Thanksgiving

On thanksgiving, we walked into my grandparents house I was greeted by many different species like dogs, lizards, cats... My grandma asked me if I had anything to share and
I said "Yes! I wrote a poem"
"Well go ahead and share it" said my grandma
"Okay"  I said steadily
So I started to read it...

... When I finished reading it everybody made a long pause as I stopped the camera and a wave of clapping came in. I sat there looking at everyone.
Then my dad yelled out "I am thankful for Aunt Debby (my great Aunt)"
"You tell them Scott!"  yelled my great aunt back.

Dune Buggy

There we were on to of the one of  tallest dune buggy  dunes in grand haven, my dad told me we were going to see the dunes but I never knew from this far above. We were seated in a rusty old hot red jeep, with nothing else but a little rope holding us down.When we got to the hills my dad stopped the truck and turned himself around.

"Guys," my dad said "This might be a bit 'WOW' but we need to try new things sometimes." he said softly. A minute later we were Driving up to the top of the hill when,

"Please NO,NO,NO" I said scared to death

"No daddy" squealed my sister. My brother didn't say anything, it looked like he fainted to me.


"Stop complaining and close your eyes cause WE are going down" my dad said in a happy but strict voice. In a second flat I heard the wind whistling in my ear, I could not see what was in front of us because the hill was so steep. My sister snatched my body and hung on. Then I heard nothing my mind went blank the jeep was no longer bumping along the ground.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" my brother said in such a high pitch voice that it was hard to hear, my dad stomped the brakes as my mom opened her eyes she had sand stuck to her face.

"Wow" my mom said in a startled voice, as the jeep screached along the ground when the engine turned off.

"Let's do it again!" My dad hollered.My dad started up the another hill as my mom dusted off her sun glasses.

At that moment when we were driving up the hill I realized that I actually thought that I liked our hill ride it was exciting and I tried something new which was great. And I learned that I can try something new when ever I want!

Dancing Waters (Grand Haven)

It was another night in Grand Haven and we decided to go to the dancing waters it was boring the hole way through, but I will tell you about it anyways! So it started with an array of lights with crudy springs of water spewing out of miniature nozzles. There was fairy tale music from Cinderella playing in the background.
