Canoe Lake Recount

Our families hiked up to the top of Nevada Falls and there we sat down to picnic, near this beautiful Falls. We broke out our box lunches, opened our soda's. A few minutes into enjoying our food, I looked up about ten feet behind the group and above the rest of the party. Here comes a Mother black bear over the rise with her baby cub. Seeing this instant trouble, I told every one to drop their food and back away. The Mother herself looked only to be not more than five or six years old. And to quote my girls the cub was "adorable." We all backed away and watched the mother sort through our lunch, and decide

Loading the hefty luggage into the vehicle, we were beginning our journey to an exciting place that I’ll never forget. We were traveling from my hometown located in the southeastern part of Mississippi, Waynesboro. Waynesboro is like the land of zero opportunities. The streets are often bare and boring. There is no “downtown”; everything is crammed in one section of the small town. Calling Waynesboro dull would be considered an understatement, but where we were traveling was the complete opposite. It is a rather near location that enlightened me with intriguing aspects of the world. Our destination was Nashville, Tennessee.

Have you ever been on a vacation? Although I have not been on an enormous amount of vacations, but I have been on a few. Of the four to five vacations I have been on, the most favorable trip I have ever been on was when I was seven years old and my family went to Colorado. There, we explored the nearby towns, went dirt-biking, went on a train, and had some mishaps. We also stopped at some amazing places on the way there, including a huge museum in Kansas City.

A few years ago during the summer, my family and I took a trip to the lake. We do this about every summer, but this trip was different.We rented a lake house for the weekend so we could stay out on the lake for as long as we desired. One night when we were out later than usual, my dad let my sisters and I take turns driving the boat across the lake since it was practically one in the morning and almost no other boats were out. My turn was fun, but what I enjoyed most that night was standing in the middle of the boat while my dad cruised around on the waters listening to the radio. As the wind blew through my hair, I closed my eyes and let my worries

My mother took my brothers and I over to one of my mom's coworkers (and good friend’s) house on the white river.whenever we went there we knew we were either fishing or kayaking,I have never done them both at the same time, but this day I guess I did both of them.

Not long after starting my freshman year of high school, my brother and I decided to go fishing because he had recently got his license and eager to hit the road. My brother decided to take us to a new spot that I was unfamiliar with, but after a couple hours became I became impatient and bored. So I decided to go towards the center of the river to cool myself down from the heat, little did I remember that there was downpour the night before so the currents were intense and powerful.

The drive to tennessee was too long. I don’t enjoy sitting in our sedan squeezed between my two younger siblings for 8 whole hours. As we enter the downtown area, my mother asks me to give her directions to aunt Jane’s house off of our map.

One day we passed over a German U-boat, it had shot us and the boat had begun to tilt causing everyone to slide. My family and I had decided to jump, and as we were in mid-air a rescue boat hit me and ended up breaking my leg. The Captain had jumped into the water to save me. He and I were on a long adventure attempting to find our way home, it took a few weeks but in the end it was all okay. During the adventure the main thing we were doing was finding wreckage we could use to build a small

My dad came home from fishing and brought a cat fish. So, we had so much food we gave food to our neighbors some cat fish. After we all ate we were trying to sleep .Then, a bear came

The most memorable moments of a person’s life are created when they are frightened. I have to admit, I did get quite a scare that day. My family and I got onto a small yellow paddle boat with barely enough space for all of us to sit. My younger sister and I were sitting in the front, paddling, and my parents were sitting in the back with my baby sister, steering the boat. Before I go further, I should mention that I was a girl who was very scared of spiders, scared enough that when I large spider climbed into the boat I was ready to jump off without even knowing how to swim!

We scaled approximately 100 feet up the mountain, and my mother was capturing a picture of our foolish family. All of a sudden my father whispered, “Grizzly bear!” The bear gradually started walking closer towards

When we got on the pontoon boat everyone was talking about it. My cousins told everyone “It was so scary I’m not going on that boat ever again with Uncle Johnny” but at the same time it was so much fun! My grandparents were on the pontoon boat while my cousins and I were on the speed boat and when we got off my grandmother told us that she was freaking out because we were going so fast. After we got off the boats we went back to the house. The only thing everyone was talking about was how much fun the lake was and how it was so much fun and worth it. We had dinner when we got back to the house. Later, after we ate all of the kids went downstairs and went into the hot tub and played pool while the adults were upstairs. One of my other favorite parts about his vacation as when we went white water

Last summer, my family and I took a trip to New York City. We’ve visited this city about five years ago, but I didn't remember much since I was only eleven years old. This trip changed my mindset on life. I got to experience the unexplainable and took pictures that were priceless. This trip is definitely a trip to remember and will always be special to me.

When I was a young child I would love to hear my parents tell me that we were going on a trip. I would be full of excitement, because I knew that we would be going to a place that I had never seen before. My parents, my brother, and I would pack our luggage and venture out in our small gray minivan. Three of my most cherished memories in our minivan are when we went to Disney World, the beach, and the mountains.

For my birthday in September my parents gave me an ultimatum, I had to choose between 50 dollars, or I could go on a two week hunting trip. At that time I was a hunting fanatic and chose the hunting trip without a second thought. So a month after my birthday we flew out to Wisconsin and got ready to hunt at my Dad’s parents farm. We got there at about 4:30 p.m. and were debating on going hunting, But I was so gung-ho on hunting that I convinced my dad to take me just for a little while. I was so anxious and excited to be hunting that my hands were shaking.
