The Recipe for Disaster
My first memory that I remember is when I messed up. I was around four years old when I tried to be cool and follow in my brother’s footsteps. My brother Dustin and I were riding bikes outside doing tricks and having fun. He would do a trick and I would try and copy him.

During the procedure, the only thing I can recall is the terrible pain and silent screams that were uttering out of my mouth.

My thoughts were that it was better than being stuck inside all day. In the preparation of the trip, my brother and I got on our warmest boots, hats, and gloves, then we put on our snowsuit, and on top of that our jackets, like frosting on a cake. When we got outside, we found that our …show more content…

I remember family members and family friends coming over to watch a Super Bowl featuring the Packers vs. another team, but I can’t remember the name of the other team. My brother, my two “cousins”, their names are Dale and Julie, and me went outside and took turns driving the ATV on the icy lake. My brother went first, then Dale, then me, and finally Julie. Dustin performed the best out of the four of us and Julie performed the worst, she almost flipped the
