This summer my favorite thing was going to the beach at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, riding the waves in the ocean, and riding body boards in the ocean. And going back to the place we were staying in for a week and playing in the pool. Going where my cousins and my grandparents’ room they were staying in and playing with my older cousin and we would go to their room and watch Food Network. My parents and I went walking and went to these stores and looked around. Then we went to Piggly Wiggly and Mom and Dad got some food. I got a shirt of Piggly Wiggly and went back. We would go to this book store called Barnes and Noble and we would go to these yummy restaurants. It was mostly seafood restaurants. While we were at the beach playing, we would play in the sand. My older cousin and I would turn my other older cousin into a mermaid. It took a long time but we got it done. On the last day my family would go to the beach and walk on the seashore and watch the sunrise. Then we would come back and pack up our stuff. When we got back to where we belong, we ate at a Mexican restaurant. Then we took a long nap because we had a long day that day.

This summer I went to Bristol Motor Speedway and drove around the speedway. I crashed once, you could touch my bone on my shoulder. I was okay then I put up a pool at my grandparents’ house and swam in it. I went to see my cousin in Marion, Virginia, then my other cousins in Richmond, Virginia. I went to Virginia Beach with them and my cousin from North Carolina. We swam in my pool and then school came and the fun ended. LOL.
