After rinsing the multitude of worm guts and dirt out of it, we were going to put it back into the lake. My grandparent’s neighbor, Hal, got the chance to come along with me. We vaulted into what we called the “Rhino”, a quad equipped with a driver’s and passenger’s seat.…
Today Kit and i led the group to Izaak Walton lake. I was nervous this morning for taking such a big role. I didn’t want the power to get to my head and end up being mean or over demanding.

I turned away and tried to shake it off. I thought about all the plans I had made the night before and was not going to let that hinder my work.

Yesterday , when I was just strolling along the river during my vacation at a quiet and peaceful resort, a loud noise suddenly came into my ears. I quickened my pace slightly to the place where the noise came from, and found that a white car fell down into the river when the driver was parking his car into the parking space.

But I was so tired, I just couldn’t stand it. I was almost aching with the need for slumber. Just as I started to slip into unconsciousness, a loud, urgent knocking sounded from the door.
