The Special Gift

The Special Gift
On  December 25th I woke up and went into my living room to find my little brother,digging around in the presents I asked him what he was doing, so he told me he was about to start opening the presents I told him to wait till everyone gets up.  Thirty minutes later he was waking me up, and everyone else.  When he finally got us all in the living room there was one particular gift my little brother had his eye on so I told him he could open that one.  He grabbed the gift and set it down in front of all of the family we all had a strange look on our face then I read the gift tag, and it read from parents to kids.  All the kids took part of unwrapping the present when all the wrapping was off we told my little brother he could take out the present since he was the one who found it, and couldn’t wait to open it he opened the little box, and inside was a piece of copy paper that had a huge slide with a person coming down, and beside it was another picture that had a red, and blue whale tail.  Underneath the pictures was a note that said on June 25th you will go on a Cruise.  I was so shocked, not only do I get to go with my family, but my best friend’s family is coming with us!  I can’t wait till June 25th! After all the gifts were opened my family and, I went to my grandpas we ate lunch, and opened more presents, and had a great Christmas! Now I know why my little brother couldn’t wait to open that special gift.

Sweet Home Alabama

                                        Sweet Home Alabama     

“Wake up!” I heard someone yell at 4:30 in the morning, it was Madi S. waking me up to go to Orange Beach, Alabama.  After everyone got loaded up in the car, Madi and I took a nap.  When we woke up it was eight hours into our trip, and we went into a tunnel that was under water!  It was really loud because every driver in there was honking!  Inside the tunnel there were stop lights, and the tunnel was so long you couldn’t even see the end until you were at it. When we got out of the tunnel we watched a movie.  Then an hour later we arrived at our condo in Orange Beach, Alabama.  Our condo was a huge green building with eight different floors.  There were also two elevators and they were really slow. When we finally got to the beach, we got on our boogie boards and floated around.  The fish would not leave our feet alone!  I accidentally stepped on one.  We stayed a whole week in Orange Beach, Alabama, and had a ton of fun!  On our way home we went back under the underwater tunnel, and once again everyone was honking….so we did to!  It nine hours and thirty minutes to get there but the drive was totally worth it.  I defiantly  want to go back to Orange Beach, Alabama next summer to have even more fun! Going to Alabama was defiantly my most memorable moment of my summer!
