Because of My Family
“I can’t believe it! We are going on a family trip to the east coast!” I
have been waiting for this day to come since I was born. When my family was
going on a family trip to the east coast I couldn’t get it off my mind. The reason
for this is that the last time that I went on a trip was about 3 years before.
My whole family was really excited.
“When are we going?” See told you.
The morning of the trip all that happened before we left was… when are
we going on the trip? Or how much longer until we go? When we got to the
airport it was kind of blaw, it was really boring.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
The reason that it was so boring was because we had to wait about three hours
before we can get on the plane. We also couldn’t wander around which I can
understand because what if we get lost? When we got on the plane we were all so
excited.
“Grandma! Grandpa!” we all dashed to them like we were running a three
mile race with the speed of a jet.
“Our grandchildren are here,” they
exclaimed.
“We are so pleased to see you,” my
parents stated.
“Let’s go to our house,” my
grandparents replied. When we got to our grandparent’s house we saw some of our
cousins there. Hi we said as we stomped down the stairs to our room were we
stayed.
When we left Baltimore to go to New, Jersey the ride took forever. When
we got there we saw some more of our cousins. The next day we went to get donuts.
The donuts were so fresh and sweet.
“Can I have another donate?” After
that we went to the candy store. The candy was so tasty, crunchy, and creamy.
After about two days in New, Jersey we journeyed off to New, York. When
we arrived we grabbed our suit cases and charged into the house. Once again…
more cousins. They were so pleased to see us. After all we came all this way to
see them and other cousins. Later we saw a swimming pool in the backyard. We
asked,
“Can we go in the pool?”
“In the morning,” are cousins said.
After we spent the night, in the morning we all darted the pool in their
backyard. I must have gone off the diving board at least a hundred times.
“You call that a cannonball!”
Splash! It was so much fun. Before we left to go to Boston we thanked our
cousin for the really fun and wonderful time we had with them.
When we go to Boston at night everyone was so tired, so right when we
went to our room we all dozed off. Us kids in my family had to share a room
which I have to do at home; at least we didn’t have to share beds.
One day when we woke up our cousins asked us,
“Hey guys do you want to go outside
and toss the baseball around?”
“Sure,” we replied. Our cousins had
this machine thing that throws baseballs at you and you have to try to hit the
balls. We also played an intense baseball game. We all made some big plays in
the game to give the game a big boost. Playing baseball with our cousins was
really fun. Later when we all came inside sweating we played a game on the
computer which my cousin was really good at. The way you play is that you go
around in a car making lines behind wherever you went. If your car bangs into a
line you lose. My cousin won, I don’t know how many times. Playing with our
cousins in any game was really fun.
One day when I was playing I broke my cousin’s thing that he was building.
My cousin was building some sort of house kind of thing that he was making out
of blocks. The blocks can fall down pretty easily, but not that easily. If you
push on it hard or bang into it, it can fall down, and that is exactly what
happened to me. You might say and I am sure you will say that it is completely
my fault. It kind of is my fault but not completely my fault. This might not
make sense to you but it’s true.
“Yes it is!”
“No it’s not! You built it in the
way so we can’t even get through,” I said angrily.
“Yes!”
“No!” I will tell you the truth.
Number one… he built it in the way, and number two is that he built it at the beginning
of the hallway. I scrambled to my room. It happened to be that the same thing
happened to my brother. We were both so furious.
While I was still in my room everyone else was at the park, so I decided
to go along too.
At the park my mind forgot about what had happened. I made some new
friends at the park and we had a blast playing basketball together.
“Nice shot,” I said to one of my
new friends.
“Thanks,” my friend replied.
My new friends were both brothers
who live in the house across the street from where family was staying. I can
tell that they were both about two-three years apart from each other in age. I
even wanted to get back together while we were there. Too bad we didn’t have
the chance to.
I decided to ignore my cousin and try not to break his things again. I
should have explained to him what had happened but I just didn’t have the
courage to tell him. That trip was really fun and I want to go on another. When
you have fun you should make sure that you don’t get carried away, like what
happened to me and my cousin; because you can get in big trouble.
