#1: A Lighthouse

The Lighthouse at East Wharf

You wouldn't think we could accomplish this one, living in land-locked Oklahoma, but you would be wrong. The Lighthouse at East Wharf is located on Lake Hefner in Oklahoma City. It was built in 1999 and is a working replica of the second-oldest light station in the United States. The original lighthouse is at Brandt Point, near Nantucket, MA, and has been standing since 1746. Our lighthouse is 36 feet tall, whereas the Brandt Point lighthouse is only 26 feet tall.

Our family packed a picnic lunch and ate in a small patch of shade by the water's edge.

When we got to the lighthouse, the view from the lighthouse grounds of the lake was very pretty. When you actually got close to the lighthouse, it was really disgusting because their were thousands of bugs on the walls! Then we had a picnic, and while we were eating we saw a little turtle pop his head up out of the water and a helicopter flying really close to the ground. It was a fun experience. I enjoyed going to the lighthouse!

We went to the lighthouse, and we took some pictures. We ate some food. Before we ate some food, I went to the lake, and I touched moss. We got to see a big, furry dog. We got to see a turtle's head.
