Summer at My Grandparents

“The best things in life are the people we love the places we’ve been…. And the memories we’ve made along the way.” by Unknown. 2017 started off terrible but then soon got better from a little help from God. My family found out we won a trip to Hawaii. My parents were deciding whether or not they should take us kids with, my brothers Chris was 18, Matt was 11, Nic was 8, and I was 15. Then my parents talked and the decided that it would be our last family vacation with just our family saying chris went to college the next year and probably will find a girlfriend. Hawaii I know made me look at life a different was saying everything that just happened to me.

Another great memory I had was when I went to Myrtle Beach with my mom, grandma, and older brother Vincent. We stayed in a horrible motel it stunk, had bugs, and a small shower but we made the best of it. One day while we was there we were walking on the pier and this disabled man in a wheelchair was fishing and caught a baby shark and he stopped me to show me what he had caught, and he asked me if I did not mind would I throw the shark back in the water and i looked at him like he was crazy and he told me it was okay to pick it the shark up as long and I did not touch near his mouth, so I go

One early morning me and my family went to mexico.WE were on the road for two days.Once we were at my grandma's house me and my brother went to look at my aunt and uncle's horses.In mexico it was a lot of fun reiding horses and watching my unkles rope.One other fun thing to do was driving motorcicle and playing with the dog’s.

One of my favorite memories with my grandpa is sledding. This might sound silly but I've always loved it. I remember one particular day though it was about twenty degrees out and a fresh blanket of snow had fallen, I wasn't just any

When I was about 10 years old my family and I took a vacation to Florida to see my great aunt Linda. It was a 14 hour drive down to Florida which is a long time in the car. We were going down there for a week. For the first two days we went to Sea World in Orlando, Florida. I was very excited to see my great aunt because I have never met her before. I knew that I was going to have fun on this trip.

One beautiful ,sunny spring day when there was nothing to do inside, my brother and I went outside. When we went outside, my little brother asked me if i would teach him to drive a four wheeler. Well at first I denied it, but my mom said to go and at least set on the four wheeler with him. I did and my brother asked if we could start the four wheeler, I said to

On a hot summer day when I was around the age of thirteen, my family and I were having a cook out in our back yard. While the food was being grilled my Uncle Scottie volunteered to drive the children on the four-wheeler. This for us children was the most exciting thing ever. Before the four-wheeler left the yard, he checked the gas. We were running low on gas however; there was enough

One night it was when I lived in Ashwood grove trailer park. It was winter and there was snow all over the ground. My parents and I thought it was a good idea to invite a bunch of people over. We ended up kind having a party. My parents were a little tipsy, so they wanted to bring out our four wheelers.

The first time I drove. So, my grandmother decided to risk here life to teach me to drive for only two blocks. And my grandmother was a horrible teacher because she is used to standard cars and not automatic, so she puts her feet on both the gas pedal and the brake. Anyways, I can't believe that the car seems to go so fast and I was only going 5 mph! And then, I didn't know how to brake and my grandmother almost hit her head on the dash! Luckily, we made it

One year before they moved, my whole family went down there for Christmas. It was snowing a lot that year and my cousin, my little sister, who was a toddler at the time, and I wanted to go sledding. The problem was, there was no good hill. But we didn’t let that stop us! We tied one end of a rope to the sled, and the other end to a four-wheeler. We filled the tank up with gas, and tried it out.

It was last summer around July when my family and I woke up around 7:00 A.M to drive to Mackinaw Island. Preparing for this trip was extremely hectic because we had to pack all of our clothes and food that we wanted for the car ride. We were all in the car around 7:45 with all of our things packed. We locked all the doors up and turn all the lights off. The drive took us about 4 hours to get to St. Ignace. My sisters and I watched a movie during the car ride, read and did homework so that we were occupied during the long car ride. My favorite part when we were driving was probably when we went across the Mackinaw Bridge because, it felt like our car was driving on the bright blue lake which was cool. My mom was frightened to look out the window

Im sure there are many stories I could tell about myself but one particular sticks out to me. When I was about fifthteen we took a family vacation to Tampa, Florida. Usually we drive to our destinations especially in Florida, but this time we were flying. So we woke up early one morning and started to head for the airport. We arrive at the airport and it's still dark outside, little did I know you have to be two hours early for your flight. We made our way through security, coffe shops, subway, and finally a little store with headphones, neck rests, and magazines. We finally board the plane, I made sure to get a window seat. After what felt like forever we landed in Tampa and my aunt and uncle picked us up. My uncle and aunt are locals to

With a .44 Remington Magnum on his hip my uncle, brother and I go searching for the boars. After hours of walking and legs feeling like Jell-O we find nothing but traces of where those dirty animals have been. Suddenly my uncle stops out of nowhere and quiets us as we are walking right behind him. He hears what he thinks is just a family of the boars in a little tree surrounded area. The daredevil I am I volunteer to be the one that pushes them out of their new founded home. I gently and slowly walk up to the bushes making sure I don’t step on anything. I am feet away from where the boars are hiding and all I hear is a loud bang. My uncle takes a shot at a pig he sees in the opposite direction and it spooks all the ones I am feet from. In a wild commotion all the boars get up and are running right at me. We underestimated how many were actually there. In shock at how many were running at me, thinking about how I’m going to be trampled, I froze. I wasn’t able to move my body no matter how much I wanted to. I stood there in shock as I see 30 boars running right beside me. After the crazy commotion calms down I walk back to my uncle and see my brother on the ground dying of laughter after he watching the boars running in my

This adventure that I experienced will always be a memory I am longing to relive. My dad was assigned a business trip for his work, and being the loving man he is, he brought the rest of the family along with him. The entire twelve hour drive I was elated. When we had finally payed the five-dollar

Back in the day, when I remember of me being a child and it was one of the best moment I could think of my childhood that happened in the summer, where good time start it and not too far off that it sound it like that we played in the water and we figured since it is a bit hot outside i was going to six flags and having some fun with our family and friend having an enjoyable time. Few things I would say about my childhood was also the summer time, when the sun was hitting my body my mom used to worry about me a lot so I would not get dark so she would tell me to put sunscreen on all the time even on my face and in front of my friends but back when I was little I did not get what or why she was saying that but now I get it on why. Sometime when I didn’t wear the slippers my feet would burn like I was walking in a fried pan but I were to just walk in grass with my wet feet and then a few seconds later same thing happens again so it was not point of walking in the grass but I still walked. I closed my eyes one time because my mom used to surprise me with friends coming over, going to swimming and having a picnic and playing with the park dogs, it would be so much fun but we had this curfew time to get back home and the only annoying thing was the bugs and bees around us that were biting out skins off and making us scratch and the dirt we use in or the mud that we use to make sand castles out of at the beach. I tried to look up and see if I would be getting some shade anytime
