Always on my son's birthday we are doing something special. This year we surprise him with trip to Legoland. Although he had been there before, he still loves it. Also on this day, for first time, they hosted a firework extravaganza. It was school time that I had plenty of time to organize the visit. I invited his best friends: Katie, who is a year older than him, and Daniel - eleven-year-old boy, living next door. I bought some threats for all of us. In the morning he woke up much exited; still wondering what we are planning for the day. We told him we were going someplace special to keep the secret. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too good: it rained and it was cold, but this didn't put a stop on our plans. And thanks for that because when he sow the LEGOLAND’s logo he couldn't stop smiling. On the gates he had been threatened with birthday badge which made him so proud. We had a fabulous day at the park. It was busy even if the weather wasn't good but we managed to get on most of the rides. My little boy felt like this place was built for him - he loved being given the opportunity to drive a car and to be part of firefighting team, he built amazing things with Lego bricks. In the evening we were amazed with the most spectacular fireworks I ever seen. Even the rain stopped that we completely enjoyed on every moment. We bought 3D glasses for all of us which transformed the fireworks into Lego bricks. On our way home my son told me that he had the most fabulous birthday ever. His reaction and his smiling face were worth everything - the cold, the rain, the money.

When we hear the word knight, we imagine Arthurian-tales of glorious battles between men and dragons, fierce jousting competitions, rivalries between kingdoms, and knightly chivalry. Several of these tales center on the bravery of knights against mighty foes or on their ability to resist earthly temptations. Sir Gawain is the nephew of King Arthur and is a knight of the round table. He appears in more Arthurian-tales than any other knight and is known as the ideal that all knights should strive for. (Joe) In the Arthurian-Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Gawain faces many challenges and his decisions based on those challenges shape him into the Knight that many know now.…

For twelve years I got to see everything she did. We went to Disneyland once! It was awesome! My favorite ride was Splash Mountain. First, we went into the boat thing. Markie was in front of us and Randall behind us. They are her brothers. We creaked up the slope and turned left. We went to the right and through a short tunnel. Small figures were everywhere, as we slowly went up a steep hill. When we got to the top water was all over the place. I had wondered why. KA-BOOM!!!!!!! We were going down the biggest hill ever! Water was getting in my hair. Markie, Lisa, and Randall were screaming at the top of their lungs. Thirty feet, twenty feet ten feet, SPLASH!!!! I got so wet, that I wouldn’t have to take bath for a month! The water was up to Lisa’s feet in the boat. It was slow for the rest of the ride, but there was a lot of chatter going on, but mom ands dad looked scared. “Want to go on It’s a small world?” asked Helen. Melvin just nodded.…

It was a typical late summer day in my life; the all work no play world of Tanner Simons. Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration but seriously while other kids are swimming, playing in summer basketball leagues or hanging out. I am held captive forty-five miles from the nearest town. I get to spend my summers helping out on the family ranch. We have a lot of creek bottoms that require crossings. Over the years equipment has grown in size. On this particular day Dad decided we needed to replace some culverts with bigger ones. This will cut off a lot of miles and hill climbing with the stack mover. I am the youngest of six kids and was eager to prove what I could do. There were two crossings to dig out. I would start with the one by the corrals down below, about 2 miles south of our house. I drove the excavator down and began playing in the dirt. Did I mention that it was a hot afternoon and just the drive down was miserable? I moved on down the creek about another mile and a half and dove right in digging out the other old crossing. My brother came down to get me on the motorcycle and we headed back up to the house. I was feeling quite proud of myself and my accomplishments of the day. I was relaxing on the computer enjoying the air conditioning when my Dad and sister came in too. They had been moving cows and had went down below to put in the new culverts. Dad wanted to know why in the heck it took me all afternoon to dig out one culvert. I told him I got them both dug out and he said not to kid him, he was hot and tired! A heated argument happened before we finally figured out that I had dug out the wrong crossing! It is funny now but having to go back down and dig a third culvert that same afternoon was not funny at…

There is a place where my family travels every weekend in the summer. I have gone there ever since I can remember. I have pictures of my family and me up there from before I was one year old. This is a place I call my "camp". My grandparents moved up there a few years ago and now live there all year round. It is a very family-oriented place, and all of my Dad's close family has houses up around there. All the houses are so close that many generations of cousins have all grown up together. My camp is on Lake Winnepesaukee, in New Hampshire.…

A couple of months ago, I remember my good friend Henry inviting me to go swim at a place “up by the lake” (as he described it) and since it was triple digit weather that day, of course I agreed. I got ready to go and he picked me up within the hour. As we were driving to this mysterious spot that I had never been to, I remembered him mentioning something about a rock, but since I figured a rock couldn’t be that big, I didn’t really pay attention to it. Although I was a bit nervous and had butterflies in my stomach. Henry always surprised me with big things. He absolutely loves the wilderness & going on adventures.…
