 * Going to The Water Park**

This summer I went to a water park hotel. It was awesome. There were 2 long, huge water slides. They both went through the shiny glass window, went outside,and back inside. There was a red and a green water slide. The red one was superduper fast. It curved very often, and inside at night it was pitch black. Now the green one, it was calm, didn't turn nearly as often, and was never completely dark. Those were the water slides.

At the water park there was also a whirlpool. A whirlpool is a circle pool that almost never stops spinning. That pool was busy, because everybody wanted a try. At the normal pool it was also busy. It was busy, because there was a tiny basketball hoop and many teenagers were playing. Next there was the kiddy pool. The kiddy pool had a playset in it. I thought the playset was cool, because it had a miny water slide. It was yellow. It also had a climbing rope thing. Above it was a huge bucket. What it would do is fill up with water and it would dump it all over the playset. Also in the middle of the playset it had a few mini fountains. Right across from the playset there was a game. This is how you would play the game. There were 5 circle (fake) logs. You could use a rope to help, or try it on your own. When I tryed it on my own I fell and scraped my toe. It was bleeding a little bit. Also it hurt and stung a little bit.That is what I did during part of my summer.


 * It Struck us.**

RRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!! That was the sound of the tornado siren. My mom was on the computer and she looked outside, and it was turning a grayish color. The wind wass blowing very strong, and it was wicked. My mom looked outside again said,"Girls go to the basement!" We did.

We were all in the basement now. Hannah my sister and me were getting very board, and sleepy. I followed her into the kids room, and flopped on the bed. A few minutes later there was this huge ball of lighting, and it looked like a 3D movie! My mom got shocked, because she was touching the stereo. "MOMM" I screamed.

My mom went upstairs to check on everything. All of the sudden she smelled something. Sniff, Sniff, Sniff. It was SMOKE that she smelled. She screamed "GIRLS GO NEXT DOOR!!!!!" We ran next door as fast as we could.

When my mom came nexy door ,too, my mom called the fire station. I went down stairs with my friend Abby, her little brother Mike, and little sister Alease. We watched some diseney shows like Hannah Montana and Sweet Life of Zack and Cody. Then we heard something in the distance. It was the sirens of the different trucks.

They finally got there. There were 7 fire trucks, 2 ambulance, 1 air car, and people from other streets. The people probably heard the sirens and wanted to see what had happened. Everything was OK. The carpet in my moms and dads room was a little burt. It was burt around the airvent and another little spot a little bigger than a quarter. My mom called my dad "You need to get home NOW."

"I still need to work." exclaimed my dad. He finaly decided to come home. They said to Hannah and me "Everything will be OK."

That was the time my house got struck by lighting. That time was very,very,very scary.
