    I absolutely love scary things. For example, I love haunted houses. Every year my family goes to the Safe House haunted houses at Tech. I usually bring a friend of my choice. Well, last year I brought Kaela Blais. She’s not into scary stuff like I am. When we went in the first haunted section, we walked about halfway down the hallway and she started crying. So I ended up walking out with her and my little brother and cousin came with us cause they were scared too. I had to comfort her on the way down and we sat in some chairs and waited for the rest of my family. I really wanted to go in the haunted house but I didn’t want to leave Kaela. We ended up finding two other of my friends and we went in this house that was for little kids and it was lame, but fun. In one of the hallways there was bubble wrap all over the floor and that entertained us a lot. Me and my friends had a lot of fun…

    Great Wolf Lodge Weekend

    We spent most of the weekend at the indoor water park. There were two different slides where all four of us could ride in one raft. My favorite ride was the Howlin’ Tornado, which dropped riders into a six-story funnel in the beginning. Once you are through the funnel, it throws you back and forth up thirty feet on each side while spinning you around in circles. It was a real rush! We all enjoyed the Slap Tail Pond wave pool, which had three-foot waves every few minutes. We rode the waves on a tube for part of the time and then relaxed in the edge of the water the rest of the time. Fort Mackenzie was a neat four-story interactive tree house with two smaller twin slides called Totem Towers on one side. At the very top of the Totem Towers, there was a giant bucket that filled up with water nonstop. Once the bucket was full, it would dump 1000 gallons of water over the entire tree house and everyone around it. There was so much water spraying from every direction that it was impossible not to get drenched. It was fun and exciting to anticipate when the bucket would empty again.…

    In its modernity, Halloween is the only day out of the entire year where a person is encouraged to be someone wildly different from themselves, with (almost) no negative repercussions. Thus, people tend to outdo themselves when it comes to crafting their "persona" for the night, taking much of their inspiration from movies, video games, the news, and even Internet memes to build the greatest costumes.…

    On the day of Halloween, my family and I decided to attend one of the many things to do in El Paso which was a fall festival. We had a lot of fun playing games, getting on rides, and eating delicious food. We heard of these types of events once in a while but we never knew that they were so fun. While Halloween is one of the most looked forward holidays, many people are stuck with the idea that on Halloween haunted houses, trick or treating, or parties are your only options. This leaves people believing that El Paso is too boring, even on an eventful day such as Halloween. My family and I had the freedom to choose one of the many things to do on Halloween, and the Fall Festival was a very pleasant…

    When I lived in Michigan, one of my fondest memories was going to Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio. We lived over 3 hours away so it was a perfect day trip. When we reached Cedar Point Road, Lake Eerie was to the right and along the horizon seventeen roller coasters stood high as sky scrapers. As we entered the park we were greeted by Snoopy and the Peanuts gang. The park was soon filled with children laughing, parents pushing strollers, and adrenaline junkies looking for the next thrill. As the aroma of sugar candy coated apples filled the air, we dashed to the snack shop for candied apples and cotton candy. We enjoyed our sugary treats on the Giant Wheel which is known as North Americas largest Ferries Wheel. Coming off the Giant Wheel we find ourselves entering Snoopy town, where Snoopy and the gang entertained the audience with music and dance. As the show ended, we decided it was time to ride some coasters. The first coaster we rode was the world’s fastest coaster the Top Thrill Dragster which slingshot us from 0 to 120 mph in less than 4 seconds and in 15 seconds we were spiraled up 420 feet and back down to the finish line. We soon found ourselves wet on Shoot the Rapids the wettest water coaster that took us up and splashed us down. It was refreshing as the temperature was rising. Now we were at the end of the park and to our amazement stood the world’s largest wooden roller coaster. Its handsome and elegant architecture was admirable to look at. Aboard this coaster we were rocketed through the hills and turns, just like life, full of ups and downs. Above all Cedar Point Amusement Park is fun for all ages. It clearly left me with a lifetime of memories, to return home to Maui and share with loved…
