After staying at Cedar Lake forever, we hadn't gone far until something was wrong with the brakes. Mom asked where a local mechanic was, and when we got there, he started working on it and got it fixed. The mechanice was a really nice guy, and instead of having Mom pay 1000$, he only made the charge 150$, which was really kind of him. By then, it was about 2 or 3 o clock, so we travelled as far until we got tired, and we were able to make it across the Mississippi River. Since it was summer, it was extremely hot out, even at night, so we went to a Motel 6 and stayed the night there, except for Anna, who stayed in the RV with Asher. Everyone else slept in the motel and got air conditioning, which Mom and I were very thankful for. When we got up, Jordan made breakfast behind the RV with a new gas grill Mom had just bought, but he was afraid a cop would see him. After breakfast and clean up, we left the Motel, but not far off, we heard …show more content…
That day, was a fun day, because at that day, we stopped at a missle museum, when back in the Civil War, there were working missles. We all got official "badges" and then at 5 o clock or so, we went to the actual Missle silo where they launched the missles. We took a tour of the upstairs, and then we went underground where the button was to launch it, which was securred by locks. It was a small human-size pill-shaped spot, that was "in the air", being supported by beams and off the ground. When the tour was over, I was very amazed because of the awesome expirenece. We left the missle silo, and then drove a while until we stopped a tourist attraction called The Wall. It had a bunch of stores all in rows, and we went to one and got ice cream, it was all very yummy. When we finished our ice cream, we walked around a bit, and then went back to the RV, and continued our journey into the
Wisconsin Dells was better than Six Flags because my family stayed longer. We were in Wisconsin Dells for four days, but we were only at Six Flags for two days. Because we were in the Dells longer, my family was able to create more memories. Six Flags may have had more attractions inside the park itself, but I felt rushed and did not enjoy my time there as much. The length of time my family spent in Wisconsin also gave us the ability to experience the numerous attractions found outside of the park.
My youth pastor pulled out of our church parking lot at three am in the morning loaded down with a bus full of twenty four teenagers including me. We were off at last head to Colorado Spring Colorado, little did I know, our bus was going to fall apart this very day.
Jack arrived in a town called Elk Lake which was devoid of Elks and Lakes. In fact, the closest thing to a lake it had were the puddles forming in the cracked car-worn streets. There was no forest which meant no elk. The only foliage in sight were dead bushes, meaning that there was nothing to suck in the pollution. Most of the stores had a forlorn look about them as if uttering a sad sigh.
I’ve done some scary things before and I always had the courage and motivation to do it, but this time, my courage abandoned me and just disappeared as if it was never there. It was a cool and chilly day, but the sun was shining hard at my favorite ski resort in Lake Tahoe in December. Crisp, white snow was delicately falling from the sky and it covered the ground like a blanket. But the luminous sun was melting the snow, making it wet and slippery. The trees on the side were towering but slender with dark, brown trunks and bright green leaves. I was wearing a cumbersome jacket and a helmet and I was starting to sweat a lot in the heat. There were tons of people in thick jackets carrying skis, poles, and snowboards milling around. I was in a lengthy line of people, all waiting to go on a ski lift. The lift led to a monstrously huge hill that I was about to ski on.
Later that evening, as all kids do at some point on the Fourth, my friends and I left the festivities to find some fun. We were not being particularly destructive, yet there was a hint of malicious spirit in our laughter. Walking through the neighborhood, we would shoot rockets at passers-by, houses, and even each other. This half malicious fun continued for several hours, until darkness fell completely, while we waited, not knowing what we were waiting for, very tense and excited. Then the unexpected happened, and when it did, it did so with a shot.
It was breezy day. The clear, light sky was breathtaking. Almost too gorgeous to foreshadow the disastrous day. It was on a tennis tournament on Saturday morning. I had confidence in my own abilities on that tennis court. As if I was Serena Williams ,the greatest tennis player of this century, and would win the whole tournament. I thought about my strengths and not my weaknesses on the bus ride to the tournament. Like my unpredictable serve, backhand strokes and killer volleys (that end points in an instant).
One of my most memorable days in my life was when I came to Flatwoods. I awaken from slumber it was about 7:50. I usually wake up at 7:00 but the previous day I received a letter in the mail saying I have been approved at job corps of VA aka Flatwoods. I have to be ready to leave at 10:30 so I can catch the bus. I have arrived at the Greyhound and it was quite a while so I had some free time. Going to the store I saw a Subway. I ate there for 40 minutes it was now 10:28 and on my way walking back and people was just loading up on the bus. The man driving the bus checked my bus ticket and I put my bags on the bus.
On the way to our cabin, we saw a bear cross the road in front of us. Then when we got to the cabin, we unpacked our luggage. When we got to the other side of the lake we got the fishing poles, minnows and gas. We had to take the gas to put in the boat motor. It was a one mile walk to get to the other lake.
Have you ever been in Iowa? Well I have and I was 7 years old the first time I went. You may ask why did you go to Iowa? Well, my family went and visited my mom’s dad’s mom or my great grandma. We also call her Gigi, she is now in her late 80’s. What would you do if you were going to see your 87 year old grandma?
I had the most epic summer ever. When school ended, my mom shipped me off to Crane Lake Camp for my fifth year. I appreciated the Berkshire scenery for a month and made the friends of a lifetime. My favorite part of camp was simply hanging out under the huge oak trees with my friends while watching the sunset. On the 4th of July, we celebrated with carnival games and a bouncy house. We played all day and watched the fireworks on the beach at night. After that, we stayed up all night watching movies. We won Fight Song, our annual lyrical competition, and that night we were on top of the world/invincible. A few days later, our group traveled to Montreal where we fought in laser tag, raced in ice skates, screamed at 6 flags, and slept in dingy dorm rooms.
Aspen, Colorado, the town I grew up in. The town where I first learned to speak, swim and do many other things. Life in Aspen is perfect. Skiing on the powdered slopes during the winter, hiking grueling mountains during the summer and exploring it’s majestic beauty any season. Aspen’s captivating beauty is also filled with fond memories everywhere that take me back to my childhood: seeing mom bears desperately reaching for the tart crabapples to feed their young, playing volleyball with my brother on the scorching sand, and getting frustrated because I could never hit the ball with enough force to make it over the net, watching the crystallized ice charging to take over the last bit of green left. I had it, the mountains, the snow, the house, I had it all. Although in the summer of 2012 everything changed.
One day in Tennessee, I came to the rescue of my brother. We finally got to our cabin after eight hours of driving plus stops. Tennessee is really nice because there are mountains and lots of green trees. The waterfalls are beautiful, too. My family’s cabin had two rooms and three beds. It also had a hot tub on the deck and a great view. On the third day my dad, brother, dog, and I went on a walk on a path by rocky walls. On the way we saw a wooden wagon that was old. My brother and I got in it for my dad to take a picture. Suddenly, my brother got stung by a bee! It hurt his arm, which felt like a needle poking you in the arm. I walked him back up to our cabin where he could get the first aid-kit. I handed him medicine and a band aid, then
Have you ever looked off a gigantic cliff? Now imagine traveling 30 miles per hour on a bike with curvy roads with enormous cliffs on your side with no rails. This is exactly what I did with my family when we went to Colorado. From the hotel we drove to a bike tour place to take us to the summit of Pikes Peak. After we arrived at the building we saw pictures of how massive the cliffs were, but what terrified me was the fact they had no side rails. This observation was thrilling as well as terrifying. It was an odd mix of emotions, but I loved the adrenaline rush it gave me. My dad whispered to me, “ This will be absolutely horrifying”.
I remember it like it was just yesterday, that weekend I was very excited because my family and I were going to visit the Wright Patterson Museum. We drove to the museum; it
It's all dark not even one shine of light.I hear a sharp clicking sound over and over every second I hear people voice as if they overly and extremely excited about what's going on around them.Then I heard a little kid screaming loud as ever like they was fearful and terrified of what they see or about to happen. The person behind me heart was beating so hard I could it about to bust out of her chest.I don’t know why I closed me eyes because I like the feeling when going up the roller coaster I love riding on rides at Cedar Point, but when I seen the dragster roller coaster it make me re think about going getting on it.
