I finally went to sleep
I finally went to sleep
When all kind of got bored in the woods because of all of the tree roots and sticks we were tripping over so we decided to got back on our way back we ran into the creek we used to play at when we were little and we started to jump across it for a bit. We started to play tag and when i tried to jump to the other side of the creak my telephone fell out of my pocket into the water! I jumped into the water and picked it up and told everybody I had to leave and they all decided to go with me.…
Now that hunting season is over, its almost time for ice fishing. I have been ice fishing for as long as I can remember. I love catching fish especially through the ice. I think its a really fun and different way to catch them. I participate in a few derbies each year.…
There isn’t anything more breathtaking than going Up North. If you’re not from Michigan you might be wondering, “Where up north?” In Michigan we use “up north” as a term for the upper half of the mitten, I’d say from the top of the thumb up. The UP (Upper Peninsula) can be considered Up North but normally it's just the UP.…
We're driving to Tenaha to go see my aunt, because my dad hasn't seen her over two years. While we are driving we have the radio on listening to Hot Station 96.3, minutes later I hear the sirens going off through the radio. Afterwards I get a text message from my cousin kimberly saying that a Tornadoe is going to hit Shelby County in a half an hour. I show my parents the message kimberly had sent me, and my dad immediately turned around and drove to my uncles house who was the closes, we tell him what's going on. He lets us in his house so we can tke shelter, we quickly gather wood and nails so we can put them against the windows so when the Tornadoe goes by there won't be so many glass broken inside the house.…
I miss them already. Despite the freezing cold snow and the nipping air, we had a lovely Christmas break. As I inspect my child, now grown with children of her own, holding tickets back to their home, longing envelopes me. Hoards of people push past, unaware of my pain, on their own schedules and heading toward different trains, talking and texting on their cell phones. My family boards, time as if in slow-motion, and waves goodbye until I see them again.…
On the night I turned forty-four, I realized Polaris was not sprawled upon my blanket like usual. Castor was missing too. The chaos of sheets on his side was a signal for another one of his work days. “Castor, I’m up," I called.…
As we sat and ate our supper I heard thunder and lighting so I checked my phones weather. An severe weather alert was sent to my phone stating that a tornado was heading our way and bigger in size, shape, and distance. We rushed and finished our food before it got close. I finished first so I went to get the bikes off of the hill…
What I find beautiful is something that catches my attention. Say I am walking down the street and see a mural of some sort; I am not going to stop and take a break for just any painting. I stop and look because it catches my attention. Usually being something that I am interested in. Going with that it has to catch my emotions.…
The lights flickered and then went off, then the sirens started, it was coming, we knew it wouldn't be the last time a tornado was going to hit our little town again. We knew we were going to hear those sirens again. Everyone was running around like chickens without a head, because this one of the biggest tornadoes we have had. My family and I were getting so worried because my dad was at football practice, across town.…
1. On Wednesday, January 3, 2011 in Arkansas there was a blizzard that had cut the power, and if you tried to go outside you couldn 't, because the snow was blocking the doors. I was playing a game on the tv ,and then all of a sudden the power had cut off. I had got mad ,because I had just passed this really hard part, and I didn 't save the game yet. And I knew that I would have to redo that part again.…
There was no time for a break, we were off to the next one. By “one”, I mean roller coaster, but this wasn’t just any other roller coaster, this was the Dragster. The record breaking, rapid and towering Dragster which was located at the amusement park Cedar Point, in Ohio. I watched my friends walk briskly in front of me anticipating the next thrill. We were walking with Baylee in front, Abby following her, Tiffany next, Megan after her, and Alyssa dragging behind with me.…
A Slippery Situation Every year, during the New Year holiday, my family goes on a ski vacation. The location varies, but this year we decided to travel to Vail, Colorado. There we met up with some friends of my parents. I have skied since I was very young. Every since I was little, my parents put my sister and me into ski school.…
Fresh air at last. As I stepped out of the bus, my lungs took in cold air. My teeth were chattering, my hands were stuffed deep in my pockets. How cold is it going to be on the mountain? Step after step, we crossed the parking lot.…
If you ask me if I only have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go aboard, where I will choose to go? I will answer without any hesitation, "the Antarctic." Compare to others places, going to the Antarctic is a feeling of adventure or expedition because it is widely described as the last true wilderness on earth. The Antarctica is the highest, driest, coldest but also the remotest, quietest, purest land on the planet so that I want to feel how cold and pure it is. And the most attracts me is that no human population is native to the Antarctica, but the only residents are animals.…
A Winter’s Tale Bags, suitcases and clothes were all scattered around the house. We were all trying to get ready for the upcoming trip and we were so unprepared. Us kids, we’re just stuffing shirts, pants, socks and whatever we needed and mom and dad were ready a day before, but we were not, sadly. Zipping up the last of suitcases, we headed to Burlington coat factory for ski pants and coats. We made payment on the clothing and went back home.…
