On the first day at Saint George Island, we were under a tornado watch.  We got a tornado app that started an alarm if there was a tornado.  Right after we tested the alarm, Ma said, “ohmygod! this could really happen! we need a plan!”.  We also put together a ditch bag with the gadgets and wallets.  Our plan was to hunker down in the campground bathroom shower if there was a tornado.   The next day the tornado watch was lifted.

The rest of the days were sunny and beautiful.  We spent most of our time there walking and playing on the beach.  We spent one day with some people we met there.  With them, we threw at least a hundred starfish that were stranded on the beach back into the ocean.  It was a great day.

My other favorite day there was when we walked five miles to the end of the island.  There were thousands of dead starfish and huge, beautiful shells.  While Ma, Pa, and Little Kid played and picnicked high up on the beach, I piled my favorite shells down by the water.  After awhile, I packed up a few great shells and a giant dead starfish, and we walked the five miles back down the beach to the campground.
