ocean. It was 1:00 pm. and it was a nice sunny day. We got to see seals close to us by the rocks. We also found two orange, colorful starfish. So far, two hours had passed and we only had caught seven crabs. They were mid-size and good to eat. Just looking at the crabs made my mouth water. I was about 13 years old when we had a great time at the beach. It felt very relaxing and calm just being there with my family. I think this would be a memory I would never forget in my life, neither will my family. When we all headed back home, my mom started to steam the crabs and we all got to eat a very delicious crab. In conclusion, what I learned in life is that money, cars, boats, or expensive things aren’t important, what is important in life is your family, you’re never going to lose your family in life. Before you know it by the time you get old you feel like everything went by like a flash.
