The gigantic group, including my aunt’s friend’s family, finally heads off to Silver Lake. Everybody was excited about the trip. Due to all of the noise from my little cousins, I was kind of annoyed. As we came near to our destination, I could sight numberless sand dunes by the road. After being in the car for more than two hours, we arrived at Silver Lake. When I came out of the car carrying my bags, everybody was already busy doing their own job. I felt like I needed to do something to help others, so I set out looking for some work. I heard one of my little cousins crying, which sounded like he needed somebody’s help. Therefore, I knew my job would be to take care of the little ones. I took them to a playground near our campsite and explained the rules that they should do or shouldn’t do. I felt like a …show more content…
It was getting considerably darker, so I just told my older cousins to take the little ones back home. I played for a couple of minutes with that little cousin, but as time passed, it became so dark that I could barely sight a few objects near myself. I was scared, embarrassed and also horrified. I could view nothing but my aunt’s friend who has been supervising us while we were playing. All of a sudden, we lost track of the way we had been walking on. However, none of us knew where it was. What had happened was that I was following her and she was following me. Despite all the terrifying thoughts remaining in my brain, I visited all of the campsites walking by and asked for a map and a flashlight. Fortunately, we lent a flashlight, so we knew who was walking near us. Suddenly, I heard noises and voices from the back of us. I prayed to God that they were hopefully the ones looking for us. From being squeezed so tight, my hand became so white. They were my cousins and uncle. I was so satisfied when I met them that I fell on my
“I’ll get the paddleboard on the rocks,” I called up to Mason. He was already halfway up the stone stairs that led up the hill. I leaped up onto the first stair, and bounded up the hill, jumping two stairs with every stride. I was overjoyed to be in Northern Michigan on Long Lake, the largest of the twenty inland lakes in Long Lake Township. My hockey teammate, Mason, had invited me up to his amazing lake house.
When I made a lucky catch, I learned what carelessness could cost you. I was around seven years old at the time, and I played baseball for Lakeview Playground. It was my first year of playing hardball, and like everyone else, I had no knowledge of what was happening. Our team name was the “Grey Sharks,” only because our jerseys were
At first, I followed the edge of our property line until I came to a little trail in the weeds that looked like it been made by a deer or another good-sized animal. It descended gently down the escarpment at first, but then I had to quicken my step as it became a little steeper, eventually taking me right down to the Genesee River. The river itself wasn’t as wide and as deep as I thought it would have been, and in spots it looked like you could cross without needing the aid of a bridge, the water perhaps coming up as high as my waist. But that was most likely because it was August and the heat wave we’d been experiencing had the area gripped in a drought. I had followed the river’s rocky shoreline for a little ways while listening
So after our visit to Cedar Lake we set off on our way to the badlands. Now this isn't going to be like the kind of story where i talk about our amazing time their and skip all the driving. This is about the trip their and the many of complications but many of miracles. Our trip to the badlands is one of the most inspirational parts of this entire book. Their are many of places and times when God really reveales himself to us and shows us his great mercy.
I had no idea about what I was going to find in Little Rock. First of all, I have been enjoying my groups company, I feel that we’re more close and united after that trip. Therefore, I liked a lot traveling there with them and I also adored the highway. It’s wonderful to admire nature while you are on the road, it reminded me some speedways in Mexico. For me, one of the most interesting places there was High Central.
" It is nice finding that place where you can just go and relax. " words by Moises Arias. One of my favorite places to go is Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Every year for the Fourth of July and Labor Day weekend the whole entirety of my family take a vast round trip together. The reasons it is my favorite place is because of my family, the round trip there, and not having to worry about anything else.
Trips to Lake Tahoe are like an ancient, sacred ritual for my family; much like some families that slice into a turkey at Thanksgiving, my tightly-knit family journeys to Tahoe annually. The beauty and majesty of nature draws us like bees to honey. The fresh water and high altitude makes my thoughts clear, and cleanses my soul. The yearly trip signifies the start of my year, and makes me ponder the changes and concurrencies of my life. Packing for the trip is like second nature for me now, and I memorized our path.
I grew up in a city called Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Population was approximately 200,000 which is considered the largest city in South Dakota. It was relatively small for me, because I do consider myself a city girl. Growing up in Sioux Falls was rough, the four season weather was always bipolar and you never knew what to expect from it. The city itself is urban, with many tall buildings downtown.
Hi Penny, The class is still going on. I was asked by Sergio and John to cut the class back to only the US VPs. The short answer that was given to me was to cut travel cost and expenses. Sergio asked me to make plans to go to Mexico and Canada to work with Howard and Roberto and share the lessons learned during the April meeting.
We started walking to Walmart not realizing it was that far away. At first everything was good, there was people in cars passing us so we could have some light then we took a turn and it was complete darkness. Thank God we had Nolan with us to protect us if anything happened because it was just three girls and one guy. After walking for about 15 minutes on that road, we started to seem a light appear from the distance. It was Walmart.
so she kind of ran back into the hut. We heard from inside the hut “there’s someone out there “and then some squeals. As soon as we heard that we knew we had to move so we all shuffled on our bellies to the next bush. I was at the end so my bum was sticking out. Chloe, Ella and Rebecca came out of the hut, Chloe and Rebecca looking lied to but Ella was looking freaked out.
The wind puffed into my face as the boat sped across the bay. All of a sudden, the small
I stepped off of the minuscule plane at about 6:00 pm, and I quickly waited in the frigid cold for my bags to be unloaded. I'd been begging my mom for a trip to Lake Clark in Port Alsworth, Alaska ever since 4 years ago when she told me the story how she read about the parks establishment on December 2nd, 1980 when she was only 10 years old. She told me about the history of the Athabascan people who had made Lake Clark their home so many years ago. My mother also told me about the icy flowing waters and the diverse group of animals who make Lake Clark their home. I've been looking forward to coming to this beauty for the past 3 months ever since my mom had finally agreed to let me go.
I stood up and walked to a rocky area further into the woods, i remember how we had tried to make a base out of these rocks for when I had my pretend military battles with my friends and my brother. I looked around at the rocks and just let the memories flood in like a dam had burst, all the fun times we had and how we could make this a better base. I thought about the time we even tried to make a tiny pool in there, all we had accomplished was a tiny hole with water in it... all we could do was dip our feet in, but it was
I stood there, weighing the choices of living or having a good time and I hesitated ever coming to this place. I backed up and I walked down the side of the trail, to see exactly how deep the water was from the side. Everything checked out but there was still this knot in my stomach, it felt like someone with really big hands was using my intestines to practice rope work with boy scouts. I took a deep breath and walked back to the top of the bluff, trying to regain some of my once extensive courage.
