My Winter Break
My winter break involved driving in the car for a long and painful 40 hours to Wisconsin and 40 hours back while stopping through Champaign, Illinois for New Years to visit friends ( ‘Hope you never have to sit in the back seat with your sister for to hours with nothing to do it is NOT fun.”).On the way there we visited some of are friends in Omaha, Nebraska. I hadn't been there for four years and most of my friends were still there. Then we drove to Wisconsin when we came to our Grandparent’s farm both of my Aunts and Uncles arrived. It was very cold and cloudy but there was no snow.
Instead of a Christmas Tree we put the presents under a giant paper snow ball my Grandpa made containing a present for each of the family that was there. It was Christmas Eve and my Grandma’s Birthday the next day was Christmas l was so excited to give the presents to everyone. The next morning we went down stairs and opened are stockings and see what was in them later we opened the snow ball and my Grandpa had tied long strings to the presents and at the end was a tag with the persons name on it my Grandpa got a large lumpy piece of coal and attached to it was a drill so he also got a present.
Then we stayed for a couple more days and then we set back for home. Then we stopped in Illinois we stayed with some of our good friends. We stayed for two days with them then we left to go back. We visited the place where my mom had lived in Missouri. Finally, we got home to Fort Collins. My trip was full of excitement. I enjoyed it except for all the pain that happened while we visited our friends and I got hit with a magnet. And of course, siting in the back with my sister being all whiny wasn't that great, but all in all the whole trip was fun.
I am so happy to hear about your trip! Except for the part about all the pain in Champaign. I wish it had been a sham pain you had here! You have a magnetic personality that draws all sorts of things to you--I hope that in the future they are mostly all things that do not cause pain!
ReplyDeleteWhen you are bored or annoyed with your family members you should try what I advise my child: Think about how your boredom or annoyance connects you to the millions of people around the globe and down through the ages who felt just the way you do. See! You are not alone! Next you can send yourself some happy thoughts, and while you are at it, send happy thoughts to everyone anywhere who is feeling the exact same way you do at the exact same time. If you have trouble thinking of happy thoughts, you can remember that some day your sister will probably live far away from you and you will miss her terribly and think "If only I could be in the backseat with her again right now!"
Don't believe me? Just you wait!
