This summer events by Horsefeathers10 (6A)

Just this summer I went out to Boston Massachusetts to visit my relatives that live out there. The car on the way out there was packed with my grandpa, brother, two sweaty dogs and a lot of stuff. The first day I got there my cousins greeted me and my brother. Then my cousin told me her parents were getting a divorce. That night we went to my grandma and grandpa's house for dinner. The next week we were running through the forest and streams behind my cousin's house. Me and my cousin had been sent in the back to weed. We had not been out there long when we heard my nine year old cousin crying. Thinking he had got hurt we ran to see if he was alright. When we got tot the front of the house my seventeen year old cousin came up to us and told us that Sammy (their dog)
had got hit by a car and wasn't going to make it. My cousin and I stood for a moment and then she ran to her mom and crying brother. I ran to the road there I saw my big brother carrying the lifeless animal to the front lawn. Then everyone started to show up. My grandparents, my uncle, my uncles parents even the lady that hit him came to the little funeral.






Two days later me and my cousin went to camp. It seemed to cheer us up hanging out with all the other girls there. We stayed at camp for a week but three whole days we had to stay inside because of the rain. When we got back from camp we were just in time for dinner. A week later my dad, sister and two little brothers came out to my grandparents house. By the week my cousins and family were at my grandparents lake house in Maine. Me and my cousin were in the little house headed outside. On the front deck we saw a crowd of my grandpa, dad and two cousins. We tried to see what they were crowding around. Finely we found an opening. It was my older brother laying
on his back starring up at the circle of faces above him. "What happen" I asked. It was my older cousin who answered. "He was chopping wood and accidentally chopped of the tip of his thumb" she said. After that my brother couldn't put his hand in the water. For the three nights we were there all the kids slept in a tent outside while my grandparents, dad and two baby brothers slept in the lake house. The kids in the tent stayed up past midnight. Playing games or seeing who could say up the latest. That night when we got back to my grandparents house everyone was busy unloading the
car. The next morning me, my dad, sister, three brothers and two dogs jumped in the car and started the long car ride home.
