How I Spent My Summer Vacation…
Wow! Now I understand how the kids feel when they get this assignment for the 1st time. Looks like everyone got back to school okay, but to help myself understand what some of the little darlings are going through, I thought I’d give myself some homework. Hang on. It’s been a while since I wrote a paper…. of any kind! Here goes:
How I Spent My Summer Vacation??
How I spent my summer vacation…. is hard to remember. If you’ve heard the Rich and Gary Morning Show, you know I often forget Gary’s name. Please give me a moment while I check my day-planner. If I’d had a day-planner when I was 7, this assignment would have been wayyyyyy easier and I would have got an A+. Anyway, if I was 7, here’s how I’d write this assignment:
How I spent my summer was on my family trip to The Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls in June. They have these waterslides and stuff, inside and everything, so I got to act crazy!! Wa-WHOOOOO!! The best part was the wave pool. This light flashes on and off just before the waves start. Then you have to swim like crazy to stop from being sucked into the machine that makes the waves. Everyone screams when they’re in the waves….well….mostly the girls that is. It’s wayyy cool!!! (Or should that be ‘SiC’?)
There’s also this big bucket the dumps water on you if you wait a few minutes. Because the whole thing is inside, its like 29 degrees celcius all the time. That means you can hang around and use the waterslides longer than if you were outside.
My favourite part was this waterslide called The Vortex. But I called it The Toilet….That’s mostly because you ride down this slide on a raft then go round and round in this bowl until you get forced down this drain that looks like the bottom of a toilet. It’s way sic!! The sign at the top of this ride said Vortex, but we knew it needed to be called “The Toilet”. For the 3 days I was at the Great Wolf Lodge, everyone kept asking, “Hey, Rich, do you wanna go down The Toilet?”, or…”Rich, you look like you need to go down The Toilet.” I always said. “Yes”, so we did use the waterslide known as “The Toilet”. If you’re a grown-up and are stressed out, you should try “The Toilet” too.
The rest of the time we were there, we ate pizza and ice cream. We also went to Niagara Falls and rode in this giant ferris wheel. Some people got sick because it was so high up. I still liked it though.
For the other part of my vacation, I went to the beach and helped some good friends with chores around their house. And every night at 8, we would watch this guy on TV do this News show. He would yell at people and wave his hands while talking and holding a pen…. I think his name was Bill. I miss him because he seemed to know what he was doing and his show was very flashy. And he always gave me a new word to look up.
Anyway, that’s how I spent my summer vacation. By the way, is it too early to say that for Christmas I want a Red Rider Bee-Bee Gun with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time?
Thanks for reading this and welcome back everybody!!
