A Child’s Haven
Looking out the rain stricken window, in hopes to spot the next landmark to tell the distance that remained till reaching the destination, the little girl pondered what wonders this weekend with Grandma would hold. As the boys snored in Dad’s red construction truck, the little girl looked out the window just in time to see the truck merge right off of the busy highway as the rain ceased. After passing acres of grape vines that crept up trellises the rustic barn that housed the airplane, that flew over the crops on sunny days, appeared in the distance. Here is when the excitement grew, knowing soon they would arrive at her favorite place in the whole world. The girls grin grew once her brothers woke, as they made the last left …show more content…
Never could enough of her time be spent there, even during summer break when weeks could be spent with her grandparents in Michigan. The office at the top of the hill had red trim along its green wooden paneled walls, it is where grandmother worked booking campsites. Her family didn’t call it the office, though, they referred to it as the candy store, for it always had a well-stocked candy selection. She was able to buy candy with the change collected in the blue metal tin that set on top of the shelf. In the office there was also an old time snow cone machine with many flavors to choose from, a small old school desk sat tucked into the corner next to a small library, she loved sitting there and talking with Mama when visiting her while she worked. On the grounds there was also a bath house where campers could shower if they didn’t have showers of their own. The stalls of the bath house were covered in old newspapers with a yellowed coating over top. It was different, but she always thought it was cool to read the old articles. Across from the bath house was another building. The building was divided into two separate areas, the laundry room and the game room. All campers were welcome to use the buildings, the laundry room had two washers and two dryers. You could use them by putting coins in for each load. The game room had a pool table in the center, a foosball game in the left hand corner, and a Pacman game to the right. She loved when her brothers, let her play with them. Behind the building which housed the laundry room and game room was the park. This park was the girl’s favorite, it had the tallest red swing set that she had ever seen. It had six swings the hung just low enough for her to climb onto without help. Along with the swings there was a set of monkey bars painted yellow with red rungs that ran the length of it. Besides the basketball court where she could see her big brothers starting a pickup
