This was a very pleasant park, considering this side of town in Fresno. Walking to the park, you can hear dozens of birds chirping, a few parents talking to their children on the play structure and yard workers trimming trees and bushes across the street. When a gust of wind past by, the lemon scent filled the air. Looking over to see where the lemons were coming from, there, to the right of the entrance, the picnic tables were getting wiped down by a gentleman with a Clorox wipe. Ahead there are three, three foot animals.
English 9A: Growing Up: Family Narrative Mia Ippoliti My Family Narrative Last year my family and I took a spring break vacation to the beautiful state of Washington. Originally we had wanted to visit the Olympic Peninsula because of our love for the Twilight Saga book series but after researching on-line we realized that there was lots to see besides the infamous small city of Forks. We planned to visit the only rain forest in the United States as well as several wild nature beaches where we would spend low tide hours exploring the sea life inside of tide pools. We also planned to stay a few nights at two different Native American reservations on the west coast right on the Pacific Ocean! We named the trip "Our Wild Northwest Adventure."
Finally, after planning for months, I got to visit. I have to say, after that wonderful visit, I’ve come to love staying in Oregon much more than here in Georgia. I noticed that the three biggest differences between Georgia and Oregon have to be the scenery, climate and atmosphere. As soon as I got to Oregon, I noticed a huge change in scenery. That was to be expected though, after traveling across the whole United States.
We didn't stay on the beach long, we all wanted to get a good nights sleep. My step-sisters Katy and Bethany have never been to Cedar Point before and the last time i was there was 8yrs ago. None of us could fall asleep, we were all to excited to go enjoy the huge amusment park. When our parents woke us up the next morning we all rushed around, even tho we had plenty of time before we got into the park an hour early. After we were all ready we ate breakfast at a very crowded resturant.
On Monday, october 25,th I went to a state park after I finished work. Since I had endured so much stress from my job, it was a great opportunity for me to go to the park and relax, to be able to look at the world and forget about everything. The weather was beautiful and the sun was shining. There was an especially nice breeze that made the trees move and leaves fall. I had noticed that the sky was extremely clear and the birds seemed happy about the weather because they were flying every where and going from tree to tree.
I think that they will enjoy it as much as I did when I saw it yesterday. There has never been a day like today where I’m so excited to go all around town and do whatever I want today. No homework, no nothing. I also can’t wait to go and celebrate my sister’s birthday that’s in a couple days. Now all I can do for right now is just imagine how amazing it would be if I could take my friends to that amazing place that I saw yesterday.
After breakfast we went to the dock and caught a boat to The Magic Kingdom. There was so much to do in one day. We saw many Disney characters, such as, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and my favorite, Cinderella. We ate and drank so many good treats, but the first on my boyfriend’s to-do list was a turkey leg. It was delicious.
Over all I’m very glad that I had the chance to change my life with speed. I now have ridden that coaster several
Trip to Sequoia National Park This past summer I went on a day trip to Sequoia National Park with my family. It was a Saturday morning, and my dad, my stepmom, and I decided to go on a one day trip to the Sequoia National Park. We never been there before and wanted to see what it was like, so we got some supplies and embarked on a journey towards the mountains. Going through the winding roads of the foothills were a first of experiences I would experience this day. As we arrived at the entrance, I got relieved that we were out of those wavy roads, but then cringed to find out there were many more winding roads before we actually got to the park.
In the poem the speaker "wandered" lonely (1) along hills and valleys and was smitten by a large gathering of daffodils under trees by a lake "fluttering and dancing" (7). He found that they shone like stars and reached far along the bay to which he compared the daffodils--finding them to surpass the "sparkling waves in glee." (14). Then realized he had no recourse but to be made joyful by such a cheerful scene. He state, however, that though he "gazed and gazed" (17) he did not recognize the "wealth" (18) of the moment until later;
