got swallowed by its own current wrapping around the rocks. “Here we go!” McFly yelled over the powerful current. Everyone began to row their hearts out, putting so much focus into making a rhythm like a beautiful orchestra.

THE CAMPING DISASTER “Where is he?” demanded Annabelle. Her wavy long strawberry blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail so she looked even stricter than usual. Her deep sea of freckles and bright blue eyes added a playful flair to her look. It was a bright sunny day and Annabelle was waiting for her boyfriend Jackson. Brianne, her best friend, was pacing beside her, muttering “He’s usually not this late. He should be here by now.” Annabelle was now more annoyed than worried

As a child I spent a lot of time with my pap, hunting and fishing or going camping to Lake Wallenpaupack or just getting off the school bus and staying at his house.
