Research and a Party?!
My sister and I drove up the northeast coast to see the beaches in cooler weather. The sand dunes were protected and there were a few brave surfers in the cold waters of Maine.

Pose Party
My lovely mother allowed me to host a Pose Party at her place. We had a bunch of friends come over for pizza and games. While everyone was competing in the games and eating, I took research photos and videos.
Take a look at the water race video below. Can you tell which page I was researching for The Stranded Whale? Can you see where Jess cheats and disqualifies her team? Bad Jess.
