Trip to Mtn. Village

One of the fun things did was go down to Mtn. Village to visit one of my friends.

At the beginning of July 1 told my friend, Olga, that I would go down and visit her. I woke up in the late afternoon not really expecting to leave so late in the day, but when I went into the livingroom my dad asked if I was ready. I was wondering what in the world he was talking about. Then I finally decided to ask my mom, and she told me Donna and I were going to Mtn. Village with the last flight downriver. So I quickly packed all the things I needed for a couple of days, not even bothering to take a shower. When the plane arrived my dad brought me out to the airport. I got on the plane and was excited to leave.

When I got to Mtn, Village, Olga and her mom were waiting for me at the airport. They brought me down to their house and told me to make myself at home. I brought my bags and other things to Olga's room, Later on that day I took a shower and Olga and I got ready to go out. We really didn't do anything that night but meet a whole bunch of people that I didn't know. Before we went home, though, my new buddies and I went to play basketball at the court down by the old elementary school building.

For the couple of days I was there we did the same things over and over again, like walk around, ride with my cousin,Gunny, and his friends in his truck, play basketball and go knee boarding with Frank, Allen, Gunny, Olga, and Donna. I was kind of excited to come home because it started to get boring down there and I was also getting tired of having my sister with me all the time.
