Rescue at Golden Gate Bridge

Hello everybody. Mom has horns. Do you see the spires of the Golden Gate Bridge sticking out of my mom's head?











Here we are on the Golden Gate Bridge but not yet over the water.














Here, Cameron and I are discussing what a gulf is.







We are almost walking on the water. I am looking out to see how far it is until we are above it.












Don't I have a nice, lovely, huge horn sticking out of my head? No really, don't you see a piece of one of the spires of the Golden Gate Bridge sticking out of my head?













Here is Cam standing on the Golden Gate Bridge with Angel Island in the background.

"I'm gonna jump for it."










Here, me and my mom are spitting off the Golden Gate Bridge into the water. The spit seemed to fall forever.












Here, I am watching the waves as they come forth from the tide.








Here, we are having fun talking on a pier and watching the sea gulls and seals.














This is a fort that they used to keep incoming ships from attacking the Golden Gate Bridge. We learned that when cannons fired, the cannon ball could ricochet (bounce) on the water twice and still have enough force to smash a hole in the side of a ship.

Hooray! Gunpowder!















Oh, look. Even better. More gunpowder. Inside the fort, they had barrels and barrels of gunpowder.












This was the biggest cannon they had in the fort. The sign next to it said that this cannon was never used in the fort.


We found a slug and we compared it in size to mom's shoe. Isn't it giant?






It was on the sidewalk so I decided I would pick it up and put it in the mud where it would be safer.










Good luck, ginormous slug.















Here are two seals that we saw on our trip back.








I took this picture of one of the spires in the Golden Gate Bridge while looking straight up. It looks taller than it really is, doesn't it?


On our way back, we were almost to the car. We just had to go underneath the Golden Gate Bridge and get in our car and drive home.
