                                                 Day 1

As me and my family pulled into the dirt road driveway I realized that mom and dad did to put a lot of money into doing this. The lake house that we were staying at was amazing the house was huge and the lake behind it we pretty much had all to ourselves and it looked beautiful with the full moon shining on it.

when me mom and dad were lugging in all the luggage my brothers were running around the house screaming not believing there eyes.

when we were done putting all of our stuff in the Lakehouse we started looking around and seeing all of the rooms my brothers decided to sleep in a really small room with a bunk bed and a little tv was on a small table thank god we brought some movie or my brothers would be screaming a night long.
Mom and dad were going to sleep in the master bedroom (no surprise there) and that meant I got to have the whole basement to myself and there was a flat screen tv I’m pretty surprised how fooled my brothers were on using a box tv while I’m with the good stuff.

As I put my Away I only then realized that I was only going to be here for the weekend so I will try to make the most of it and as I got in bed I put the Blankets on me from the car and looked up at the ceiling as I drifted into a deep sleep…

                                            Day 2

waking up at 10:30 just my luck I would have taken that any day but now but the fact that my brothers were occupied by the tv might have helped. Watching cars over and over again yep that’s my brothers all right! When I went upstairs my parents were totally different people my brothers not screaming might have been the difference. My dad was actually reading the newspaper! what busy dad like him has time to read the newspaper! When i wake up dad is always yelling at my brothers for waking him up.

when I sat at the table they both said good morning and I said the same in reply. As I sat down mom passed me a plate full of crispy bacon and some eggs that’s when I realized how hungry I really was. As I ate (all the bacon) and most of the eggs my dad asked me if I wanted to go fishing. I have never gone fishing with my dad before since he’s so busy so I said yes.

As I poked the worm on my end of the hook I casted it in the water. I don’t fish all that much but when I do I always get lucky. the second I sent my worm in the water a Gigantic tug and I was caught off guard but I tugged with all my might and out came a gigantic bass with my dad saying in the background don’t let go! don’t let go! And as I put what felt like a 100pound fish I lugged on the boat and the thing was huge I couldn’t even believe my own eyes and as my dad started slapping me on the back Way to go man! And as we turned the boat around we headed toward the lake house.

that was a day I would soon not forget.

Me and my family were getting ready for the parade but we weren’t doing what the kids were doing.

Maybe you are one of the students that stood in their driveway waiting to see you’re favorite Bowdoinham teachers but nope not me apparently since my mom works there (which makes her a teacher to) so we had to be IN the parade.

When we were getting ready in the car getting ready with the other teachers in the parking lot (we kept our distance from each other) I felt tired and bored in the back of the Buick while mom and dad were  getting the car decorated with signs like I MISS YOU BOWDOINHAM and stuff like that as mom and dad went in to get buckled up we saw the sheriff in the front and we went off.

Then as we were going about 20mph passing people’s house with some of the house’s driveways were filled with kids and some weren’t.

After about an hour of my mom standing up and down through the sunroof screaming (name) it’s so good to see you buddy!!!!!!!!!! And all that stuff that’s when I started to get nauseous especially with my dad like I said going 20 mph then slowing down to five automatically so mom could say hi to the students and so they could see them.

That’s when I start to get miserable as I was crouched up in the backseat with my seatbelt as tight as could be and the stopping and going to help either but by now. I knew that the parade will end soon because my dad told me that the parade would at least be an hour long but boy was he wrong.

Since I can get carsick pretty easily after another hour I started looking for a bucket because after to hours of stopping and going and mom yelling kids names the extremely cold wind hitting my face and when I crouch over then I have even worse stomach pains and my brothers screaming just for me to be annoyed.

After I wished I stayed home and watched the Simpsons and read at home I kept on asking are we almost done yet? Are we almost done yet? Are we almost done yet? and the answer was always the same no no no no no no NO!

And just when I was about to explode the car at the very front went to the gas station and So did the other cars the second this happened my dad said and a low tone of voice….. are we on a gas break or something but about two seconds later I realized that the parade was finally over. As teachers went out of their cars to take off all the decorations (some chatted a little) I finally felt relaxed and relieved that the parade was finally Over. As mom and dad got into the car with satisfied looks on their faces we finally drove home.
