A Summer Highlight

     My summer was not too exciting. Most of the time I was either inside playing my Xbox or outside playing with my brother or sister. Sometimes I would go to my cousin Wayne and Brandon's house to hang out, but that was most of my summer. I did not do anything special like go somewhere outside of the U.S., I didn't even leave outside of state. Even though I did not make too many great memories that I will cherish, I did have an amazing time camping that I will remember for a while.
     About a week after my birthday, my family and I went camping, I forgot the name of the site. My mom went all out with this trip, she pack the car to the brim with anything we might need, we did not even use almost half of the stuff. She reserved one of the cabins, and although I really enjoyed the cabin, I was quite uneasy at night. There was a bee hive stuck on the outside of my window, so I assumed that I could get stung on my way to the showers in the early morning. There was plenty of activities to do when we were there. There was a large open field where I could play with my brother, there was canoeing, every night there would be music, it was great. If only I had brought my football there could have been another thing I could have done in my spare time there. By spare time I mean the time that I was not with my family the entire time.
     The worst part, in my opinion, of the trip was probably the canoe trip. My family and I all got in a canoe, or kayak, at the camp site. We were supposed to get off at the 4 mile point, which is what my mom paid for, but we missed that mark and had to go down another 9 miles. It was exhausting, we spent so much time arguing which way to row the boat, and it got really awkward when our boat met up with boats from a different camp site. We followed them back to their site so we could get picked up by my mom's friend and in that time our boat flipped, twice, we lost my sister, who was in a kayak, down the river thrice, and my brother lost his glasses. Even though that part of the trip was a total loss, I still had a lot of fun.
     I hope that next year's summer vacation will be just as, if not better, thank the last.
