Turkey Run-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
The most eventful thing I have done this summer was going to Turkey Run. It’s two hours away from Wheatfield, and it’s in Marshall. The drive was pretty long on the way there, my mom had to run an errand or two and then we went to McDonalds for lunch. Then we just continued our drive there. We entered a different time zone on the way there, it was an hour ahead than the time here in Jasper County. When we got there, we explored the place. Once we finished exploring, my mom, my brother and I went horseback riding. The ride was about an hour long and the forest was really pretty. I saw some squirrels, a bunny, and a deer. The horses are really smart and they know the whole trail. They even know where to go when they get back from the trails, all we had to do is steer them every once in awhile. It was really easy. After the horseback riding, we went hiking for the rest of the day. When we got back to the cabin, I was really tired and fell asleep almost instantly. It had been a fun day, though. The next day we woke up at about 9am and got breakfast. Everybody got the buffet, but me, and I ordered pancakes with strawberries and it also had whipped cream and syrup, with sausage too. I also had my mom get me a few things from the buffet. Once we finished eating, we checked out of our cabin, but we could still do …show more content…

When we finished canoeing, that’s when we changed our clothes because they were wet and got in the car to head home. We went to a restaurant and ate before we continued our trip back home. The trip was pretty fun, I didn’t really mind most of it, but the only part I didn’t really like was that there wasn’t internet in the

    When I first met the man that would become my husband, I told him that there was something that he needed to know about me. “I don’t jump”, I said. “I don’t throw, hit, or catch and I definitely, definitely don’t run”. It was important for me to tell him this, as this meant that at cookouts there would be no horseshoes or volleyball, there would be no office picnic baseball and there definitely, definitely would be no charity 5K runs or any other races. All of this was true, until I decided to run a marathon.…
