Lake George

A Memoir By Emma

On July 1st 2007 it was when I went in the car because we were going to Lake George. It took two hours but it felt like four hours and all I saw were trees.

Mom was driving. I was playing. I was playing with my toy dog and cat. I brought stuff for my toy cat and dog. We got food at the rest stop. We had Subway.

I slept until we got into the town. We went to Mom’s friend’s house. Then we went in the car to Lake George. We bought a dreamcatcher.

We went to the booth to get tickets. We waited and waited. “Let’s go mom!” I said. We got tickets for the Mini Ha-Ha. It started to rain and then it stopped. We passed the fog and it was fun.

The Mini Ha-Ha is a big, huge boat that gives people tours around the Lake. It is very famous because it has been around for a long time.

It has the special wheel that makes it move. It splashes water around. “Splash! Splash!”

We went home. We had a thrilling time. Now I still use my dreamcatcher from Lake George.

My Thanksgiving Holiday

A Memoir by Carol

On Thanksgiving I got my new dog. He is very small with brown and black fur. It’s a girl but we haven’t named her.

Another interesting thing was that my Dad’s birthday was on Thanksgiving. We had a party outside because it was warm.

We ate a cake that had “Happy Thanksgiving” AND “Happy Birthday” on it. We ate turkey.

I saw the parade on T.V. My favorite part was when the girls danced with candy. They looked like peppermints.

My dad got me a special jumprope on Thanksgiving and a diary and he got a baby who talks.

I liked when the girl sings at the party. My dog was with the girl and she was holding the dog. My dog was perfect. My dad was also so, so, so, so happy!

Thanksgiving

A Memoir by Arianna

On Thanksgiving my aunts and uncle came. It was also me and my mom and cousins. We cooked and we had a huge feast!

When I was cooking it smelled like turkey, cornbread and brownies in the kitchen.

My favorite food was the corn. It was awesome. I loved it.

I saw this table full of stuff! I almost wanted all of the food in one gulp! I tasted the muffins, corn, turkey, cornbread, and brownies.

There was lots of talking at the table. It was peaceful that day and I watched the parade. It was enjoyable.

I played outside with my cousins. We played games, soccer, jumprope, and chess and volleyball. We played so much it was exciting.

I went to sleep and dreamed about the next Thanksgiving.

My Lost Tooth

A Memoir by Christian

When I was playing baseball the guy threw the ball and it hit my tooth.

It hurt a lot! I fell in the sand in the park. I caught the ball and threw it to first base. The guy was out. “We won!”

I went to look for my tooth. It looked just like the sun so I put it in my pocket.

It looked like the sun because the blood and sand turned it orangey and it mixed with the sand. It looked cool so I thought, “Let me put it in my pocket and under my pillow.”

But the next day I forgot and I put it in the wash!

My Trip to Pennsylvania

A Memoir by Elina

I remember a time when I went to Pennsylvania. I was five years old. It took a long time to get there! I played video games and I fell asleep for four hours.

When I got there we went to Sesame Street Place. I was with my cousin, my sister, and my aunt and my mom.

Sesame Street Place is a theme park that has water rides and dry rides. I went on lots of rides.

My favorite ride was the Rubber Ducky ride. The line was soooo long. We told someone so we can go on the ride faster.

I took pictures with Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird.

I ate hot dogs and ice cream and my sister ate a cheeseburger and ice cream and my cousin ate a hot dog too.

It was dark so we had to go back to the hotel. When we got there we fell asleep. I dreamed that I was with my dad.

Going To Georgia

A Memoir by Payge

I went to Georgia last summer and it took two whole days to drive there! “Mom… can I have a juicebox?” I asked during the ride.

At last we were there. “Hey Mom! There’s Brianna’s aunts house!” I said.

I met my cousin named Courtney. She is excited and goofy like me. Courtney has long brown hair. She is eight.

We went in the pool at the hotel. We played in the pool. “Splash!” We were laughing a lot. “Marco!” I said. “Polo!” said Courtney in the big pool. It was awesome playing water tag!

I joked all day and all night till I fell down. Joking is awesome to me every day and every night.

I can’t wait to spend more time there!

My Toy Bus

A Memoir By Jimmy

My toy bus is seven years old. That’s as old as me! I wanted to play with it on the way home. I played with it since that day I opened it.

It helps me remember when I was a baby liking cars. I started liking buses. Then I liked trucks and then cars.

I had about fifteen cars. I made traffic jams with cars and trucks and buses and my first bus. It made noises on wood and tile. It sounded like this, “Vvreshhhtsh!”

I whished around with it. I made it get into an accident. It went CRASH! BANG! BOOM! BONG!
I made policemen and firemen come in a rush! Shhh! Shhh! Motorcycles drove through it.

It was a blast playing with toy cars.
