Outside, I lay on a picnic table and look up at the blue sky at my campsite and wait for my friends to pick me up. I text them on my stupid LG asking where they are. Noah texted me back, “We are on our way”. So I go back inside my camper to see if I got everything, and I thought I got everything. Then I hear a car pull up and I grab my phone and bag and went outside.I got in their car and Noah’s mom greeted me. Then we took off to Lake Michigan! Me, Emily and Noah talked and were mostly on our phones taking hilarious pictures of each other. We made a group chat about it, and it happen like the whole car ride and we had to hide our faces from each other. We finally got out of the car and there we were at lake Michigan. We had to walk to our spot which was pretty far from the car park. Noah’s family had a spot already so we had to meet them there. When we got there me and Emily wanted to tan for a while and Noah wanted to go swimming. Me and Emily just laid down and Noah didn’t want to go swimming alone because that’s boring so he just laid down with us and we all tanned. …show more content…
Emily was too scared to come in because it was cold, but after a while she finally decided to come in. We went out deep to swim where we could touch and I tried “drowning” myself, and Noah helped. It was really funny because Noah sat on my shoulders and I tried to stand up but I’m really weak so I just fell over. We went really deep where there was a sandbar that was shallow. So we wouldn’t get interrupted by his little
As my family piled into our car for our four-hour drive, I sincerely hoped my brothers wouldn’t ruin the best chance that we’ve had in a long time. They were already arguing about who got what video game, and were not making my mom and dad feel any better about going. We were going to Illinois, to Chicago, to be even more specific. Chicago was the city I’d been dreaming about visiting for a long time. (Well, that and New York.) I could not believe that my parents were getting out of their comfort zone and taking us to a big city.
You know the feeling when everything’s perfect, and suddenly your heart just stops? The 1 hour 48 minute drive to Lake Ontario was just like any other. Movie playing, siblings arguing, music blasting. My family hosts our annual 4th of July party up by Cape Vincent. With the warm air filled with the scent of the grill, and the sounds of laughter and music,that weekend was turning out to be just like the rest. Or at least that’s what we thought. 1311 Failing Shores Lane was never quiet during any of the previous events, but for some reason a dead silence draped over the lot.
It was three in the morning and we just passed downtown Milwaukee. Our car was moving along in the direction of Charlotte, North Carolina. In the blink of an eye, I was asleep. When I awoke we were just exiting Illinois, we had been driving for three hours already. The ride ahead was 15 hours and I was bucked down in the far back of my mom's van. I was sprawled out all the way across the seat. I had the middle seat belt buckle around my waist and was under three blankets. The drive through Indiana and Ohio was extremely boring. All that was there
“Hey kids come on get in!” My dad yelled across the parking lot. Reilly, Olivia and I were going camping with our dads just for the weekend. We got in the car and began our 2 hour drive to Hocking Hills. It was a boring drive, and we were cramped in the back with all of the camping gear, tents, food, clothes, bedding. Eventually we got to the campground and set up our tents. It was a nice cozy little area. We had woods all around us except in front of us where the car was. Reilly, Olivia and my tent was in the middle of our dads’ tents. After we had everything set up we did some exploring in the woods. We didn’t know what secrets it held.
One of the first projects I partook in for my Entrepreneurship Marketing Finance class was a sales presentation regarding a specific city in Michigan. Students were to decide if they wanted to do the presentation alone, getting a mystery advantage, or have a partner. After pondering this, I chose to receive the advantage, and work alone, along with a handful of my peers. The advantage ended up being that we would be able to choose the city from an array of notecards with the names of famous cities in Michigan. In the end, I picked the city Petoskey Michigan. This vast city was new to me, but I decided the project would be more fun if I chose a city I was unfamiliar with. In addition, I was familiar with the history of the petoskey stone and hypothesised that this city had to be named after this stone. Others who worked with a partner had to blindly pick a card that had a city on it. Cities that were picked included Kalamazoo, Saugatuck, Charlevoix and South Haven.
After we all put sunscreen on we started to head for the front gates of the park. As we got closer and closer i got more and more excited for the day ahead. After my dad gave everyone our tickets we went into the park. The first thing we did was to go up to the Top Thrill Dragster. But like always it was closed so my dad said “We will come back in a bit after we ride some
It all started with a phone call from my great aunt, Aisha, telling my mother that they were going upstate for the day, and asking if I could come with. Since Mom and Dad happened to have the day off, they decided to make it a family affair. The drive up to Lake George was actually a ton of fun since all of us cousins sat in the back and played car games. When we finally got there, the adults checked into our hotel rooms and all the kids hit the pool. We all played
Michigan I - My interest in this seminar stems from my home, Chicago. As I live in the city of meat packaging and cultural mixing, I found interest in seeing how another city take on its evolution in different way than Chicago. Also in looking at Detroit, I am able to see my city in a different light.
Three days later, my mom called and said she would be on her way to help pack the camper to move but my sister, Bryce, had to stay home for cheer. My dad had work the day she was on her way so I cleaned to camper most of that day, and took care of Wade’s dogs. When she was about 100 miles away from the town I was in she called me and we talked then she hung up and called me right back. I was wondering why she was calling me but I answered and it was MY SISTER! I was so excited because her birthday was two days later and I got to spend it with her.Eventually, they got there and I was so happy to see them. And that was the end of me being alone in
This summer I decided to do Eastside volleyball club with Kelsey, Sophie, and Emily. My team decided to go to Wisconsin Dells for a volleyball tournament. We all stayed at a hotel with a great water park in it called Chula Vista, which isn't that popular but it was fun. Chula Vista was fun because they had many fun and big slides that I did with my team. Everyone also got to play volleyball in a big dome. I'm pretty sure everyone on our team had fun.
I put my head between my legs and sobbed. I stayed on that little raincloud until sunset. I watched from my cloud until it finally had no more water and I flew back to my mom. I landed back in Heaven and discovered all the angels were gathered.
Driving to a new place, I embraced the surrounding that I was witnessing for the first one. When I got out of the car the gravel crunched under my feet. My family and I walk up a long, skinny board walk approaching the front entrance. As I looked out the front windows all I could see was the beautiful view of Lake Travis. Walking out I saw rows of tables that had umbrellas on top. There was multiple different levels that you could sit at all looking out at the same mesmerizing view. Looking out over the lake I felt a sense of home.
I woke up at 8am, looked out my window and saw two large moving trucks. I sat up and looked around my room but could barely recognize it because it was filled with boxes. I was so sad and just wanted to crawl under my covers and stay there forever, but I put a fake smile on and helped my parents out. Many people had stopped by to say their goodbyes, it was very depressing and there was a lot of tears shed. The next day arrived before I knew it, our car was packed and we started the twenty hour drive to Nebraska. This was the longest and most depressing car ride of my life. My brother and I were miserable and my parents knew it wasn 't worth it to try to cheer us up. My pillow was soaked from tears and I had no idea what my future held. When we finally arrived in Nebraska I was extremely surprised, I didn 't see any corn; there was actually civilization. Twenty minutes after we arrived in Nebraska we pulled into the driveway of my newhouse and surprisingly I felt overjoyed to be at my new home. I then realised that maybe Nebraska wasn 't going to be so bad after
When I went to Canada I was going into the 5th grade. I camped on a Yogi Bear site in Niagara Falls. We got to the campsite after a long and boring 9 hour car ride. When we got to the campsite at 10:00 PM my grandparents, brother, and I set up the tent really quick. Then we went to bed because we were very tired. The next morning my brother and I went to the pool. We made friends, some of them were French. Then we got ready for a boat trip on The Maid of the Mist. When we got on the boat, my poncho ripped. So my brother and I switched ponchos, I was dry and he was soaking wet. He was so mad that he is still mad to this day. After that, we walked around Niagara Falls and went to some arcades. I lost most of my prizes within five minutes of
I heard the squeak of my mother’s high pitched voice “soon sweetheart, soon.” I decided I should sleep, since my parents hadn’t been helpful in telling me when we would be getting to Spring Lake. Another hour later I felt the lurch of the car and the seatbelt tighten around my waist, I sat up and stretched my arms, I noticed the car was parked and the engine of the car was off. In front of us is a two story cabin, just like Lincoln logs, I unbuckled my seat belt and stepped out of the car, my parents were walking out of the cabin.... ...
