Writing about relatives

This week, we are reading a book by Cynthia Rylant called The Relatives Came. We have also been writing about visits with our own relatives.



*Every year I go to Indiana to see my mom's side of the family. I go there for Thanksgiving and Chrismas but at different houses, I also go there for a reunion.The name of the reunion is the Grams Open. Every year when my dad and my brother go golfing I stay at the house in Indiana and go swimming if it's hot enough outside. When we go to Indiana for Chrismas we go a couple of days after December 25th we go like on the 27th. Thats a really fun celabration! We also trade presents at Chrismas. For Thanksgiving we eat really good ham and turkey.There's also really good desserts. When we go to Indiana for the Grams Open we sometimes we get to go swimming. It's really fun! -Allison
