The temperature was very very high today. Gus and Trudy heard Elaine say that her thermometer had hit 109 degrees. Elaine and Sara Jane had taken a drive down to Island Beach State Park and Gus and trudy heard them talking about how beautiful it was.
Gus and trudy waited until the sun was seting and then Gus climbed up on Trudy's back and off they flew. They followed the coast line and landed in Island Beach State Park.
Gus and Trudy walked to the edge of the water. They watched the waves rolling in and ran away from the water. They did this for a while. They tried very had not to get their feet wet. Finally they took off their shoes and let the waves wash up on their feet. The cool water felt really nice on their skin.
They walked along the shore line and collected some shells and sea glass to bring home with them. Gus didn't want to take too much because he knew that Trudy was going to have to carry the shells, the glass and him home.
Finally Gus and Trudy lay on their backs in the sand and gazed up at the stars in the sky. They looked so beautiful. trudy pointed out the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper to Gus. Gus pointed out the planet Venus to Trudy. As they both gazed up in to the sky they saw a falling star. Quickly they both made a wish.
The moon was setting low in the sky and Gus and trudy knew that it was time to head back home. They wanted to be back in their little house before the sun came up. They knew it was going to be another hot day .They hoped to sleep through the worst of it.
