Costa Rica: Part 2- the Huge Storm!

After me and Hannah were in the pool, followed by the rest of the kids, the rain started pouring so hard, we couldn't even see.
It was fun until a HUGE crack of lightning scared the crap out of us. The life guard told us to evacuate the pool. that was just the beginning. Lightning lit the sky for hours on end. When we had dinner, the storm was crazy!
Suddenly the lights went out, it was PITCH black, seriously. we all like, screamed. the power was out for hours, it was so dark, eventually we all went to bed, but on my way to the room, out of the corner of my eye when a flash of lightning struck, I saw a snake strike three inches from my bare foot! I screamed, but we couldn't get in the room, so emma and courtney had to let me in theirs.
it freaked me out dude! i was like to scared to leave the room any more!

Marlee,
Thats hilarios! I almost peed my pants when you said the part about the striking snake. I can picture it now in my head, your face would be white, and your mouth agape, and you go
"beek" In the voice.
Well, here goes the required part,
I liked this because it was soooo freaking funny! I loved the snake part, and well.....everything!! I can imagine the fear.

This is really descriptive. I liked the way you mentioned the way the lightning was lighting up the sky.I could imanginge the way it flashed. In texas we had alot of lighting, too. I actually liked watching it.

Wow Marlee that stinks that you had to get out of the pool so quickly! Also the part about the snake was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!! I would have been sooooooo scared! That was nice of Courtney and Emma to let you in their room. I like this entry because it made me feel like I was there with you! That actually sounds like fun, except for the snake part! Good job and keep writing:):P

Oh wow that’s really descriptive but also very scary. I'm sorry the lightning scared you but it must have been really pretty. I liked this because you told about one big experience that happened to you and you explained it so well. I would have jumped into the closest room f I was put in that position to. Great job.
