Writing about Relatives

This week, we are spending time reading a story called The Relatives Came. It is written by Cynthia Rylant and illustrated by Stephen Gammel. Today we wrote about times that we have spent with our relatives near and far.




Sometimes in spring we go to North Carlina.I go with my mom,dad,my brother Sam and my granparents.It is very fun,we stay in fancy hotels with indoor pools. We also take long hikes to see waterfalls.The longest hike i ever took was 6 miles.That one we went to see rainbowfalls.It was so big.I usally drink half the water that we bring with us to take on hikes.I love North Carlina. -Sarah C.
