“Hey Jake. Wake up,” Mom whispered in my ear. Even though it was 5:30 in the morning, I was still energetic and excited. How could I not be energetic? We were going to Chicago! We arrived at the airport at around 6:45 and I was still excited. Everyone kept on getting mad at me because they were tired and I wasn’t, so I was asking questions and saying, “We’re going to Chicago, we’re going to Chicago!” Once we got on the plane though, I was the tired one. I was asleep for most of the plane ride. We arrived in Chicago after a two hour plane ride and we went straight to our hotel. We then walked around for a little and then we went to our favorite restaurant in Chicago called Portillo’s. We all got Italian Beef sandwiches except for my older sister Zoe, who doesn’t like meat. They were delicious! After lunch, we walked around the city a little more, which is what we usually do on vacations in Chicago. We went on a boat ride on Lake Michigan and they showed us architecture in Chicago, which is always interesting. …show more content…
First, we checked out my Uncle’s new house. It was a big, white house with a big backyard. They had a very cute dog who loved me! I made a new friend that day. Then, we all went to my Aunt’s house with my grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and some of my mom’s friends from high school and college. The second I walked into their backyard, the smell of hotdogs and sausage hit me like a bullet. Everyone greeted me with hugs and smiles. There was a pool and a cute little dog named Zeus who was sleeping on the deck and snoring. I swam for a little and then I talked to all of my relatives that were there. The food was absolutely amazing! I had a bunch of hot dogs and sausages with salad and pasta salad. For dessert there was yummy chocolate cheesecake with strawberries that my aunt made, which was even more delicious than the main
Welcome to Boston, we WON! Boston victory for 2017-2018!!!!! I'm joking... We came 2nd, though. I fully believed we would get 3rd or 4th, for the entire game. After I learned to ignore some of my teammate's uncommon habits... let's go with that... The game became so fun, and the homework so enjoyable. Though it is a lot harder and more time consuming. Seventy percent of the group fools around, and the rest scream at Quebec, every single day. You'll ruin a few friendships, want to change teams, and laugh at an enemy's pain. We allied with another American group, but be careful. Even after asking them for help most of the game, they kept brushing us off...Traitors. On the last day, our home province got invaded, by Quebec
When we finally got our rental car we decided to go sightseeing since we couldn’t go to our hotel till 4 p.m. We decided to go to the Willis tower. It felt like the whole town of Chicago was in that building. We had to wait for an hour and a half to be able to go to the very top of the building, and it had about 90 stories. So on the top there was even more people. There were windows all around so we could see the whole town of Chicago. We saw Lake Michigan, boats, and so many other buildings. The view was amazing.
It was my first Blackhawks game and I didn’t think anything could make that night better, even though we ended up losing in a shootout. I was wrong. As my family and I stepped out of the United Center into the dark, cold, city smelling air of the October night, we couldn’t believe our eyes. Blackhawks’ alumni Bobby Hull was outside signing autographs and taking pictures. Since I was still a kid and just getting into hockey, I didn’t know who this was, but the rest of my family did. They all said we had to go by him since there wasn’t a large crowd. Because I was young and curious, I agreed.
The clouds blocked the beaming sun from reaching the inside of the cornucopia in which my cousins all smiled and posed. Some of them were kneeling, others standing behind them. All of them seemed to be having a good time together. Then there was little me in the background wearing my pink summer dress with my little red, yellow and blue backpack dangling from my shoulders. I stood with my arms folded in front of me; a glare beamed from my face in the direction of the camera. My sassy attitude seems to have no affect on my cousins. It was the day of our annual family trip to Chicago. A day filled with family fun, Garrett's popcorn, and walks through Chicago’s many parks. These family-fun packed trips have dwindled from being anual to being non-existent as everyone grew up.
I put on a pair of jeans and walk downstairs into the dining room, there was a plate with frijoles, chorizo and tortillas waiting for me. My grandmother brings me my favorite drink, homemade chocolate milk. I sit down and across from me is my cousin Lesly. She was bored, she always was.
When we got there I called my dad so I can see him. I went to stay with him so I can spend time with him and my step mom. They got a puppy that is pretty and I was happy because I hug the puppy for a long time. I also went to see my mom because she wanted to see me and I wanted to see her. I went to see my uncle because I haven't saw him for a long time. One of my cousin was over there to so me and him hangout that night. I stayed with my uncle for 4 nights so my other cousin came back home to so me and my two cousin spend the day that day because we don't live next to each
As usual the relatives were happy to see my family and I, and after seeing everybody and hanging around inside for a little bit. My grandmother stayed inside with my mother too cook, and the rest of us transitioned into my backyard where I had another enjoyable experience. There was a rope in my backyard, and this rope was a modern day iPhone. I would swing on this rope for countless hours day after day having the time of my life. This time it was different however, because I had my relatives there, and they would push me on it propelling me even further up making the experience of swinging on this rope even more enjoyable. Out of all the moments that day this is the one that I can remember the most
My aunt, cousins, and I were going to Colorado! We met my Aunt Charlene’s boyfriend, Mike, at the airport in Colorado. We went to his parent’s house to stay for the night, We played with their games for hours. We also watched some movies and fell asleep.
My family went to Chicago to see my family members and to see new things. My family went on a plane to go to Chicago faster instead of driving.
Within these days we went to the children's museum, which was really fun because there was a lot of things to do, we went into a room full of things to do with water and like different activities. We also went to the Willis Tower and stood on the glass ledge. There was a lot of security just to go on the elevator. But when we got to the top which was 108 stories high it was really cool to see over all of Chicago. I was scared when I was on the glass ledge and so were Natalie, Liberty and my mom, but we all sat on it for pictures and Derek laid face down on the glass because he was scared of
When we got to Chicago we got a hotel and stayed there for the night then we got up at 4 in the morning so we could get around and go get checked in for our flight. When we got on the shuttle to go to the airport it was a bumpy ride.
Finally, my grandpa took me to the village where he was born. It was a nice village with a river in front and mountains in back. My cousins led me to hike in the mountains and they longed for showing me all those gorgeous natural sights I had never seen. My aunts cooked various traditional Sichuan dishes for each meal and wanted me to try all the distinctive food I had never eaten. All my relatives were so nice and hospitable to me. However, after a few days like this, I became a little bored.
When everyone was ready we were ready to travel to my uncles. Then when we were there my cousins and i played outside and i played with my cousins dog named fozzie. My cousins and i were playing outside and was able to ride my uncles fourwheeler. We had to move inside because it started to rain and my cousins and i played the
I got back in my bed and fell asleep until around 9:30, right around when it started sleeting outside. I was excited we had no school and it was near the end of the week and if we got out Friday, I could have a 5-day weekend. When I woke up, Dad had breakfast already cooking. He made eggs, rice, bacon, and biscuits with fresh fruit preservatives. After breakfast, my sisters and I went outside to play in the sleet. I wasn't outside for long until my grandaddy showed up out of the blue to see us. He stayed for maybe an hour until the sleet really started to pick
I felt a little breeze in the tip of my feet and noise as if there was crowd of people debating on a president. I stood up and realized I was the only lazy one sleeping as soon as I got to the door the sun and wind hit me in my face, people walking around, dogs sniffing her and there, and a lot of people waiting to buy fresh made tortillas. I got to the kitchen door and my grandma was cooking breakfast and my aunt had gone to work which was right across our house. As soon as I finished eating breakfast I went to visit my other aunt and my cousins they asked me lost of questions and I asked them. We had a lot of fun playing with her dog, feed her animals, and play hide and seek. At the end of the day I see the warmth of the fire and remember
