When I was Almost Kidnapped

On a Winter day, when I was about six years of age, we were hanging the Christmas lights in the front yard. When we finished, my mom let me stay outside and play in the snow for a little longer than I was supposed to.

While I was running in circles, catching snowflakes on my tounge,a van stopped in front of my house. A guy was starting to come out of the van.

Just then, my mom looked out the front door. The guy got back into his van and sped off. If it were not for my mom, I would probably not be here today. I love my mom very much.

My Knee Injury

On a saturday in October, my family and I went to the Ried's bonfire in Crete. We pleyed hide and go seek tag the whole time.

One of the times I was hiding, my brother found me. I started running from him. I ran between two trees, and I fell. I was holding my knee in pain because between the two trees was a brass birdbath. I had cut my knee open, but I did not need stitches.

This injury kept me out of my football game the next day. In the game, Mark Seymour ran the ball up the sidelines and was tackeled. He tripped and ran into me. That kept me out of even more games.

Now all I have left to remember it is my scar.

Easter Vacation

Every year, during Easter Vacation, my family and I go to Florida. We travel with the Kelly family they are family friends. They are also our neighbors. We started going down to Florida three years ago. However, we have only been there twice, as a family, baceuse last year, on Holy Thursday, my grandma died. This kept us from going. My grandpa is now living with us, and we plan to go this year.

The Kelly family, on the other hand, has been going there for, I think, thirteen or fourteen years.

In Florida, we do many things. For example, we go to the beach, go to Disney World, play football, play baseball, play basketball, and go swimming.

I love going to Florida because we drive down, and we go through the mountains.

In conclusion, we drive to Florida every Easter Vacation, or we at least try.
