Anna Maria Island One evening in April, we headed to Bishop airport in flint,to fly to Tampa, Florida. When we were at the airport I was so anxious. This was going to be my 5th time flying, so it wasn't that new to me. Our plane arrived at the airport at 8:00 pm and we were boarding at 8:30 pm. The plane ride took about 2 hours and 30 minutes. We finally arrived in Tampa, Florida. My grandma and grandpa picked us up and we hit the road for about another hour. My aunt, uncle, and my two cousins were meeting us at the house we rented on Anna Maria Island. We crossed a huge bridge that took us to Anna Maria Island. We arrived at the house at midnight.The house had 4 rooms, 3 ½ baths, a big swimming pool with a hot tub, and was right by the ocean.My aunt, uncle, and my two cousins were unpacking all the food when we arrived. My sister and I went straight up to our room, there were two twin sized beds, and a closet. We unloaded and went to bed at 1 in the morning. The next day everyone woke up around the same time, my mom searched up the weather up, it was going to be a hot one, we knew it was going to be a beach day. We packed snacks, put our bathing suits on, and walked to the beach. Right away my cousins and I went to find shells, starfish, and sand dollars, I found a lot of shells, sand dollars, and my goal was to find a starfish, and I did. My mom called us over to eat our lunch, well we were eating our sandwiches on the beach, there were seagulls swooping down to get
It was a nice summer morning we I was all of a suden shoke like turbulence on a plane to wake up. It turns out I slept threw my alarm to wake up for the day. It was about 11:00 am and today we were heading to Florida and our flight takes off at 1:00 pm. You may think that we had time to make the airport in Milwaukee but, we had to drive all the way to Chicago, Illinois because there was no flight for Florida in Milwaukee. Luckily I had packed the day before with the rest of my family so all we had to do was wait for our aunt Lisa to take us to the aiport in Chicago. She showed up five minutes later with a mini van and there was about seven of us jammed in there. It was alright for me because in our family if you called “shot-gun” or “I
Louis. The plan for the day was to drive to the St. Louis Airport and then fly to Salt Lake City, Utah. After that we would take a van and drive to the Teton Mountains and set up a base camp for 2 days than go on our hike. My parents said their goodbyes and give me my ticket I paid for by only picking up walnuts and I go into check in and I get my luggage weighed and my ticket scanned and I go on and wait for our flight at around 8 AM. I met up with my crew and when the time came we made our way into security, got checked, then we finally got onto the plane. I honestly didn’t know what to expect for my first flight. I couldn’t tell what was worse, sitting in a space with two other people or trying to fit myself into that Harry Potter closet they call a
One day me my mom and dad and sister we were driving to my aunt and uncle's house.It was about 3:00 and me and my cousins we were playing football.And my mom and my auntie they were making dinner.And my dad and uncle were watching a baseball game.And then it was time to eat.
When I was 3 years old, just 19 months after my sister was born, we went on a trip to Florida. We had to wake up at about 3:00 a.m. ,because it takes us an hour to get are luggage in the truck and to get everyone up and dressed. Our truck was a black Suburban. It took an hour and a half to get the airport, an hour or two to get our 3 bags of luggage on the plane,to get breakfast,to get coffee for my Mom, Dad, Nana Pat, and, Papa Daryl. Finally, we got a security check for all of us.
It was the day after my sister's Quinceanera, and all my family was here. They were leaving back to their homes Monday morning, so keep in mind it is Sunday. All of our parents were talking outside and saw that us kids didn’t really have anything to do, so they decide to take us to a river that was 5 minutes away from my aunt's ranch. We packed up all our food and stuff and went right away.
This summer, in the first week of August, we went to Brighton, Michigan. I along with my grandma Sharon, my same age uncles: Logan and Cole, and my brother Hayden were all going. At 10:30 AM we left, getting into her in her car piling our stuff in. This consisted for me of 3 books, a deck of cards, a stick of deodorant and a few changes of clothes. I finished the first book, Rangers Apprentice The Lost Stories, about three hours down the road and halfway through it we stopped at the Iowa I-80 truck stop, the world's largest truck stop, for lunch. After that I talked with Cole for another two hours. We stopped at a rest stop just out of Chicago and stretched out our legs. from there it was a straight run up into Michigan and from there into
I thought the water was cold and the salt burned my eyes. Since the salt hurt my eyes we walked to the beach store. They had every thing you would dream of at a beach.We bought some goggles and we also purchased a boogie board. When we got back from the store we thought it was a good time to eat because we were dry. After we ate we went back down to the beach. I put my goggles on and I got my boogie board and I had a blast! I found some really cool shells. After we got some shells we brought them up to our parents. We put them on a towel and when we came back we noticed that some of the shells moved! We all freaked out because we did not know what happened. I watched them for a bit and realized that they were hermit crabs! We returned them to the Gulf and kept swimming. We Went out to dinner at this alligator place. They had real alligators outside the restaurant! We went inside and ate. I had some chicken with fries. We got a appetiser that had the alligator. I really wanted to try it and see what it taste like. I took a bite and liked it! I took a bite of my chicken and I could not taste a difference. After that we went mini golfing. I came in second and my Grandma came in first. She golfs on like a real
The second day we went back to Shell Island and we found all types of shells and we got 10 sand dollars and they were everywhere. That day my mom and her friend didn't want to put on sunscreen and the turned red like a lobster they looked so funny . The last day we went back
One day my family went out o a really big boat to go to a snorkeling location by Puerto Rico. Fisherman where not aloud to go fishing where we where snorkeling. While we were snorkeling my dad stepped on a sea urchin, it was so not pretty. After snorkeling we went to get ice cream. It wasn't ordinary ice cream it was hand made ice cream! I had a monster cookie waffle cone. It was so delicious I could die. The next day my family went surfing. It was hard at the beginning because all the waves would nock you right off
During Christmas break my family and I went to Disney World in Florida. It was my first time on a plane and my first time going to Disney World. After a horrible hour long flight to Chicago with my three younger siblings, my parents began to get a little annoyed. So my mom decided to tell us stories about her grandparents. After the layover in Chicago, and the two hour flight to Orlando, we were finally in our hotel room. After a long night with no sleep because of all of our excitement, we got ready and got on our bus on our way to Hollywood Studios, one of the parks in Disney World. While we were on the long bus ride, I became bored. Then I remembered when we were talking about my great grandparents the other day so I asked my mom if she

It was March 27, 2016; my family and I were all leaving to go to Las Vegas for Spring break. We finally left at 9:30 am and are plane was leaving around 11:45. We were in the car for about 2 hours to go to Des Moines. My sister and I sat together while Jeff and my mom were sitting behind us on the plane. All I did on the plane was sleep and listen to music.
I remember the day so vividly, like it was yesterday. My family and I lived in a small, two story house, in the middle of town. I woke up that morning, for my very first day of school. I got out of bed and walked past my little brothers room, then past my parents and to the bathroom. I showered, brushed my and then my teeth. I walked back to my room and got ready for my first day of school. I had just turned three and my mom wanted to put me in preschool right away. I walked down the spiral staircase, ( my favorite part of the house). When I got down stairs my mom was making breakfast. My little sisters and brother awake, with my mom down stairs waiting for me. My younger brother and sister were waiting at the table for me.
My Aunt was sitting on the couch and was saying “hi” to mary and my mom and dad who were still taking of their shoes.They were surprised to see me already on the floor with patrick and the building blocks Patrick got out.My uncle came in sweaty a little bit after that because he was on a bike ride around the lake and back to the house.My other uncle was on the deck outside with my dad who quickly noticed and turned around to put on his shoes.Then he went out the front and took the trail back to the back deck.They were talking and looking at the water out passed the back yard and petting the dog that came over from the next door neighbors.I was watching them from the inside of the house with the blocks in my hand building taller and taller.We started to work together building a giant castle,When we were finished we got a camera and took pictures of it.We had get a few pictures because it was about the size of the living room which was small for a living room but big for a castle. I went outside after the dog went back inside his house because he was really big and tall.When we headed outside to play some mini golf in the yard. After that match was over my sister won and I lost.My cousin ended up being better than I had hoped but I couldn 't end up winning anyway because of my sister Than we all got on our bathing suits and ran down to the staircase. We all felt the cold and spine chilling water before jumping into the
