My Trip to Missouri

Authors note: I choose the topic "my trip to Missouri" because I had a lot of fun and I wanted to write about it.


My favorite vacation is when went to Missouri when I was ten years old. I went there with my friend we went down there to see my cousins, Cody, Ellie, Abbie and lexi. I love them all so much. When we got there it was about 6:30pm and the first that we did when we got there was, but our stuff down stairs. In the guest house, and then sierra and I went swimming with our cousins.

Later on that night when the kids had to go to bed at 8:30, once they had fallen asleep. It was about 9:00 and then at like 11:00 Sierra and I were bored of just watching TV and we asked if we could go night swimming. Peggy said yes. Sierra and I then went back downstairs go into out swimsuits and headed out side.

The next day Sierra and I woke up at about 9:00 am and went upstairs and saw all the kids up and eating breakfast. Sierra and I ate breakfast and then went swimming. When we were swimming Peggy and my aunt Sylvia asked if we would want to babysit for about 2 hours for all the kids and that they would pay us. We said yes. My aunt Sylvia said that they would be home about 7:30 and leave here about 5:00.

When we were babysitting Lexi was one at the time, so she still needed to have her diaper changed and I asked sierra to change it and she said no, so then I ended up changing her diaper…but I didn’t really care because it’s my cousin. It was then time for the kids to go to bed. I helped Lexi and sierra helped Ellie and Abbie, Cody didn’t need any help because he was seven years old. Them they all went to bed. We asked if we could go night swimming. Peggy said that was ok.

The next day in St. Louis it was July 27, 2010 and it was my birthday and I was turning 11 years old. Peggy asked me what was one thing that I wanted to do today for my birthday. I said to her that I wanted to go into the St. Louis Arch. Peggy said that, that would be ok and that we would leave the house at 2:30 so we had an hour to “primp”. Sierra and I each decided that we were going to take a shower. So Sierra took a shower first and then I did. We then left and we got lost and the way there, we found out way and got in to the arch and went to the top and took pictures and looked outside of the windows. We went home ate dinner and went swimming again. Then we watched TV and went to bed. The next morning we left St. Louis and got home at about 7:00. I loved having fun in St. Louis and made many memories
