During the winter break I went to South Carolina to a coastal island named Daufuskie. I stayed in a real lighthouse, it snowed, I rode horses, and I learned about the Marsh Tackys (a really cool type of horse). It snowed in South CarolinaĀ a long time ago so it was exiting to see real snow. The lighthouse we stayed in was a really old one. It was so old itĀ had a butter churn! And it still worked!

At the barn where we rode horses there where 3 cats and 1 lab. And of course horses. I rode one named Fawn and my brother rode one named Gator. The Marsh Tackys are horses that have short legs that can walk on ice and mud without slipping. They were taken away from the island and they recently brought them back. When we came to the island they had just had two baby horses but we only met the little girl horse. SHE WAS SO CUTE!

I also saw indigo being made. Indigo is a plant that you pick the leaves when it’s flowering and you crush them to make tiny little chunks of a dark green. Then put in hot water and add some other materials, like lime, and mix it, then wait. Then put a piece of cloth or silk into the dye and it will be blue!
As you can see, I had a amazing time at Daufuskie island.
