Back to blogging!
Imma back!
So, several times i have thought back to when i blogged on here, and have missed it! Hopefully starting again means i can keep up with it, which i hope to do!
Oh, how busy we have been! I’ll just jump on in and start with one of the most exciting news; i got accepted into International Highschool! Despite how much i have loved homeschooling, and still do, i decided i might try something new, since highschool is a pretty big thing. We are still seeing if going to highschool will work out, but either public or homeschooling, i am very excited to start 9th grade!
Some other updates – gymnastics is still going VERY well and have been having a blast competing and getting new skills, as well as working up to the next highest level, gold. This weekend i will be competing a new, higher level, and i am pretty nervous! After this meet, there are two other state meets, and after that, comes summer practices! I do love gymnastics in the summer, it’s when i mostly get new skills, since we don’t have to focus on routines to compete. I can’t wait for the meets and new skills to come!
I have also started a few projects. Numero Uno being a fish scene in our basement fish closet. So far, i have finished the light blue background, and two fish, including Nemo 🙂 I am hoping to finish it soon, and can’t wait to see how it turns out! Another project is pretty much a constant “project”. Last summer, my friend Brinley and I decided to make a DIY (do it yourself) account on Instagram. Here, we post tips, ideas, and of course, diy’s. So, my motto lately has been, “If you can make it, why buy it?” So, i make it, and put it on my account! Everything from lip balm made from crayons, to transforming old boxes into organizers, i have had a blast with this account!
Since it has been a couple, well, years, i should probably share some of my newer interests. One thing is, haha, a TV series called Pretty Little Liars. This is about a group of friends who’s friend went missing, and they try to find out what happen to her, as well as the story behind a series of threats they are getting from an unknown somebody. I enjoy the mystery part of it, as well as the drama. Among my list of interests is also art, even though it kind of always been, though now i am doing more with it. I have been taking art classes, and how far they have gotten me is amazing! I have even had my art be in the Matisse exhibit at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, which was very exciting. I have even applied for an art scholarship, although i will not find out if i got it until next week 🙂 One of my top interests, besides gymnastics, of course, is marine biology. I am still not sure exactly when this sparked, but it was fairly recent. Although i know i have enjoyed fish tanks and water since i was a baby, i haven’t until recently recognized it as marine biology, and loved it even more! Since some of my last blogs, i have done a water testing summer camp on Lake Michigan, got my SCUBA certification in the Bahamas (this trip, was AMAZING. My first dive was absolutely breath taking. The immense amount of coral, all of the colors, it was almost too much for me to take in! Our first dive, we saw a shark, a small stingray, and an eel that scared the crap out of me when it shot out of the rock below me! This trip was i think my favorite i have EVER been too. The snorkeling and SCUBA diving we did just opened up a whole nother world!) and keep up on water testing our fish tank at home. Marine biology is definitely one of my favorite interests! There is also baking, volunteering at the humane society, gymnastics……..i am just worried this blog might never end!!
Aaannnddd 3 years later my favorites have probably changed, and i love sharing my favorites! My favorite color is blue, and in any shade. I still love Mexican food, although Japanese it delicious, as long as it doesn’t include sushi! Call me crazy, but sushi just isn’t my thing. My favorite sport is still gymnastics…… and i am having a hard time thinking of any others! If you want to see a recent “50 facts about me”, you can find my post on instagram @_caylie_13.
So, i think i should save some of the other things i wanted to share for another post, or i might not get any sleep. Thanks for reading, and maybe my next posts won’t be so long!!

To Do – rent car, Lucayan National Park: Gold Rock Beach
Gold Rock Beach at Lucayan National Park is one of the most beautiful beaches on Grand Bahama. Located about 45 minutes from Lucaya and 1 hour from the cruise pier, you will spot a lone telephone on the left side of the road, and if you see a car parked on the side of the road,that is probably the park entrance. Slow down and look left and you should see the sign and parking area. There is a compost toilet at the entrance, but no facilities at the beach whatsoever. There is a $3.00 per person park entrance fee. Cross the street and walk the path about 1/4 mile through the mangroves to the beach.
The beach should be visited at low tide – at high tide it’s not really worth the drive out, as there are beaches equally beautiful much closer to town. If low tide is at 1:00 PM, and you want to spend four hours at the beach, plan to arrive at 11:00 AM and stay until 3:00 PM to maximize your enjoyment. Bring a cooler and towels with you because there is no food anywhere near the park. Snorkeling is not good from the beach due to the sand, but you can see a few starfish, stingrays, sand dollars, sea biscuits, and the like. If you swim really far out to Gold Rock Reef, there is good snorkeling out there, but it is a long exhausting swim and make sure you do the buddy system if you chance it. Not really recommended, better to visit in a boat if you want to visit the reef. As with all national parks in the Bahamas, taking any shells or artifacts of any kind from the water, beach, or park is strictly prohibited and strongly enforced.
Cruise passengers should visit the beach by rental car or with a tour. Taxis will take you out there, but it is in the middle of nowhere and you can’t take the risk your taxi doesn’t come back to get you as agreed. Hotel guests can usually arrange with a taxi to come back and get you at an agreed time, but make sure to bring a cell phone just in case. Rental car for the day is recommended due to convenience and taxis are expensive to go out to the park.
The trip can be combined with a short trail to a couple of small water-filled caves in Lucayan National Park located across the street, or you can drive up a little further to the town of High Rock, where there are a couple of very nice beach hangouts – Bishop’s on the Beach and Diamond Sunset – to get some native food and relaxation on one of the island’s other beautiful white sand beaches. You can get some nice photos of the lighthouse that used to be featured on Sands Brewery’s High Rock beer, relax in a hammock or a lounge chair, or talk it up with your friendly hosts.

Recent Achievements & Awesome Fish Tank Project
Hey everyone!
Caylie again! Just posting some more things about whats been going on. My aunt and uncle just took my siblings, my cousins, and I to an awesome fitness place in Fishers. There my aunt helped me on doing my back-hand spring! I got that down pretty well now and my aunt did some good cartwheels on the beam with me 🙂 My dad and I have started on a fish tank project. We are putting in a 7 foot tank to divide the kitchen and the TV room instead of a banister. We took out the banister the other day; can’t wait! Will post some pictures of it when it is done and keep you updated on how it’s going 🙂 Peace out girl scout!
