Personal Narratives: Samantha, Haley, Xander, Virgil, Stephan


Camp
by Samantha 

I went to camp with my family.  I went canoeing.  I fell down.  At camp, we went down to the beach and I skipped rocks down to the beach.  We have smog at the beach.  We slept there for one day and went home. 
     When we go back, I will get wet.  We will go riding with my bike.  My sister and I will race with my other sister.  I will win and get money.  That was fun at camp.  I miss my camp.  I can yet go to camp again.  We are going on Friday. 

My Trip to Anchorage
Haley


       My family went to Anchorage for my tonsils to take out because I had  huge tonsils.  If you have a huge or small tonsils, they will take them out. If you have a huge one they will take it out. If you have a small one they won't take it out.
When we got there, we took our van to the hotel and unpacked our bags. We went to the mall for some food, some clothes, some shoes, and to keep us warm, and to get us to eat good food to help us not get us starving. If we watched our baby sister we could go to H2Oasis, ice skating, McDonald's playground, go to the pool at Courtyard, or to the movie theaters.

Anchorage vs. Nome
Xander 

My grandma got tickets to Anchorage.  We  lived in Days Inn.  We went to Walmart and bought a robot.  I went to go get my tonsils out and it hurt after I woke up.  I had to only have Otter Pops and ice cream.  Then we went to the Restaurant and bought an ice cream sundae. We went home.  
The next day when it was sunny, we saw the Fair.  We went to the fair.  We got tickets.  We went to the Spinning Apples ride, and I rode one.  Then it was dark, and the Fair was still open.  When it was dark, we went to the airport and got tickets to go back to Nome.
          We only stayed in Anchorage for ten days.  When we got to Nome, we took a cab home.  When I got home, my dog Copone jumped on me when I had just opened the door, and he followed me everywhere.  The next day I went to the park, and Darius and I were playing Marines.  Marines is a game where we shoot bad guys.  We went home and went to eat.  We went to the store.  We bought a new gun.  We played Marines again— Darius and I versus each other.   We split up.  I won. 
We went to go ask Timothy, but he wasn't there.  We were looking for him.  We found him.  We played Marines some more.  Darius and Timothy won.  I saw grandma.  We went to the store, and grandma bought me and Darius HubbaBubba gum.  We went to the park and we went on the swings.   We went home and watched a scary movie called Paranormal Activity 2.  It was a long movie.
       Anchorage was more fun than Nome because they had a Fair and they had waffles at the restaurant and yummy burgers and shrimp.   At Walmart they had cool toys, and cool buses and cool cabs at Anchorage.


Tubes and Tonsils
Virgil

I went to Anchorage with my mom to take my tonsils out and get tubes in my ears.  We stayed at our cousin's Nolie's.  We went to McDonalds and went to Old Navy to get new clothes and shoes.  I got a new game on the Xbox 360 called 
Battlefield 3.  
The next day the doctor took my tonsils out and got tubes in my ears.  I couldn't wait to take my tonsils out.  My mom and I went to the hospital.  They gave me Laughing Gas.  It took me 20 minutes to go to sleep.  I was asleep for one hour.  When I woke up, my mouth was hurting for a while. 
We went back to Nolie's for 10 days.  We went to the Ted Stevens Airport and went back to Nome.



Odyssey With Virgil
Stephan Anderson

On Fourth of July, 2010, Virgil and I went biking up to Chicken Hill.  He found the biggest jump, and hit it, and did a trick.  I tried, but I crashed and hit my, um, groin.  It really hurt, it felt like I needed some ice. 
        After a while we went to my house and got some money.  We got a soda at A.C. 'cause we got thirsty.  After a while, we got really hyper.  I hit a small jump, but went really high. I jumped off ,my bike in the air, then crashed, but got up really fast and chased a squirrel into a squirrel hole.  We spied on it for a while.  It popped out.  I grabbed a rock.  I  threw the rock.  The rock knocked the squirrel out for about 30 minutes.  It got up really quick.  It was so funny,  I almost peed my pants. 
         We went to Cup Hill and I hit a HUMUNGUS jump, went flying in the air, then crashed again.  I almost landed on a squirrel hole.  After a while we went to my house to shoot around.  We got bored, so we went to Virgil's house to play the Xbox 360.  We were playing Call of Duty: Black Opps.    After we finished a level, his mom told us to go play outside. We played Eskimo Kickball with Virgil's neighbors, Steven and William.  We won.  We had 15 points, they had 12 points.  We went to my house.  Virgil went to the beach with me and my family.  All the kids went swimming.  The water got really cold, then it got really warm.
When we got done swimming, we made some s'mores. They were really good and super-sticky.  Virgil got the chocolate all over his face.  We went to my house.  I asked if  I could sleep over at Virgil's, and my mom said I could.  We stayed up for a long time.  We got bored, so we just played a game of Run Away FromThe Popo's(Police).  It got boring, so we went to his house.  We got so bored, we went to sleep.  We woke up at 1:00 p.m. from the smell of bacon that his mom was cooking.  I had so much fun with Virgil those two days.
