My Summer

Wow, I can’t believe we are a few weeks into the school year already. It seems like just yesterday I was outside enjoying the summer. Summer is my favorite time of year. There are always tons of things to do. Going on the river is one of my favorite things to do in the summer time. I go tubing almost every weekend. It’s a great feeling when you are speeding across the river, and holding on for your life. I’m always so scared that I’m going to fall in, and then I always do. It is still fun though. I also love camping on the sand bars, fishing, and just relaxing by the sandy riverfront. It’s always enjoyable just sitting by the fire, roasting marsh mellows, and making s’mores. It’s a great way to get friends together, and enjoy each other’s company. Summer is also my favorite time of the year, because summer means no school. School is fun at times, but it is so nice just to have a break once in a while. Since I don’t have to go to school, I have more time to spend time with my friends and go on vacation with my family.

Every year my family goes on vacation for about a week. This year we spent a week at Wisconsin Dells. It was a lot of fun, and we had great weather while we were there. We did many different activities while we were in the dells. We went to Noah’s Ark and on the Ducks. It was interesting, because usually the ducks go on land, and then travel into the water. This year was different though. All the water in Lake Delton emptied into the river, so all that was left was an empty lake. It was definitely a site to see. The once large populated lake was now an empty dry pit. Everyone there was taking pictures, because they could not believe their eyes. Many tourist locations in the Dells suffered because of the lake. Tommy Bartlett’s was giving away free passes for people to come to their show, because sales were down so much. Vacation was fun, but after a week I was ready to come home and spend some time with my friends.

For me, summer is just a time to get away from everything and hang out with friends. My friends and I go over to each other’s houses every Friday night and have a fire. We also play cards, play basketball, go swimming, and jump on my trampoline. It is always a great time. Then the weather starts to get a little cooler, and everyone realizes that summer is coming to an end. It is always sad to see summer pass, but everyone looks forward to the beginning of a new school year. Now that the new school year is here, I guess I’ll just have to wait until next summer, then I can start this cycle all over again.
