My Family and Tennessee
My Family and Tennessee
My family is very different from others. We love to hang out with each other every two years. There was fun and hilarious times, but the best the time was last year. My mom and dad wanted a nice relaxing vacation with our uncles, aunts, and cousins at Tennessee because it has been almost two years and a lot can change over two years. Therefore, we tell them that we’re going to see them for a few days and they were excited. On July, we left our home and we hit the road.
The trip was long and boring; also, it took us about 6 hours and extra 3 hours because we were heading south instead of east. Finally, we made it to Tennessee. The thing was that we were lost and had no clue of where we were. Therefore, we called my uncle and he came and showed us where to go. When we saw my uncle’s house and it was small but never “judge a book from its cover,” the house was bigger inside than outside. We met the whole family from Tennessee and it was fun meeting them.
We talked about what we did over the years and we also played some games. It was time to go to sleep and we needed to sleep in one of my cousins’ bedroom. The next day we were planning a nice picnic at the park. We packed up sandwiches, soda, some fruit, and my favorite tacos. We went to a park that had buffalos, ducks and sheep. We set up the picnic under a sort of a house. While the grownups were setting up, we played on playground.
When we were at the playground I heard thunder, but I thought it was a firework. It was getting cloudy, but it was always cloudy when we came to Tennessee. Instead of going to the playground, I follow the path in the forest with one of cousin; his name is Jorge. We found a duck, a beehive and a snake. We ran all the way to the picnic table. When we made it from the forest, I somewhat hungry so we started eating so I straight headed for the tacos and then the sandwiches, soda to drink. When I was eating my fruit, I heard thunder and the sky was getting dark.

    It was going to be a short ride only about 4 hours altogether through the South Dakota mountains. About an hour into our ride, we reached the mountains and as soon as we did Brody, Eli, Maddy, and I rode our horses to the top of the mountains. When we reached the top of the mountains we got off our horses and looked out over the South Dakota scenery, it was a beautiful view. I have never seen a better view in my life. You could see so far since we were up so high in the air and when we looked down at Tommy and Cassie they looked like ants. After we took a few pictures we headed back down to Tommy and Cassie. We went a little further after we got down from the mountain and then we turned back and headed towards camp. We arrived back at camp we washed, fed, and watered the horses. When we were done with that stuff we made a fire and started carving on sticks for a competition we were having and then at about 11 we went to…

    As I grew older I became more familiar with thunderstorms, they are really common in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. After that night I wait for another storm to came, and when it finally happened I couldn’t stop watching. I sat in the living room, right by my mom’s side, watching the water pour down through the window. She happily watched the rain and thought me to wait for the white light that illuminated the entire sky. Once we saw the light, we counted the second for the million soldiers to appear, marching and keeping the pace as they passed above us in the dark night sky. As the soldiers approached to my house, the windows started vibrating, announcing their arrival and also their departure. I learned to keep calm and find these sounds friendly for a deep sleep. When I woke up I will see a clear blue light sky and a bright yellow sun, almost as if the night before had never occurred. I couldn’t stop asking myself how did that powerful storm was created.…

    Out of pure shock I broke into a sprint into the direction of my house, branches and twigs were swiping against my face, lightly cutting it. Then out of nowhere I heard an eruption of thunder echoing all through the woods, then the rain started coming down hard, harder, it was like it was on the verge of being ice, I continued to sprint, the path began to over flow with water, it was like I was running through a river bed, as I was sprinting throwing my head over…

    The best part of the reunion is the cooking. My mom always makes the desserts. There is nothing like an old fashion pound cake, red velvet cake, butternut, and chocolate cake. She has some of the best recipes in town. My great Aunt Ment, who is one of the eldest members of our family, comes all the way from Miami, FL. She makes the best chicken dressing, which my family says cannot be duplicated. While we are doing all the cooking and baking, my uncle Joe is always sneaking snapshots and videotaping us when we least expect it.…

    I was born in a family where my grandparents and parents are all the knowledgeable persons because all of them had the chances to go to colleges. Therefore, when I was a child, they always told me that the knowledge will change people’s lives to a better level. Since the education in China is not supported by the government, so people have to pay children’s education by themselves. Today, as I grew up and I am going to graduate with my degree, I thank my family for their love and support over the years.…
