Miranda and
I
A couple of weeks after school got
out, I started babysitting my cousin Miranda while her mother Theresa
Shorty worked at the clinic. I babysat her from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00
Noon, and then from 1:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. from Monday through
Friday. I babysat for two and a half weeks, then Theresa had to take
my grandma to Anchorage for surgery. They were there for about a
month.
During that time, I went to fish camp
with my family. Our fish camp is at the mouth of Polty's Slough. At
fish camp I helped my mom and Andrea cut salmon to store for the
winter. I went for canoe rides with my sister, and I also went out
hunting for beaver with my dad. Since many days were hot and boring,
I just read books, either that, or we'd play cards. I stayed at camp
for a couple of weeks, then I came back home to babysit
again.
I babysat Miranda for quite a while,
then Theresa had to go to Bethel for some training. While she was
gone I helped my auntie Anna babysit Miranda. After two weeks passed,
Miranda and I went to Bethel to visit her mom. We went shopping for
groceries, some clothes and other stuff. While we were shopping, I
saw Elena Evan and her baby. I hung out with them and once we
chartered a cab. Miranda and I were in Bethel for a week, then we
came back home.
When I came back to Marshall Anna
told me I could have a break. So I took a week and a half off. Then I
had to help her babysit again. I would sleep by Miranda at night and
Anna would watch her during the day.
After I was done babysitting, I went
to St. Mary's for the Fiddling Festival. While I was there I hung out
with my cousin Gloria. We went to the teen dance and had a lot of
fun.
The next day I had to come back home,
and that was about all I did during my summer.
