"Yippee! Monday is a teacher workday!" Want to know what Iâm so happy about? OK, besides that the day was a "no-school" day. Well, every Monday, during the summer or holidays, My mom, sister, and I go and visit my auntâs house. I know what you are thinking. "Just another visit to my boring auntâs house." Well, my aunt is SO cool! She loves kids & my cousins Kim, Bear, and Cub are so much fun to play with! A usual day at my auntâs usually starts off by having a pot-luck lunch at around 11:00 am. The lunch usually consists of whatever everybody brings. Most of the time, there are 2-3 pizzas, fish, cucumber and chicken. After the meal the kids usually have an ice cream! After lunch, numerous activities can occur. During the summer, Bear, Cub, Sarah, Me, and sometimes Kim go swimming in my auntâs huge 10-foot deep pool! Usually we stay in for about 5 hours, sometimes longer! After swimming, we usually dry off by jumping on her trampoline or going down into her basement. In the winter and fall, we play with tons of outfits and usually we make plays & film them. My aunt bought Bear, Cub, Sarah, and I a video recorder called "Digital Blue." It records many things which you can then hook up on a computer and add cool things to them. You can add special effects, text, and put together scenes. One of the movies we made was called "The Quest for The Triforce." For all of the Zelda fans out there, you know. For those who arenât, the Triforce is a magical artifact that grants you one wish when all 3 pieces are connected. It was fun to make and fun to watch! What we also do is on a Fall day, almost all of my cousins (and some brave uncles) take winter sleds and plastic kiddy pools, put 2-3 people in a sled and slide down a huge forest-like hill. It is incredibly fun! Although there is a risk of flipping over, the thrill of sliding down a steep leafy hill just overpowers you. When we aren't doing that, all of the cousins and some adults go hiking in the woods. If you go to the south of the house and you go into the woods, you see a small creek. If you follow that, after a while you see a huge hollow tree. When the family all went down there, 7 people fit into there. Seven people! Inside, you can look up and see a tunnel. It is a completely hollow tree. It is amazing! If you go west of the house, you run into the cousin-made Town Nowhere. When you look throughout he town, there will be many interesting things you will see. In one corner, there is a shop where there is a moss-covered shoe, an old baseball, a rotting tire, and a vine door. In another corner, you will see a small wooden gate and many small huts. Smack dab in the middle, you will find a stick. A white stick. The stick we dubbed "The Great White Stick". It was the stick that started it all. Well, at least started the town. Bear & Cub were looking in the newly, poorly uninspired town when they found a white stick and a metal hook-thingie. So today, the white stick is the townâs symbol. If you go a little further into the woods, you meet a new place called Camp Nowhere. In the center of Camp Nowhere, there is a tire (campfire) with logs around it (seats). If you follow a small path, you will see a small ditch. This ditch is really cool. In it you will see small treasures, like bottles, cans, and other small things. One time I found a Pepsi glass bottle, and it looked really old. Thus, we named this ditch "Treasure Ditch". At my Aunt's house, there are many fun things to do. Swimming, filming, and just having fun. I'm glad I'm with my family altogether. Well, Signora! Got to go put my sun screen on!
