My Favorite Gathering Of Friends

I`ve been on planes, cars, and many things in my life but I have never been on a cruise, and on this Alaskan Cruise I was able to try new things. In our ship they had swimming pools, ping pong tables, casinos, and a extraordinary ice cream bar. One of my favorite parts of this trip was holding two baby sled dogs that were two weeks old. I also liked kayaking, plus I shared a kayak with my sister, Mia, and I controlled the kayak from the back. After that my family and I went on a bus ride to see caribou, bears, and glaciers. I also went on a hike and float with the Kendal`s (who are my cousins), because there daughter Annie was sleepy. I saw cool trees and fascinating wildlife. I even was allowed to eat berries that tasted like watermelon, but

In the mid 70’s, my family bought a cabin on the Illinois River. We spent all our free time there, weekends and most of the summer. For years my family enjoyed their time at the “clubhouse” as we called it. It was our home away from home. There were about 20 cabins there, so it was like our own little community. Just about everyone there was like extended family. Any time someone needed help, the neighbors showed up. Everyone there had similar interests, hunting, fishing, boating and water skiing. I spent most of my days enjoying these activities.

During the 17th century, many people were dissatisfied with the teachings of the Church of England, the principal religion during that period. This was an age of religious uprising, made evident by the English Civil War. However, gone fairly unnoticed, a new religion was starting to bring itself up. This would be the Religious Society of Friends, to be more well known to the public as the Quakers. These people upheld peaceful, pacifist attitudes. They did not believe in violence; they believed that every one is equal. Women were just as free as men were. The Quakers began in England but shifted to North America with settling in the colonies being a sought-after choice during that point in time. Although they were still persecuted, Quakerism exploded in America. The Religious Society of Friends has broken the mainstream of American religion for centuries in spite of the fact that they endured persecution at every turn, all the while having the ability to exceptionally maintain a harmonious, anti-war attitude.

Most of my family all lives pretty close to where my parents live, so it's been nice hanging with them. It's been long overdue. This year has been so crazy for us, so there is plenty to catch up on around the dinner table

Go to the river and hang out with my friends, but I’m really family oriented.

So one of the best thing I have ever gotten to do is go to Six Flags. The one I got to go to is in Van Texas. It is a crazy amusement park that has the third fastest roller coaster in the country.I got to go with some people too. Me Anne Mae, Jack, Jonathan, Mason, Alison, Olle, Davis, and my mom. It is a very cool amusement park. My favorite part was the Mr. Freeze ride. Jonathan said, “Mr. Freeze was his favorite too”.

I had so much fun when me, my sister and my momma took a trip to South Carolina. We was originally going just to go to my brothers graduation from basic training, but ended up doing more than we expected. We had a rough trip on the way to his graduation. By trouble I mean our truck broke down in Atlanta, GA. Since the truck didn't make it all the way there, we got a hotel room in Atlanta. We woke up the next day and went to explore since we was already in Atlanta and I haven't never been before. We first went to find something to eat, but didn't know where anything was at so we asked around. One man said we should go to the Underground Atlanta food court. This is shopping and entertainment district in downtown Atlanta. It was a lot of food

One thing that I find interesting and one that I enjoy is Montreat. Montreat during the year serves as a presbyterian college just outside of Asheville North Carolina.During the summer it serves as a Presbyterian Youth Conference. It is held over the course of 6 weeks. Broken up into three sets of two, each with different planning teams and small group leaders. There are many things to do at Montreat, not just take a break and connect with God a little more. You could hike up Mt. Lookout, go rock hopping, or sit in an eno and eat some ice cream from the Huckleberry. However you choose to spend your free time you always seem to make new friends.

Number One, Camping. One of most fun experiences was camping at Peninsula State Park. Peninsula State Park offers 468 individual camping sports. The campground offers campsites for campers with all different skill levels, as they have sites with or without electricity. Some of the campsites are even located right on Lake Michigan. Each of the campsites is surrounded by some sort of trees which gives each campsite

Just for extra fun we drove to Chicago and stayed there for two nights. We explored downtown Chicago, all the amazing buildings. We even got to go into the old Sears Tower, which was something that I think everyone needs to see. It's probably one of the best sights

I myself, love to travel, go hiking, camping and see waterfalls with my family every year. My family to me means everything and we are all very

“Me and my friends typically watch movies, go on a drive to McDonald’s, play music and talk, and I think it’s really fun and nice,” Kasbekar said. “You can talk about what’s going on in your life and laugh and remember it the next morning and feel like you’re yourself the whole time.”

Trying to find memories is like looking for treasure. You look at the surface and see something mediocre, but you dig deep and find something cool, pretty, and meaningful. It took a while to think of a fond memory, but once I thought of some, it was hard to choose a favorite. Growing up I have had many great experiences in the form of vacations. Between going to Disney World, owning a vacation home, hanging out with my grandparents in Arizona, traveling to Canada and more. They all make amazing memories that I will forever cherish. The vacation spot we go to the most, though, is Wisconsin Dells. A few times I have been allowed to invite friends to come with. When I am allowed to bring friends, it is always a ginormous amount of fun. We goof off in the hotel room, play in the arcades, and swim in the water parks.

My family invested in antique farming equipment and bought multiple tractors. We got involved in the Little Log House Pioneer Village, which is a three-day-event of tractor parades and flea markets.Eventually my family started hosting a hay ride party for my Mom’s co-workers.We wanted to share how we live in country and show off how beautiful it is outside of the city.

One thing I used to love to do when I was little was put on my bathing suit and play in the creek with my cousins and two sisters. We would hunt crawdads and lizards. We tried to go up or down the creek as far as we could without getting in trouble. We had a tire swing to swing over the creek. We also made mud pies and mud castles. A bunch of us always made mud balls to throw at each other. The amount of imagination you get when you mix going into the woods with a bunch of people is crazy. We always make up games to play when we are in the creek, like villains and heroes.
