A-Amarillo
One day my dad and I were going to Texas. We woke up very early and had to get dressed and hop in the car to fly to Texas. We had 2 flights. One from Greenville/Spartanburg to Dallas and one from Dallas to Amarillo. We rove to Wheeler. It was hard
to drive that early because I kept falling asleep/ When we got to the airport it was deserted except for the cops and a couple of pilots walking around. There were people who weigh your luggage and put it on the conveyor belt.

We went through all of that and got on our flight to Dallas. The flight was smooth and all you saw wee buildings, cars and roads. Now when we were on the flight to Amarillo, it was very bumpy. But when it wasn’t bumpy, I saw a huge city, then smaller
towns, then country, then only fields.

B-breaking my leg

I was two and I chased my brother and his friend. We were on one of those pretend ship
playgrounds and he was running all around the boat and jumped off. I jumped off and landed.

We got back on it. And ran all over it again. It was so much fun. We played tag. I was it trying to
tag them. My big brother jumped off. His friend did too so I chased them. I jumped up into the air and
landed on my feet but one of them broke so I fell down crying and got a hard cast at two years old.

C-cars
My dad collects cars, mostly BMW cars. He has a green Z3, I think. We call it the
pickle car. It has that shade of green. But this is what I really want to talk about.

The Isetta’s. He has two; one has only one row of seats. The other has 2 rows. The
smaller one is the 300. And the bigger one is the 600. Once my family and I were driving in
the 600 Isetta BMW, and all of a sudden we heard this big loud boom. My dad had pulled up
the gear shift. And he was trying to stick it back in while we were going down a hill. He put it
back in and we kept driving.

D-Disney World
Disney World is so fun. There was so much stuff and things to do in just a little time. I
went on so many rides. There is one I didn’t like. There was no point to this ride. The Stitch
one, so pointless.

There when a couple I loved. The Space Mountain and Mount Everest rides. Space
Mountain was fun because you went very fast and the lights were off. Another thing is you
were completely unaware about the turns, so you could not brace yourself. Mount Everest
was fun because you went backwards and upside down.

E-electric go carts
On Christmas my little brother and I got one of the funniest things – electric
go carts – the razor ones that drift. My little brother and I always have races. I
always win because I am better at drifting. He almost won one race. I’ll tell you
what happened.

One day after the snow melted, Hollis and I went outside. We had a race up
to the Smith’s. We go into their walk way and drift around, then drive down to my
driveway and drift into the driveway and then drift back on the sidewalk three
times. I won because I can drift better.

F-four-wheeler’s
I was at this place called Gun Bluff where we go hunting. My friend Leland
and I were on four wheelers following my brother and his friend. We were
collecting firewood for the fire. There was one problem. There was a mud pit in
our way.

He wanted to go first so he did. I followed him – bad idea! We hit the mud
puddle going as fast as we could go. We got to the middle and I was covered in
mud from getting it kicked up on me. We were only going less that an mile per
hour.

G-great wolf lodge

One trip my family and I went on was to the Great Wolf Lodge. Their water
slides were cool. One of them had a 2 story drop off. The cabins were cool too.
They were huge and had bunk beds. You could also play in the halls.

We went to the park at night and when you went on one of the slides, it was
pitch dark. The Bucket Witch was cool too. It would fill with hundreds of gallons
of water and tip all the water out. When it dumped on you, you would almost fall
down .
H-health
Health was fun at first. We had to do pushups for a minute. Then we had
free play. We did that for 2 days until Wednesday.

You would struggle to understand it, and it was very hard. We had to learn
the scientific words for bones, muscles, veins and arteries. I struggled at first but I
finished. I survived.

I-ice cream
Have you ever gone to Yogurt Mountain? I have. It is yogurt but tastes like
ice cream. You put on your own toppings. You weigh it by ounces. The most I
have ever gotten was at 32 Degrees. That was 7.5 ounces.
It is a smaller Yogurt Mountain. It is a lot closer to my house. Once my
parents and I and my dogs and Lee had to get in the car because someone was
looking at our house. So we got some ice cream and drove around, destination
nowhere!
J-jaws
Have you ever watched Jaws? Well I was 8 or 9 years old when I saw
it. I hated it. It should have never been made. It scared the living poop
out of me.

The worst part was at the beach. We stayed down there for a week.
I saw it on the first day. From that day on I would not go into the water. I
would build sandcastles and play in knee deep water but not far out.

Reflection
I had a great time doing this project. It was
a challenge too. I also liked to do the pictures.
It was a crazy amount of work to. If my mom
didn’t help me I would be swamped. Thank
you mom.
