Snow Day

On Friday snow,actual snow fell. down on to the ground in AUSTIN TEXAS. “No school!” That’s what I’m hearing as I wake up from my sister’s friend, Lena. When she comes in and wakes me up.

Yes! half asleep I scrambled out of my bed down stairs. “Is school really canceled?” I ask my mom, very excited while looking out side at a white-icy-cold-substance that I never see.

“Yep no school today.” Great I think while my mom was still in the middle of her sentence.

Later that day l went down the hill on my blue-trash-can-shaped-sled to see if my friend Margaret was free. We both went and sledded down the hill for a while. I got off my sled and just let it slide down the hill for a while laughing about how it was just sledding down the hill. “No, it’s going to go down the gutter,” Margaret shout and then… Gosh it went in and I couldn’t get out anymore.

My mom suggested to go look in this graveyard of pipes to see if it went down. Of course with my luck it wasn’t there. We both went the back way through some woods and over a very slick icy bridge. There in the woods was a broken trampoline with two big gaping holes on the side. I went on and every time I jumped or walked a little, the ice-snow would break into sheets and go to the middle. Crack, crack, crack– that’s what I heard every time. At first it sounded and felt like it was going to rip. Every time I moved, my eyes bulged and opened wide thinking that something would happen then I would relax.

A little while later we made Olaf and it stood forever, and then at the very last second he fell and broke! Oh no I think it took forever. I was hoping that we could still fix it but by now I wasn’t sure. “Please. Please. I don’t want to remake him,” I thought to my self.

” Yes, finally, WE DID IT.” I said as he sat there. It was quite an impressive Olaf, if I do say so myself.

The weather SUMMER

The scrorching hot sun in my eyes. Burning my bear feet on the concrete on the way to the pool. My melting ice cream cone in my hands.

There in the heat of July I dash into the pool to cool down. My mom lyed there sleeping on the chair with her book face down on her chest. While my brothers, sisters, friends, and I all splash around in the pool.

“Marco,”calls my sister covering her eyes.

“Polo!” We all shout back.

That day was record breaking temperature 103!!! , hottest day of the season. So hot I fact that when I got out of the pool I was dry with in 3 minutes. By the sun absorbing all of the water.
