My Summer Vacation
This summer I took a trip to
Hawaii with my family. We
went with my auntie , un-
cle, cousin, and her three
year old. We stayed in Ha-
waii for two weeks. The first
week we went to Oahu . We stayed in Honolu-
lu and loved it there. The second week we flew
to Maui. While in Maui we took a drive called
the Road to Hana. The end destination we ar-
rived at was the Seven Sacred Pools. It consist-
ed of seven waterfalls that poured into one
another and ended in the ocean just ahead. It
was my favorite part of the vacation.
Life In The Country
For 15 years I lived in a
small community called
Poplar Ridge. My family and
I moved onto an acreage
there when I was five years
old. It was out there that I learned how to ride
a horse, dirt bike, and build a four story tree
house. Seven months ago my family and I
moved back into the city. The choice was very
hard for my parents to make. My oldest broth-
er lives in Calgary now and my second oldest
brother lives in Lethbridge. Since I am the only
child living at home now, it didn't make sense
to have such a big house. My parents also have
a home in Arizona so they like to go away lots
throughout the year. Leaving three acres of
lawn to be mowed by me was not working out
so well. I miss living out there everyday as this
is the place where I grew up, made best friends
and learned a lot about the great outdoors.
Favorite Hobby
One of my most favorite things to do in my
free time is to cook and bake. I enjoy cook-
ing and baking things such as stir-fry, pasta,
cinnamon buns, and breads. I
acquired this hobby by watch-
ing the Food Network many
years ago and since have be-
come hooked. In the summer
time my favorite things to cook are anything
on the barbeque.
