home

playing basketball at night with my mom, my brother, and his friends
trying to rollerblade down my driveway
going to national club conventions and telling everyone about Tennessee and my town
going on adventures in the woods with my big brother
making a giant snow man the one time it snowed all winter long

In the summer my brother and I used to go into the woods and follow the creek by our house like we were on an adventure. We would stay gone all day just walking around until we heard my mom call for us because she didn't know where we had gone. We never told her where we were going, I guess she assumed we were all right. Once, we found what called a cave. It was really just where the ground had fallen in underneath a tree so the roots hung down, and it was always went like a cave from the creek. We used to go everyday to see if we could farther than the day before. In actuality, I think we'd only traveled about 3 or 4 acres.
