Thanksgiving

This years thanksgiving was really busy! I had like three thanksgivings in one day, each with different people. My mom even baked four pumpkin pies so we would have enough!

My first thanksgiving was breakfast at my house with my grandmother. My parents made pumpkin pie waffles and eggs with turkey sausage. My mom was also going to make turkey bacon, but there was not enough time since we all woke up late. We came down to eat at around 10 and I just about stuffed myself! (But I left a little room since I knew we were eating pumpkin pie later.)

My second thanksgiving was lunch in a private dining room in my grandfathers nursing home, with of course, my grandfather. We went to Whole foods before we came and we bought turkey, mashed potatoes, and carrots. My mom brought the pumpkin pie, green beans, and whipped cream. The only problem was, as soon as we sat down to eat, we realized that we forgot the turkey! We couldn’t find it anywhere, even though I thought that we bought it. We ended up just eating the mashed potatoes and the pumpkin pie with the whipped cream on it.

My third and last thanksgiving was at my old neighbors house who now live in Onion Creek. It has been a tradition of ours to always have thanksgiving with them, and my family did not wan o break it even though they had moved away. It was like a feast, because they had a huge family who came and everyone brought something. My family brought sweet potatoes and our remaining pumpkin pie. They live on a golf course, so before the food was ready, I stayed outside and played on the golf course with my old neighbors niece, who is three. Then I stuffed myself full of turkey, sweet potatoes, bread rolls, and pumpkin pie.

Vacation

The waves lapped at the sand down the hill below the rental home, repetively making the same soothing noise. I sat in the back of the truck as my dad walked up the stairs with the keys to start it. I was wedged in between the railing and my sister, in the back of what looked like a tourist truck, because the front was shaped like a pickup trick but the back was not. In the back, instead of what is usually there, there was two benches facing each other with room underneath them for bags.

I was going with my family to the “no name beach” as we called it, because we didn’t know what it was called.(We later found out that it was Francisco Bay.) It was our favorite beach because it had the smoothest sand, the clearest water, and the best spot for snorkeling. A certain spot on the beach had the perfect place to hang our bags, because there was a fallen palm tree about three feet from the ground.

We were in St. John in the U.S.V.I,(US Virgin Islands) on the Caribbean Sea. The water was the clearest turquoise I had ever seen, with the whitest sand. It was the best vacation I have ever been on, and I went the summer I was going into the 6th grade.

This is just a glimpse of the paradise I was living in for three weeks! While we were there, we went kyacking and standup paddle boarding in the ocean, windsurfing, boogie boarding, riding in a dingy, an so much more! I saw giant lizards that were up to three feet!!! There were amazing palm trees and wildlife, with donkeys living on the island and crowding the roads. Comment if you have ever been to the Caribbean or want to go, or tell me about your amazing vacations!!!
