Personal Narrative Essay: A Trip To The Zoo

Great Essays
It was an ordinary day, with my family going to the zoo. For me it was so interesting and beautiful how every animal acted in a certain type of way. I was with my little sister Grace, my parents, and my beautiful daughter Emily. We had so much fun that day. Feeling the nice hot sun, listening to different animal sounds specially the chirping of the birds. Everything was so amazing. Watching Emily's big hazel eyes in amazement was priceless.

    My First Deer One brisk 30 degree day in January, when I was nine years old, was a day for which I was extremely excited. My dad got me out of school earlier that day, so we could go deer hunting. I had already shot a turkey the year before, so guns were nothing new to me.

At this point we did not have the hunting land that we do today, so we went to my grandpa’s house and hunted in the clearing of trees behind his house.…
