My Memoir: Vacation Troubles (draft #1)

By: Claudia A. Martinez, Class: Scream o Punch



"Dad, can I go into the pool?" Again as I told him he stared at me and said"of course you can't." The words were clearly in my mind like an owl who could hoot for anything he heard, even the wind. Then my situation became even more bad ... When my cousin came up to me and said that they were closing the pool, and it was MY FAULT!!! Can you believe that? I know how rude. As I was thinking my mom came up to me and it felt like she had thrown my thought away. My mom and dad said it was getting late and so I had to go to sleep.



"This morning is bad, I mean why are you doing this to me mom?" She didn't answer. After that I was as quiet as a mouse. Luckily at 10:00 she let me and my sisters go into the pool. We were in the pool for a long time. (like three or five hours) I was starting to get very cold. Huh? What? My cousin got sad just because I wascold. He thought I was going to get out of the pool! This is weird. I had to go to talk to him to know what was going on. "Hey um... are you okay?" He said " Yeah, I'm just hungry." I understood why he was acting weird . We went to the cabin that we had just gotten and ate some food. Then we all took a bath and after that we went to sleep.

When I woke up everyone in my family was in a hurry picking every thing up. I changed and helped my mom put our things in our suit cases. I saw my cousin and sisters in their swim suits. I took action and put my swim suit on. We went swimming and got out in thirty - five minutes. We had to leave the camp so we headed home. We arrived at the house in two hours. When we got out of the car we took all our luggage out. We organized the house and made it neat and tidy. We were done cleaning and my aunt and cousin were hungry so we went to Carl's Jr. and got some food to eat. ( we got cheese burgers, fries, and drinks) refreshing.

I think that the camp was fun but getting home and resting was also good. Going to Carl's Jr. was great because we got to play in the game section where the play structure was. My trip was cool but next time I hope not to have any more pool problems. But still I had a fun Camp Trip.
