A Camping Trip
During the summer my family and I like to go camping. For me it is a way to get away from everything that is happening in my life. When camping things are so relaxing and beautiful.
When camping with my family I am always woke up by the smell of breakfast cooking over an open fire. I get dressed and climb out of the tent to see the wonderful outdoors. Once breakfast is finished cooking, we all sit in our lawn chairs and eat. I don't know what it is about bacon and eggs cooked over an open fire but they are so much more mouth watering than when cooked at home. As soon as we are all done eating, everyone pitches in to help get things cleaned up, so we can head off to do the things we each want to do.
After doing my part, I like to take a walk along the trails in the woods. The trails are so beautiful and each one unique. There are so many different kinds of trees and flowers, each with their own smell. The smell of the pine trees is like the smell of a real Christmas tree at Christmas time. The flowers so bright and colorful remind me of a rainbow on a sunny day after it has rained. These walks are so peaceful and relaxing, they make me forget about everything, including time.
As soon as I get done with my walk, I am ready to go join my family in the river. At the river I always just run and jump into the water. It always feels so refreshing after the walk, no matter how cold it is. Sometimes I like to float on my back and let the
current take me down the river a little way, that is, until it gets so shallow I drag on the rocks. Then I walk or swim back up river, just to do it all over again. When I get tired of swimming, I either lie out on the slab, a concrete bridge that goes over the river with tunnels that go through it for the water to go through, or try to catch crawdads. Most of the time we stay in or at the river until it is almost dark.
After the sun goes down everyone gathers together at the campsite to build a fire. Once the fire is built we sit
