My Summer By Jason

The first thing I did this summer was that my family drove to a family reunion on my mom’s side. We went to Yosemite National Park and saw the tall Sequoias. Then, we went to a hotel and swam quite a bit with my cousins, and the hotel had a pretty good breakfast too. San Francisco with my family was pretty fun because we did a variety of new things. The redwoods, which were equally as big as the sequoias, were cool because we road a gondola into the trees. After a seafood meal in Crescent City, we went home.
Family camp. There were over two hundred people there, mostly friends and some family. I got sick the first day that we were there. Might have gotten something from my brother because he had a bit of a cold the week before, so I was pretty tired the first day.  We were staying in cabins at the camp for a week. For the whole week the activities consisted mostly of swimming and basketball with cousins and friends which was a lot of fun.  After that, we went home.

In August, we drove to a cabin in Washington. We went to the reservoir and went kayaking a lot. I saw some tadpoles and caught a few, then put them back in the water. In some places there were so many tadpoles you couldn’t see the bottom of some of the shallow places in the water. My dad found a lizard and I caught it, took a picture of it and the picture is at the top of the page, then let it go. For a lot of the time, we were sitting around in the cabin by a fire reading which I liked because I got a chance to rest. I cut a path through some woods with my machete. We stayed there for four days. Then we came home.
