What I Do With My Friends

           In my neighborhood, there are a bunch of guys I like to hang out with on the weekends. There are about 8 of us that get together and do whatever we want. We all live so close together we can call or text each other and meet up in a matter of minutes. We always just joke around and have fun. These days are always the highlights of my week. 

          On the snow days, we would all put on a bunch of layers of clothes and play football in the cold. Now that it is heating up, we usually go swimming at the creek or at someone’s house, or play trampoline basketball. Trampoline basketball has to be my favorite and it will never get old. It is slam dunk after slam dunk and there is always laughing. What’s not to like about that?? 

           The best part about these days is just being with your best friends and enjoying the moment. We can all forget about all that homework or the chores we need to do around the house and just enjoy each other. I really hope we can continue to do this throughout the summer. 

Skiing

Flying down the mountain with snow flying in my face and my heart pounding. I can see the end of the run right ahead and make one last sprint to the finish. At last, I come to a stop at the bottom of the mountain with a big smile on my face.

“Let’s do it again!” I shout. “Ok fine but just this last time,” my dad says. So we head up the ski lift again and again, gliding down new, undiscovered slopes. Even when I wipeout I laugh at myself. Everything about skiing seems to be a blast. An exhilarating rush goes through the body and I am able to forget about everything else and just have fun.

Whether I’m with my dad, my brother or my friends—skiing is one of the best things in the world. I especially like weaving through trees and getting some air on bumps and hills. It’s like a little obstacle course on skis and snow.

Nothing beats skiing with a nice cup of hot chocolate afterwards!
