This week has by far been the hardest so far. I had to say goodbye to my dog of 11 years, Balon. Nothing more for this week.
This week marks the end of my trip to Kauai and my 16th birthday. My family and I have filled our week with adventure. We have gone snorkeling at a couple beaches, which is really fun but also nerve racking. This is mostly due to the open water, but also the population of pufferfish close … Continue reading “Cooper Riegel – Week 28”
