My favorite thing to do with my family is go to water parks. We go to a lot of water parks in the summer. It’s relaxing in the warm summer. It cools you down. The water feels so good and with the warmness of summer, it’s a miracle. The slides that some water parks have are amazing! My family and I have so much fun!

My favorite thing to do with my family is go to Pigeon Forge every year. They have a lot of things to do down there like Ripley’s Aquarium, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Wonder Works, and Dollywood. Our favorite out of all of them has got to be Dollywood because we all love the water rides like the Rampage and Dare Devil Falls. When I was 7 my older sister Lexie cured my fear of rollercoasters. She took me on the Blaze and Fury. That was the first roller coaster I ever rode. I still have not ridden the Wild Eagle. I will do that next time we go. It is really fun getting to do that every year. I hope it never changes.

My family and I love to play board games. My cousin Caroline and I love to play Clue, Checkers, and Monopoly. I also play in the snow with my big sister Kaley. Kaley and I have snowman building contests. One time I built one big snowman and I thought it was too big so I crushed it and made it into a throne.

My brother’s and my favorite activity is football. We love football. We cannot play football now because he has a broken hand. We cannot play football but I can tell you about when we did play football. My brother and I got off the bus and I went to my bedroom to get the football because we are going to play football in the yard. My brother is stronger than me. He is 15 and I am 10. So who do you think is going to win? I kicked the football off and my brother has the ball at the 20 yard line. He ran for a touchdown and he is running as fast as he can and I am scared because he can run fast. I can take out his feet so I am not as scared as I was. He is still running and he is at the 40 yard line. I tack out his feet so he is down at the 50 yard line now. He said I am going to get a touchdown. I said no you are not going to, brother. Then he said down, set, hut. He runs and then he makes a touchdown. It is 7 to nothing. He kicks it off to me and I get it at the 10 yard line. I am running as fast as I can go and he gets me at the 50 yard line. Then I said down, set, hut. Then I get a touchdown so it was tied.
Travis Eldridge, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin
My family’s and my favorite activity is to play with my chickens. We play with them for a long time. Isaiah’s is a bane roust and a hen to play with in the house. I have a big check to play with but not to bring in the house. Sometimes a bear gets my chickens. My mom plays with my chickens too. Clark plays with his chickens and I play with Clark’s chickens too. Isaiah plays with them too and we all play with them too.

I like to go to the movies with my family! We go see all sorts of movies. The last movie we saw was Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. It was really good, but in the movie some parts scared me. In the movie a dinosaur was looking at a girl through a window curtain. That was the scariest part in the movie for me! But it was really good for me and my family!

My favorite activity to do with my family is to play board games. I like playing board games with them because we’re competitive but we have fun.

My favorite family activity is our Sunday night dinners. My whole family is always all over the place so on most nights, my mom will cook and everybody just eats in their bedrooms. But almost every Sunday I get to cook a big meal and everybody actually eats at the dinner table and it’s always a lot of fun.

Chelsea Ayers, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite activity to do with my family is going to any sort of ballgame. The sort goes from softball, basketball, and football. Either I’m playing or my sisters are. Maybe sometimes we just go watch the Friday night football games for the fun of it.

My favorite activity to do with my family is mini golf. I love it because we can all compete with each other. You can also socialize with each other as you putt a “hole-in-one”! I know that if you win, you also get to celebrate all the way until you get home. If you never have tried it, you need to go. Go get your mini golf on!
