Slide 23

April 14 My family and I took a trip on a whale-watching boat. Everyone searched the ocean for whales. At first we saw only other boats. Then a little girl pointed. We spotted three whales in the distance. Many people used their binoculars. The tall waterspouts from the whales blowholes really impressed me. Amazingly, the huge graceful creatures approached our ship. Then they dived. The ocean water covered their shiny bodies. They disappeared. Tears filled my eyes. Circle verbs, and underline the direct objects
