My Experience With Veterans Memorial Park

When school was out, I would play with my friends in the neighborhood. These were kids who were not my age- some were older, and some were younger. We all had one thing in common, though- we wanted to have fun! We would throw sponge balls at the pool, play basketball at the park, or try out new videogames at my house. These were always good times.

As child, I didn't participate in a lot of sports or games, so I don't really have a favorite sports or games or activities; however, I was always in love with going outside similar to going to amusement parks or sightseeings.

My Aunt loved taking us places, she would take us to the mall to get coloring books and toys, and we would also go to the market to get food and to get my brother Bakugans which were popular at the time. She also got us strawberry ice cream, and took us to the park. The park got renovated while we were there so we got to see its transformation from a sad little playground to a giant wooden playscape that contained a ship, two seesaws, four metal swing sets, and a bike path.

Everyday we would do something new, for example, go karting, board games, card games, but specifically the one that sticks out in my mind is geocaching. We would always go out to new places and look for geocaches. It was exhilarating when I actually found one and got to take what was in the container and put something new back in.

Once me and my sister went to spend the night at our cousin's house. My cousins have four acres of forest in there backyard so my cousin Trenton and I found some really long tree branches and we built a fort. It was pretty cool. Then we watched a funny movie called Knucklehead.

We made wax candles, cooked our lunch, played the games the pioneer children played, washed clothes, and wove blankets. My favorite activity was cooking

One of me and my sister’s main game that I remember most clearly is were we would get down on our hands and feet and pretend to be horses, running around barefoot all day. We invented these things called clip clops; with help from our dad, we made horse hooves out of old wooden fencing. We would explore

As I got older, we progressed from puzzles and matching games to heated games of Scrabble and newspaper word searches. I was highly competitive, and every adult in my life was more than willing to support that and play with me.

The summer between my freshman and sophomore year of high school I was at my house with my family and my friends. They live in Ohio, but we all have houses in the same neighborhood at the lake. When we are all together we ride four wheelers down to the lake, around the neighborhood, and just have fun together.

When we went to there house I got cake and then later we played uno.

When I was five I played outside with all of my neighbor friends, since nobody had homework.

Life magazines, and I would look through them when we were there. I especially like the magazines with John F. Kennedy in them. We would also go to the beach in California and that is something I loved. I liked nature and I loved to watch the ocean. I wished we had a house overlooking the ocean, and I sometimes dreamed of owning a place next to an ocean. As we were growing up, all her relatives died.

Activities I vividly remember are the times I spent at the local park and finger painting at home. One of my favorite painting moments is when mom rolled out paper (the size of our living room floor) large enough to trace

Growing up on the farm, there was always something fun to do. My siblings and I rode horses, played in the irrigation with the dogs, and even

From days on the beach to campfires, my cousins, my friends, and I enjoy many activities. My cousins, Allison, Jada, and Lauren, helped to make this vacation mean something to me. We would play multiple games on the beach. Some of them were King of the Raft and Categories, but one of my favorite that we made up was
