Sixth day......  (Phew,

Sixth day......  (Phew, only four more...)

Think of any vacation/camp you went to (or just a fun day out somewhere):

IF VACATION: Where did you go?  Did you fly, drive or swim?  Who was there?  How long did you stay?  What did you do?  What was your favorite memory?

IF CAMP: Where was it?  What type of camp was it?  How long was it?  Was it an overnight camp?  Who was there?  What sort of things did you do?  What was your favorite memory?

IF CAMP: Where was it?  Pier Marquette  What type of camp was it?  A camp with a bunch of friends; everyone knew each other.  There was a pool, and a mess hall.  My dad never wants to cook breakfast there again; he prefurs dinner or luch.   How long was it?  Well, I was there with my family and my friend and her mom for a week.  Everyone else left for a few days in the middle. 
Was it an overnight camp?  Yes, I wouldn't want to be in the car for an hour each day...  Who was there?  Friends.  A lot of friends.    What sort of things did you
do?  Swim, tye-dye, eat, cook, play bingo, and a lot of other stuff.   What was your favorite memory?  My favourite?  How could I pick...

 

I haven't gone on a vacation this year.  My aunt, uncle, and cousins are in Can Cun right now, though!

IF VACATION: Where did you go? Illonois!  Did you fly, drive or swim? Flew! Yay!
Who was there? I went with my mom, and on the first day, we went to a family reunion for her mom's side of the family. We stayed with my aunt the entire time, except for the last day, my birthday. And on... I think it  was the 4th day, we went to visiit some of my mom's dad's side of the family. This was all really fun, as I'd never even met many of these people!  How long did you stay? A week! What did you
do? Besides the reunion, I went to a park, and Lincoln's Home National Historical Site, and a 100-year-old barn, and the Mississippi River, and... What was your favorite memory? How could I choose?!!

An anecdote I'd like to add: My foot became stuck in the mud of the Mississippi River! Itresembled quicksand,  and I had to get my great-uncle to pull me out! It doesn't look significant when written down, but it was hilarious in actuality!

IF CAMP: Where was it? Fayette, kinda near Augusta.. What type of camp was it? My old church's camp! How long was it? A week. Was it an overnight camp? Yuppp... Who was there? Lotsssss of people, but our cabin had, ummm, like twenty girls (AHHH!) including my SBFF (Sometimes Best Friends Forever) and C! What sort of things did you do? The typical swim, tube, water ski, manhunt, drama team, etc. What was your favorite memory? The epic shaving cream battle we had (*cough* it was against the rules to bring "items associated with horseplay" but heeeyyy, you can't have camp w/o a shaving cream battle!)... Or when Miki and I found a porcupine in the pitch black at the tennis courts...  Or talking with Jonas "Purple Pants"...  Or...

IF VACATION: Where did you go? To Illinois and Kentucky. Did you fly drive or swim? Drove. Ugh. Fourteen hours in a car gets pretty boring and agitating. Who was there? In Illinois most of my mama's side of the family and my Grandma and Aunt on my papa's side. In Kentucky my third cousin twice removed on my papa's side and her mom and dad live there in a little city that you could drive through in about five minutes. But it's cute. And my Greatgrandma on my papa's side lives in Kentucky too, only in a different city. How long did you stay? Uhhhhh, I forgot. Probably just a week or so. What did you do? In Illinois we just visited with family, and went to one of my cousin's birthday party. But it also was celebrating my papa's birthday because their birthdays are so close. In Kentucky we visited our Greatgrandma. We thought we would just drop by really fast to visit with our cousin, but we actually ended up going to a waterpark with her! She even spent the night with us at a hotel! It was SO fun!!! What was your favorite memory? Laughing and talking with my uncle, going to the waterpark, playing this game with a cousin, there were these two circular disks and this ball that you would hit back and forth, etc..
