A family trip to Ormond beach

Posted on October 31, 2009 by lilli

My mom, dad and I took a “road trip” to Ormond beach to see my Great Aunt Jewel, to celebrate her 90 th birthday.
Her birthday was really fun, my cousins, my aunts and uncles, and even… most of my grandparents were there, the more the merrier.

The food and drinks we had for dinner at my great Aunt Jewel’s beach home that night was soup with carrots, shrimp, celery, potatoes and okra…and for drinks we had homemade iced tea with lots and lots of sugar…it was REALLY delicious/ awesome, the soup we had was actually called a ”low country boil.”and that was AWESOME!

We stayed at a beach front hotel and my great Aunt Jewel LIVES, full time, in a beach front HOUSE, it’s actually the oldest house in Ormond Beach, awesome right; we spent one night there.

The next morning we ate breakfast, then said good bye to everyone, then left.

On the way back to Tallahassee we stopped once… I had to pee most of the way back from a BIG cup of chai tea from starbucks.(and a cheese danish from starbucks too, but I didn’t have to pee from the cheese danish.)

I finally got to pee when we got back to our house in Tallahassee. Over all ” I had a jolly good time” with everyone. (because I love EVERYONE in my family a lot)
That’s my awesome family trip.
THE END

Breckenridge,Colorado Adventures

THE ADVENTURES OF OXYGEN DEPRIVEATION

(Revolving around ME, Ethan)

Mid-winter, who knows what year, our family is boarding a Delta plane to Denver,CO.

Oh, sorry, did I forget to introduce myself??? My name is Ethan.

Well, as I was saying, our family is busy boarding the plane and all of us are excited because we all knew how to ski, so, we wold have PLENTY of time to ski. But, mid-flight, I started to feel weird in my stomach, and told my dad. But, he was no help. So, after we had arrived, we drove up the mountain to Breckenridge breckenridge-town (all the while I started feeling worse)and saw TANKS[ 🙂 ] on the side of the road!! As soon as we got there, it was getting dark, so we had dinner and went to bed.

The next morning, we put on sunblock(the snow reflects the sun) and went out skiing. After taking the ski lift up, I started to, yet again, feel sick, except worse. I told my mom, and she said we’d ski down quickly. On the way down, my mom saw a camera guy, and decided we should stop, against what she said. But, I could barely move, so the 15 minutes it took to get down, felt like a 200 ton cement was on top of me.

After we got back down, we went to the doctors and he said it was that I had a cold, and, normally, your body adjusts to high/low altitudes fine, but, since I had a cold, my body was unable to.

So, every night we were there, I had to sleep with tubes up my nose, pumping pure lower altitude oxygen into my lungs.

Eventually, we left, and I was very relieved.

So, after like 3-4 years, I still remember that family trip.

The Best \ Worst Trip to Grandma’s House

Posted on October 29, 2009 by ella

The Best \Worst Trip to Grandma’s House.

Grandmas house. You just setting you self up. Your a chubby little innocent 2 year old who is going to grandma’s house to get the organs squeezed out of you and then get stuffed with cookies (which is not that bad if you don’t have a baby cousin , or sister next to you drooling the half chewed up cookie on to the table) grandma’s house was never my favorite and i don’t think it ever will be.

Ah…the five billion hour car ride

do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do (mario theme song)

“Honey, you have been playing that for a while. . . do you think you could take a break?” my mom asked.

“Well,. . .maby. . i have to beat this level and blow up Bowser, steel his rocket, take it to space, land it on planet 004863568742426 save Princess Peach, go back to earth and then i can stop.”

“And how long will that take?”

(i hold my breath because me myself am getting pretty tired of that stupid Mario music.)

“About hour and a half; maby longer” my brother said.

I let my breath go. ( Brothers.)

“WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA was the sound i woke up to this time.

My newborn baby sister crying AGAIN! Since i was in the back i handed her to my mom and i watched her strap her in to her car seat up front and shove a pacifier into her mouth. I didnt know shutting a baby up was that easy.

“Mom how much longer?” i asked

“Well were in Pari, and we will be in Chief land in about 1\2 and hour”

( In my world all i hear is 1\2 hour so that means we will be there in 1\2 a hour!)

“ok”

In my brain the hole time i was thinking 1\2 an hour 1\2 an hour 1\2 an hour and it ended up being 4 gazillion 1\2 and hours.

once we finally got there i got the orgians squeezed out of me and i got stuffed with cookies and then i was left to “play” with my cousin Michale and he drooled and snotted all over me and my coloring books . I got tired of him and i dragged him to my mom and told her to ” put him away”

then i was supposed to help my grandma make cookies, but it kind of turned into the lets crush as many eggs that we can in are hands and see what happens game. Which turned out a mess.

And thats when i was stuffed in one of those BIG ( at least for a 2 year-old ) squishy lazy boy chairs to watch Blue’s Clues. i watched that until i fell asleep.

in the morning i woke up in my bed. i kept wondering how i got there. . . so i asked my uncle ( the 1st person to walk by ) and he said that the fairy that puts kids to bed when they fall asleep in grandmas lazy boy came and put me in bed. i believed every word.

The best part about going to Grandma’s house is that she lives about 9 big little kid steps from the beach. So thats were we found ourselves our 1st morning . My favorite part a bout the beach is that i would always build drip castles with my mom. Drip castles are like sand castles, but you use mud , and you hold it as far as you can up in the air and, you let it all drip out of your hand and you do it over,and over,and over,and over again. ( little kids love it!) ( or atlesst i did!)

once we left the beach we ended up with 2 big little kid handfuls of seashells and 1 bucket with 2 fiddler crabs in it .( Who would soon be in my Grandma’s baby pool.)

After one surprising long week of fiddler crabs, seashells, cookie drool, blues clues and family, i hoped into our SUV and watched Grandmas big yellow house get smaller and smaller and smaller. That was the best \worst trip to grandmas house.

here we go again.

My Family trip to The Sundance Film Festival in Utah

Posted on October 29, 2009 by Oscar

Last year I went to the Sundance film festival in Utah.It was awesome because it was the first time I went skiing. I took lessons with this guy named Martin for a day. By the second day I could ski backwards. It was so exiting to hear the snap of the skis when I got in them.

(Bad part) the third day my dad and I took a wrong turn so we had to go down a hill this step /.

We also had to put this chap lip stuff on every minute.

(Good part again) We were living in a condo and there where icicles hanging from the roof it was really cool! That was my family trip.

What Was Supposed to be a Family Trip

Posted on October 29, 2009 by Noah

One, normal day I’d been called by my friend, Oscar. Oscar’s dad is the dean of the film school, so sometimes he has to go on trips. Well, when my mom picked up thephone she said that Oscar’s mom had called and asked if I’d like to go to LA with Oscar and Augie! Because Oscar’s mom and dad had to go for something about work. I thought to myself about going. Then I thought about how this could be a once in a lifetime chance to go to LA. I tolled my mom “YES!“. A couple of months passed and we were going right tomorrow morning.

The next morning we had flown all the way from Tallahassee, FL to LA, California. I was surprised we landed right in Beverly Hills which I didn’t know from the beginning. Now I’d like to skip through the whole unpacking and getting to the hotel part so I’ll skip to the next day (I think).

That day we had gone to the Sanamonica Peir where there’s a fair. And we went to the guitar center. Now let me tell you, if you like guitars, (like myself) chances are, your gonna love this place. In the front on the ground there were about 50 bands and guitarists like Ozzy Osbourne, ZZ Top, Queen, AC/DC, you name it! It was the coolest day of my life. On the same day I’d gone to the In and Out Burger place with Oscar and Augie and we ate some burgers. I stayed in LA with Oscar and Augie for five complete days. It was the best trip of my life.
