“A garden?” I rumbled, as a storm of anger was forming on my forehead.
I rolled both my fists, held them straight down the sides of my body as I stomped my foot down and roared, “You want me to look at flowers this winter vacation?” My mom just chuckled and said, “Google Busch Gardens! Then we’ll see if you still don’t want to go.” The trip that ensued to the Christmas Village and theme park at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, VA, is one of my most memorable ones with my mom, dad and my first cousin, Mihir. As we gingerly strolled through the ornately decorated Christmas Village, our hearts were filled with the echoes of carols and bells. The canopies decked in lilting candles were hanging stars in the deep sky. Christmas lights adorned every

“Nothing!” I just lied.
The Verbolten positioned itself for the ride. We were able to see a couple of waves from a far away grill and we waved back. It was my Mom and dad! My mom was jumping and waving and showing thumbs up! I lifted by hand to mimic her, but in my mind, I was just beginning to wonder if this was such a good idea after all.
“Beeeeeeep! Beeeeeep! Beeeeeep!” a loud signal beeped thrice while the ride supervisor gave a green light and my heart lost a beat as the ride started.
Very slowly the car curved and swung along the track, and in a jiffy, we were going from zero to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, a 1 G-force gravity! and an unexpected detour launched us into dark and foreboding woods, underground! I could feel the stealth depth of night slapping my face and then suddenly a lightning strike went down my spine and my legs shivered and my teeth shuddered. In reflex, I closed my eyes briefly before opening them again in disbelief as I felt like gravity had no effect on me! My stomach lurched at the bottom of an abyss, as we sphered down an 88-foot outdoor plunge toward the Rhine River! The screams from the other stressed riders were lost somewhere in the abyss. At this point, I wasn’t sure if I was even breathing! My lungs came back to normal only after we returned back to the glorious lights and the welcoming smell of churros at Oktoberfest. I felt proud of myself knowing that I did not

AHHHHHHH, that’s the sound I’m going to make when I going to make when I go to Six Flags this weekend. In my opinion, I think that Six Flags has the rides the best rides. There’s just one ride that I’m really afraid of. I t’s the biggest and best ride in Six Flags, the ride literally goes all around Six Flags. But I was afraid of the ride, so I said to my mom “Goliath is just one of the rides I’ll never ride.”
Adults all seem to love Christmas plays. Whether it’s the same old generic style or a comedy, they all enjoy the holiday season. However, most people don’t realize the torture of being the lead character. From hours of line study, to the embarrassment of wearing that horrible costume, to the agony of song motions. They all leave a lasting effect on your life. One of the most memorable plays I was in, for many reasons, was A Christmas Ho-Down.
In "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, Ebenezer Scrooge undergoes a transformation as a result of his encounters with three ghosts and becomes a kind, happy, and generous man. His greedy, cruel, and grumpy demeanor is replaced seemingly overnight, but he doesn’t just wake up and decide to be nice. It takes three Spirits to change his outlook on life - The Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Future. The Ghost of Christmas Past makes Scrooge begin to regret his selfishness, and the Ghost of Christmas Present begins to teach him about others. This second Ghost helps to make him realize that money doesn't buy happiness. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, however, teaches the most profound lesson of all: unless he changes, no one will care if Scrooge dies. Because of the Ghosts, by Christmas morning Ebenezer Scrooge is a completely different person from the man who went to bed on Christmas Eve.
“Come on, guys,” I yelled at my family, which consists of my mom Madonna, my father John, and my two sisters Alissa and Kara, as I ran frantically across the jam-packed parking lot to the opening gate that led to a world of adventure. As wide as the world around, my eyes pierced at the doorway to a world of fun. Families, of all sizes, were enjoying all the possibilities of fun. Hearing laughter and frightening screams, warned me of the experience waiting for me within the doorway to everlasting amazement. The sweet baked smell of funnel cakes swarmed into the fresh morning air. Before I knew it, my family and I were ready to enter Valleyfair, an amusement park that offers summertime fun to the maximum.
Disneyland Park in Disneyland Paris is a fairytale land where differences between children and adults cease to exist, whether these are about the age or something else.

Some are quite adventurous, others are relaxing, and if you aren’t sure which ride matches your mettle, there is a solution even for you. Below are listed some of the rides you shouldn’t miss when in Disneyland Park.
It all began when a couple of friends and myself went to Six Flags for some fun right at the beginning of summer. We arrived there early in morning, which was about nine o’clock for us. The birds were chirping and the sun was bright. There was also a hint of dew, making the grass sparkle in the sunlight. The place was packed, people were standing in huge lines waiting to buy their tickets. My friends and I were lucky because we had season passes and just walked right to the front gate and walked in. Naturally there was a security check at the front gate, little did I know that I was going to run into them again in the near future. From there we went straight to the ride “The Mind Eraser.” It was always wise to go to that ride first, because as the day progressed, the line grew longer. Since the ride is only about a minute long, the wait then becomes to long to make the ride worth the wait. As we got on, all of us were a little jumpy. It was the first time being to the amusement park that year, and our stomachs were not immune to the s...
Waiting in line to your favorite roller coaster is one of the most nerve wrecking and electrifying things about being at the park. Waiting in line is one of the times where you can read numerous people exact emotions. You can see people shaking and trembling in their pants as they await their turn. Kids are jumping with joy and excitement to get on the thrilling coaster. While their mother, on the other hand is trying to calm them down because inside, her heart is beating faster
“Ring, click.” You heard that right, that was the sound of sadness. That alarm means only one thing it is Monday! The first day of the week which means I have five days of school sigh, but wait what is that outside? I can barely see, but I can tell it’s white outside, wait what is that? It's snowing! “We are going to have a snow day!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs as I ran through my house!

Frosty the Snowman waves hello alongside Santa 's reindeer that are ready to take off. Candy canes line the sidewalk and the ginger bread dolls dance in a merry circle. The trees all sparkle with thousands of red, yellow, purple, blue, and orange lights. Out back, Mary and Joseph stand over baby Jesus, Choo-Choo train’s chug in spot, stars twinkle with bright yellow bulbs, and Mr. and Mrs. Santa Clause wave in the distance. Kerkhoven, MN, the location of the happiest house on the block. Every year my breath is always taken away as my eyes struggle to soak in the utter abundance of Christmas spirit. I 'm smiling and we 're not even inside yet.
