1. A Mexico Nightmare
I was in Yelapa. I really wanted to go back to
the city (Puerto Vallarta). The only way to get
there is by boat. So my dad said that it would be
better if we went tomorrow but I said "I really
want to go through!” So we got on the boat (crammed with people) and went
off. Well, my dad was right in the middle of the ride and it started to rain.
There was no top on the boat so we were soaking wet and a hurricane was
coming in so when we landed on shore there was a flash flood. Our car was
floating away! We drove past some landslides and as my dad was helping to
get a land slide away another land slide crashed down right in front of my eyes!
And a boulder hit our car! We went to a hotel right before town (we had our
dog with us!) because a land slide that was humongous it practically had 100
boulders, 120 trees and 1 ton of dirt!

2. My Boring Vacation
My summer vacation turned out to be boring. It
was so boring that I didn't know what else to do.
Luckily my dad put back the internet and told us
that we could use it again. I like to go online
almost every single day and I meet a lot of
people. What is so interesting about it is that I can
do anything I want to and so here I am writing my summer vacation
down. Summer is one of the times where you can like just do stuff. Not
like stay in your house and read, watch television etc. Which are boring
things to do. Just to tell you what I think I'm not going to have a blast
here in my house. All I do all day is play video games, watch television
and log on internet a lot and do stuff. Sometimes I'd rather go out instead
of staying home because I get bored easily. Beside I think I'm missing a
lot out here.

4. The Scariest
Vacation
Once, we went on a vacation trip
that I will truly never forget. It
was a few years ago. We went
canoeing, a couple of girls and
me. While we were paddling, a girl leaned over to catch a minnow.
Unfortunately, the boat tipped over! Nobody was killed, but a girl was
nearly drowned, and another was nearly crushed by between the bridge
and the heavy canoe. Both of them were all right. It was truly the
scariest trip in my whole life.
