S'more

fresheners smells of pine triggering my memory of picking out my first christmas tree. As I walk through the market different smells provoke different memories from long ago. Even the smell of burning fire reminds me of roasting marshmallows and making s’mores with my cousins out by the fire pit.

The scent of food can not only be…

It was a weekend the girls had been looking forward to for a long time. Phoebe, Betty and Reagan had organized a short camping trip at a state park not far outside of their town. As soon as the choir rehearsal ended on Friday afternoon, the girls hopped into Reagan’s car and began their vacation. All three of the girls were talented and passionate musicians, ranking highly in the top choir and band of their school, and would never dream of missing a rehearsal. After an exciting hour in the car,…

had not worked out. We wanted to provide the children with a field study day out at Miquelon Lake Provincial Park. There they could explore wildlife in their natural forested habitats, use the microscopes to look at tree leaves, and of course have s’mores. In addition, a nature walk to identify trees would have been exciting. The weather unfortunately was not on our side and so we had to perform a complete overhaul on the program. Derrick and I switched gears to an outdoor segment where we…

Ever since I was eight, I would travel to an all girls camp, during the summer, called “The Summer Camp”. The trip was an 8 hour death ride from Manhattan, New York City to Washington, Maine. The first time I arrived, I hated it, because campers could not obtain electronic devices, as mentioned before, Maine was far from my home, and lastly, my comfort zone was an urban, fast pace city, not the woods. Additionally, the camp had schedules to follow. Breakfast started at 8 am and ended at 9:30 am,…

Heever and the Camping Trip of Troop 129 There once was a boy. His name was Heever, a boy scout that was around 10 and very close to 11. His troop 129 was going on a camping trip. He was very excited for the camping trip. However, Heever was a very clumsy boy. All the troop said that he shouldn’t go to the trip because he always brakes stuff. He is very scared of sharp objects, so he couldn’t help half of the time. Heever ignored his troop, but since he ignored them, that is where the trouble…

Back at the other table, Polka Dot started talking to Mom but Mom is too engrossed with whatever she was doing on her laptop. Polka Dot appeared to be coloring in her coloring book. I realize that that day was a Double Star Day, which means you get double the number of star rewards you would get on any other day. At this time, I make a mental note to mobily purchase a drink before I leave. A woman in a red jacket walked in with a baby boy in a stroller. The baby boy picked up a product that was…

My Northern Michigan Adventure Every year my family and I go up to our favorite place, Rogers City Michigan. Rogers City is a small town at the edge of Michigan right on the water. It is a place to relax and unwind for a while. The small city offers quaint shops, delicious places to eat and friendly people. We stay right on the shores of Lake Huron just outside of Rogers city. Where the waves crash and the sand beckons you to come frolic in the sun. The days leading up to the trip are almost on…

I have a friend named Logan who I have been friends with since about the third grade. We have been pretty much best friends for that whole time. Out of all my other friends he is the one who I can trust the most. He is the one who has spent the most time doing fun things with me. Like last summer he invited me to go to the Black River. Until he invited me I had no idea what the Black River was. The Black River is a pretty small river in comparison to the Kaskaskia or the Meramec. The river is in…
