MY FAMILY VACATION

 Have you ever had a vacation you thought was going to be a boring trip? That is the feeling I had on my family vacation.The trip we went on started nine days ago and I thought it was going to be a boring family vacation trip then I changed my mind.     

    The first part of the trip was not so easy. Sitting by my sister in the car was the worst thing that ever happened on the trip. On our way to Las Vegas we stopped at Calico Ghost town.

 Then we had to keep driving. But once we got to Mandalay Bay hotel it was even worse carrying the bags and suitcases that we had. Once we got to our room it was time to put our swimsuits on and go to the wave pool. At the beginning when we got to the pool I thought it was going to be to be the coldest water we had ever been in. But when we got in it was warmer than we thought it would be. After we went to the pool it was time to go to our hotel.

Then when we got to our hotel it was time to get dressed and go to dinner at a place called hot and juicy crawfish. They dump all the food on  to the table and everyone eats with their hands. 

But before we got our dinner we thought of a couple Yo mama jokes. After we ate with our dirty little fingers, we went to the Freemont Experience in old Las Vegas. It was really cool even though we have been there before.
There is loud music and lights everywhere up and down the street. Finally that day was over and we went to sleep. The next day we swam some more and celebrated mom's birthday. The next day we went to the pawn shop from the tv show pawn stars, we went to a magic shop in the New York New York hotel while my sisters and step father went on the roller coaster.  When we were in the New York hotel I was carrying around an energy drink and everybody was staring at me. I bet they were thinking the kid was too young to have it. But, I thought they were just crazy people. The next day we headed to Utah but before that we went to Bass Pro Shop. All the things we got cost more than $50. And that was not really expensive for me because I had $100.

    When we got to Utah we stopped at the Dinosaur Discovery Site.

We saw ancient dinosaur tracks that were as old as 195 million years old. It was cool but boring at the same time. Then we drove to a hotel and went to the movies. In the morning we went to Zion National Park. I was surely excited to be there and I wish we could have  hiked a little more up the hill before we left. We had to go on a bus that took us to some of the places where we hiked. One time on the bus we saw doe running in the fields and eating the grass off the fields.

We stopped and bought hiking sticks and used them to climb Zion Mountain.


The mountains were as big as half of one of the twin towers and waterfalls were coming off of them. We also took a stop next to the virgin river to touch the water and see how cold it was.

We also hiked along the river. It started raining as we were hiking. After we were done hiking we drove to the back gate and took a picture with the sign at the entrance of Zion.


After that we decided to go to my grandmother's house in flagstaff Arizona.

    It was a long drive and Lyla had to go to the restroom but there was no place to stop so we pulled up along the edge of the road. Lyla ran out of the car like a little girl and stood up peeing like a boy. It was funny for the whole ride till we got there. Everyone in the car was laughing. But nobody was laughing when the secret farter was stinking up the car. Nobody would admit who was doing the farting.

When we got to the house in Flagstaff, it was dark and cold. We were thankful to be in that house because it was nice and the heater was on. I turned on the TV to MTV and watched Silent Library. After that it was time to brush our teeth and go to bed. The next day it snowed and we played outside. I went looking for obsidean and other types of cool rocks that I might find after the mudslide that happened. After two days we went to Gilbert Arizona.


   In Gilbert my Uncle, Aunt and cousins were waiting for me on the street corner. They chased our car to their house. They were very excited to see us and once I waled into that house they were screaming crazy and were talking their mouths off. I could only hear the kids screaming and yelling so I just said Uh ha, Ok, ya, that's cool the whole time my cousins were talking. After that we thought we should play and Alex Rider Storm Breaker game. The game can hold more than 100 games at a time in one chip. So We played multiplayer on mario cart balloon battles. They would cry every time if I wasnt on their team. Then we went to sleep. The next day my mom decided to stay another day. On that day my mom, Nate and my sisters we to the movies to see Soul Surfer and I went to my uncles house and played moderdwarfare 2 and watched Step Brothers. When the movie was over we went fishing. The only person who caught a fish was my step father Nate. He caught a blue gill perch. It was very fun. when i was trying to make a ball of bread, my fingers would keep slipping because they were so numb. my fingers would never cooperate with each other. Next time I wish i could use worms and fresh bread instead of stale bread for bait.

We fished until dark and then went back to the house and played a game of bannanagrams. Once my cousins and sisters went to sleep I started to play Grand Theft Auto libery City. Then after 15 minutes of the game I had to go to bed.

Then the next day my uncle gave me a bag that had a hanger's belt and a new pocket knife. He said that belt would never break. I love that gift. Then it was another long drive of 6 hours to come home.


   It was the most wonderful trip I ever went on and I had many energy drinks on that trip. Those were  the best days of my life. When we got home it was time to unpack our bags. I just still wish I could have shot my uncles AR15 or M16 automatic air soft gun that I love. On my next trip I would like to go to Oregon or Texas or even Arizona again.
