Personal Narrative On Soda Springs
gine flying down a hill head first in the snow on an inner-tube, spinning out of control My dad and I spent the day in Boreal Ski Resort racing down on a snow covered mountain. It was awesome! It was perfect day in Tahoe but that was only part of the adventure. Our adventure began, the weekend of Thanksgiving we were off to visit Soda Springs! We were going to visit my great-grandmother's cabin it was and there was a storm coming in. Just 4 hours to go. We drove to Auburn and had dinner. After a delicious meal my dad said that we should go get the food for Thanksgiving. Both my mom and I disagreed because we were way too tired to shop my dad said that he could get it tomorrow morning. We jumped into the car and we were off again! Just 1 hour …show more content…
We were really disappointed to see that there wasn't much snow. We arrived at the cabin, we were so excited. We entered the cabin. It was freezing and late! We cuddled up into the blankets and fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up and my dad and my mom both were both not around. I went upstairs my mom was sizzling bacon on a pan I ask my mom “Wheres dad?” She replied “He went to go get the thanksgiving meal for tonight.” I sat down on the couch and got my dad's computer and a blanket and started to watch a movie. Later, my dad called my mom. They talked for a minutes we looked out the window, I saw my dad outside in his car stuck in the snow, my mom went outside to try to help him but she couldn't do anything. Then after a couple of hours the neighbors came and snowplowed the driveway for my dad to come up.
The snow continued throughout the rest of the day and the next day. The following day once it stopped snowing my dad had an idea that we take some sleds and go on top of a hill and ride down it. We snowshoed to the top of the hill and we saw some deer, birds, raccoons on the way. Once we were at the top we tried to sled down but it wasn't steep enough to sled down and we got upset. We walked back home. Then a few hours later it was finally time to have thanksgiving dinner there was, a turkey, stuffing, steamed carrots and it was

    It was going to be a short ride only about 4 hours altogether through the South Dakota mountains. About an hour into our ride, we reached the mountains and as soon as we did Brody, Eli, Maddy, and I rode our horses to the top of the mountains. When we reached the top of the mountains we got off our horses and looked out over the South Dakota scenery, it was a beautiful view. I have never seen a better view in my life. You could see so far since we were up so high in the air and when we looked down at Tommy and Cassie they looked like ants. After we took a few pictures we headed back down to Tommy and Cassie. We went a little further after we got down from the mountain and then we turned back and headed towards camp. We arrived back at camp we washed, fed, and watered the horses. When we were done with that stuff we made a fire and started carving on sticks for a competition we were having and then at about 11 we went to…

    It was 2009 and I had been in sixth grade for a couple of months. I was on the phone with one of my friends from school when my mom called through my door for me to come out into the living room. I ignored her and kept talking for a few minutes when she called me out again. I rolled my eyes and told my friend I would call her right back. I walked into the living room and it seemed odd to me that both my sisters and dad were all out there too. I watched my mom take a deep breath with my dad by her side. As she began to speak her voice shook and gloss covered her eyes. “The doctors found a lump in my last mammogram.” she said. “It came back as cancer. I’m going to have to get treatment but I’m going to be okay.” No one else said a word, we all…

    After the ride we couldn’t decide what other ride we should go on. I decided that we should stop and eat really quickly because we haven’t eaten anything in a awhile. So I was looking and any random place and I saw turkey leg. Then I let everyone know, and they all agree that we should stop and eat some turkeys. When we went to the line we all looked at the menu and the turkeys were really expensive but since we are so hungry we just figured we should just buy it and because one leg was so big. We all had one and enjoyed it a lot. Now that we all got something to eat we were ready to ride on some more rides.…

    My winter break was really exciting, and I did a lot of the things that I wanted to do. On the first weekend of our break I stayed at home, my parents got sick so we couldn't go anywhere. After about 3 days they finally got better, that was when the fun actually began. The next day, I went to my Grandma's house in the U.S, we arrived on Christmas Eve, right when I stepped out of the car I ran straight to the front door. After waiting by the door for 2 minutes, she finally let us in. It was Christmas Eve, my dad was there, so I thought I could challenge him to a match of pool. We went downstairs and set up the pool balls. It was my break, what do I have to say I always scratch when I break, this time I actually got a few balls in and If I can remember the 15 ball of stripes and the 5 ball of spots. It was a pretty intense match, in the end I lost badly. Actually I only lost by the 8 ball. After the match we went upstairs shocked to see that it was midnight. My dad told me to go brush my teeth and hop into bed. I rushed as fast as I could because I knew the next day I would get PRESENTS. When I woke up it was Christmas, I got a lot of stuff that I wanted. Cash was to the top of my list this Christmas because I need money so that I can buy my own xbox 360. I then opened more presents and ate with the rest of my family. I came back to Maple Ridge that evening so I could spend time with my friends. I ended up only staying here until Thursday night at which time I went back to the U.S. On Friday morning I was so excited, my mom said that she would take me to get an xbox 360, she finally suckered up and said that she would pay for half of it. I got really excited, I was pleading to my mom, asking her to hurry up so we could leave. We finally left, I arrived at GameStop and purchased it, my wish came true. On the second weekend of our break my grandma came over, it was her birthday the next day but also the New Years. We all…

    My most memorable day started out with my brother and me visiting my grandmother by bicycle for lunch on a Saturday. We rode our bikes without incident to her house but on the return trip, my brother's bike broke. I got off my bike and walked it with him until we got to a long steep hill that led to the railroad tracks we needed to cross. Before the railroad tracks there was a small dirt jump built by some kids a few weeks back. I left my brother and rode down the hill to pick up speed to go off the jump. As I reached the bottom of the hill, I could feel the wind ripping at my face so I looked down at my bike computer and saw that I was going 30mph. Tried to slow down but with no success due to the loose gravel this made me go off the jump slightly turned to the right.…
