charater sketch: The trip with my Aunt Malia

The best time I’ve ever had with my aunt Malia was when I went to Willow creek where her and her husband live.  I think it was at the end of last summer, me, my sister, my two brothers, my dads girlfriend, and my dad, who's my aunts brother, all went up there for about two days to celebrate her husband Josh’s birthday.  It was really fun.  

The first night we were there we made a little fire down at the river and we used it to make some food.  I think it was some pesto noodles we brought down from my aunts house, some toasted bread with garlic and butter on it, some yummy berry pie Malia made, and then we had a few marshmallows afterword.  It was all really good.  
We staid down at the river until we all got tired then we went up to go to sleep in  their cool loft.

In the morning I woke up and my aunt was making some tasty breakfast for us.  After we ate at the table together, my aunt, her husband, my dad, and his girlfriend, went to work outside in the little garden.  Then me and my siblings went down to the river to get in the sun and go for a swim.  We had big inner tubes that we went on, and we would start from were the rapids weren't as big and we would ride down the river.  It was so fun, me and my big brother did it a million times over and over.

A little later we all drove to where the river started way up the road, where every one else swam.  We took out a red little boat canoe thing and the big inner tubes and started down the river.  This took a really long time, because the inner tubes weren't fast at all and either was the boat that you had to paddle with.  We were all starting to get cold because it wasn't sunny where we were any more.  But it was okay because we were really close to being where the trail was to the house, so we could get home and be all worm and cosy.
    When we got back we ate dinner and went to bed.  Well not really but I don't want to type it all down.  We either left the night before, or we left in the morning which I think we did, but I can not really remember.  But when we left we packed our stuff said goodbye and headed out the door.  Then we put our things in the car and got ourselves in our car, then we were ready to go.

This trip was so fun and I kept wanting to go up there again but we still haven't bean able to.  I hope we do some time soon.
