As a child, every fall, my parents would take me and my siblings camping. Dad worked a lot, so we counted down the days of summer, until we got to be together. Every breath I took was like I was inhaling my childhood. I could hear the waves bouncing off the rocks as we sat on the patio and had lunch.

Every time the monkey in the tree would set off a firecracker Bert would perform the drill and duck completely in his shell.

In this movie, Scotty Smalls hit his stepfather’s prized possession baseball signed by Babe Ruth over the fence into Mr. Mertle’s yard where an enormous, beastly dog lived. After doing this, the team thinks of a variety of different plans to get Scotty’s stepfather’s baseball back safe. The first few attempts at getting the ball back failed miserably but they did not just give up and forget about the ball. The team worked together and devised a master plan which involved Benny hopping the fence into Mr. Mertle’s yard and retrieving the baseball before “The Beast” even noticed. The plan was a success and without friendship, teamwork, and the will to never give up, the prized ball would have still been sitting in Mr. Mertle’s yard with “The
The lobster feast they would have every time was the highlight of the trip. John would go down to the ocean with a large pot and fill it with sea water. The two would then set to cooking putting the lobsters into the boiling sea water and waiting. When he was young John would place his hand on top of Margaret’s as she held down the lid.
