that surrounds Camp Gilmore happens to be Gilmore Pond. One of my favorite sections of Gilmore Pond is Sandy Beach. You can get there if you walk through a trail deep in the woods. I love going to Sandy Beach with my mom and dad. Sometimes I go kayaking, sometimes I sit and watch people swim and sometimes I splash around in the shallow end with my floaties. Swimming looks fun to me, but it also seems very scary. Instead of swimming in the pond, I like to skip rocks, and look for fish, turtles…

J is for Jamaica I remember that morning at two A.M. on April 13. We were going to Jamaica for my brothers wedding. My brother, Dad, Mom, my moms best friend Cammi, and I were all running around the house making sure we had everything packed and ready to go.

Both Jeremiah Johnson, which I loved, and Into the Wild, which I loved a little bit less, are from the survival genre. For my final…

Huffing and puffing, up the steep hill, we finally make it back to the top. I mosey over to my next clue by the fire pit. This clue states; “Take me to where we can paddle, chat and splash. Hint hint don’t forget your life jacket.” “Are we going kayaking today too?” I screech with excitement. “That’s something we love to do together Ethan said, but you’ll have to wait and see when we get there.” The Dodge pulls in right where I thought we were heading, the Long Arm Dam.

It wasn’t an acceptable answer for either part of the question, but past age five, I couldn’t even answer with that sarcastic response,…

Six Flags was an option, since it had a water park, but it was too far to drive for only a few hours my parents reasoned. Instead we found a place about 40 minutes away in New Braunfels, Texas that offered white water rafting, kayaking, tubing and canoeing on the Guadalupe River. It sounded perfect. After returning to our rented condo to pack food and a change of clothes and drop off the leftover cheesecake, we headed to New Braunfels excited. It was the perfect fun-family activity…
