Spring Break Slice of Life

Posted by: kelgarneal | March 22, 2008 | 22 Comments |



The other day, a friend of mine called and asked if Sadie Lou Who and I would like to go for a walk at the lake.  It was a nice day, and I needed a break from cleaning house, so I said, “Sure.”  Sadie and I loaded up in the car and headed to Dewey Short Nature Trail by the dam.  If you have never been there, you need to go.  It is a great place to walk, run, rollerblade, bike, etc.  Living out past SDC, we watched the miles and miles of cars attempting the trek for a day of fun on the rides at the City.  I was really glad to not be in that line and going the other direction!

We pulled into Dewey Short, helped my friend unload her kids’ bikes, only to find out that the trail was closed on this end due to the extreme flooding we have had recently in B-town.  We loaded back up and headed to the state park end hoping for more success.  Needless to say, this end of the trail was also closed.  An elderly couple informed us that we could go around the barrier and walk for a ways before the trail would get bad.  So, I thought, “How bad could it really be?”  Let me tell you, the water was sooo high, you could not even see the paved trail anymore!  This weather is sooo crazy!

Well, we headed back to the picnic area with Sadie thinking she was adventure dog and running through every puddle she could find.  Remember, my dog is vertically challenged, so it made for a nice wet belly mess in my car.  At the picnic area, we encountered all the tables and barbecue pits submerged in water all the way to their tops.  My friend’s daughter decided to run down and wade through the flood to climb up on a half submerged park bench.  We both yelled at her to get down as it probably was not safe, but kids will be kids and she paid no attention, that is, until…

“Snake!”  yelled her sister’s friend, Amber.  Now, you know Mrs. N and snakes, they do not go together!  I looked straight down to where she was and swimming right next to her in the water was a Copperhead!  She flew off that bench faster than Superman to a rescue!  How she got away, I do not know, but I was not about to go to her rescue.  My feet were glued to the pavement.  It would have taken an army to get me loose!

So, that is a slice out of my spring break life.  Let’s hear one of yours.  I am sure you have tales to tell:)

Hey Mrs. Neal!!
The slice of life for my spring break was when Kari had surgery on her knee. Since she got hurt 2 Mondays ago, she went to the doctor on Wednesday and then the doctor said that she would be in surgery Thursday and out of track for the season. So since she had the surgery, she is on cructhes for 6 weeks and I have to help her do things like get out of bed and things having to do with walking. so this is my slice of life for Srping Break. Talk to you later…

Hi Mrs. Neal! Over Spring Break, my mom was babysitting this bratty little 8 year old girl named Carissa, and so we went to Splash Country just to make the little twerp happy. As you know, I have a baby sister, and she is 8 months old now. We decided to put on her little swim suit * she looks so cute in it* and go on the lazy river. So, we’re drifting along, my sis laying on my mom’s lap, then I turn around and my mom says ” My lap just got warm.”

my slice of life is that i went to florda. i loved going to the beach. my favorite thing that i did in florda was that i went deep sea fishing. it was awsome.

” Mom,” I said “I need more fans, the carpet in the basement is wet.” I showed my Mom the carpet where it was wet. She started to help me get out the water.
My Mom called my Dad and told him the carpet was wet. He had us use his Wet/Dry Shop-Vac on the carpet. It did not do much because the carpet got wetter and wetter.
We stopped trying to get the water up because it was a losing battle. Some of our neighbors helped us pull out the carpet and padding. We put the padding in a pile on the driveway, we put the carpet on the driveway to dry.

My spring break slice of life was when me and my mom got to spend time together. Well normally my mom is working 24/7, so I never have time to spend with her. So one of the days me and my mom went shopping and went to a movie called Never Back Down . After that we went to the Track (it was track 4). Thats had I spent my spring break slice of life vacation. See you later!!!!!! Deneen C.

Well Mrs. Neal,

It all started when my friend (Fluff Bunny) Wanted to go outside and shoot air-soft guns. When we when out my neighbors were outside.
We were shooting to the left of them and they came over to the left by us telling us to shoot them and making faces at us. So we started shooting over were they used to be playing.
Then they cam over there so we moved to shooting rock on my property. So, they came on my yard running back and forth in front of us while we were shooting the ground. So i shot a rock and it hit the little boy in the arm and he started cring and then they called there mom and said hurry up and get home Roger Rabbit got shot in the arm! When there mom got home she came up to my house and talked to me and she almost called the Police on me and Fluffy Bunny.

P.S. You like my names, D to the alton, Fluffy Bunny and Roger Rabbit. lol (laugh of loud)

My slice of life for spring break is about what happened to me on Easter. I still hunt for Easter eggs with my bro and sis and when I was getting out one of the eggs that I had founded inside the flower pot at my house and it was really heavy and we use real boiled eggs and this was not any plain old dyed and boiled Easter egg. It was a turtle’s egg and it was this tan-ish color. But in the end my sis ended up eating my eggs without know and got sick and my mom ended up laughing behind her back while she was sick.

My spring break was…………….DULL all i wanted to do is sleep!!!!! but I did go on the branson scenic railway for the first time. it was really fun.

My slice of life for my spring break was when I was at my Dad’s house for half the week. We worked on remodeling a bathroom, we had to use a jig saw to cut stuff, put nails in things, use power tools, all that good stuff. I also got to see all my old friends at Berryville, their spring break is this week, and played with their 6th grade band. It’s funny, I didnt know that everyone there cared so much about me untill I left because, now everyone is so happy to see me everytime I go over there to visit. They always ask why I moved to Branson and how I should come back. I miss all my old friends and teachers there haha. That’s my slice of life for spring break. I gotta go, my fingers are starting to hurt really bad, so I will see you later.

The slice of life for my spring break was when my frind called me and ask me if I could shoot BB gunes at ester egg.

My break was cool. I got to play basketball at the park. That is where I met a 6’8 7th grader. It was really nice day. Then we went skating at the knew skating rink. Then we had a awesome dinner ,my grandma made. That is my slice of life.

My spring break was awesome and my slice of life for it was over the weekend when I got a club penguin account and for a present my friend’s mom paid for a month of club penguin. It’s free but if you are a paying member you can get more stuff with your coins that you earn. So I was playing around and they have a surfing game and I played on it and made friends with some of the other penguins. It was fun and best of all it’s just for kids. You create your penguin and choose its first color and you can buy all the other colors if you want them. So I spent all night on that. That is my slice of life.

This spring break I was going to go to Orlando, Florida. We got up early that morning loaded the car and drove to the airport.
When we got to the airport we found out the flight had been canceled we were there forever trying to find another flight that day. We did but none of the flights had room for all of us. So we went home and didn’t go anywhere. Trenton =) =D =]

Hey Mrs.Neal,
This is what My silce of life over spiring break I had my famly down. We had a lot of fun B.B.Q.
That all we did on spring break.

Over spring break I had strep throat it hurt like crazy. I cried when I had to swallow because it was so sore. There was nothing that could stop the pain I was feeling. It was Friday when I started to really notice it. I had it for about two days then my sister started to get it. My dad got really mad and he took my sister and me to the hospital. The doctor said we had strep. We went to Target and got the prescriptions. We took the medicine after about two days my sister was feeling better but, I wasn’t. I ended up having to go back to the hospital to get more medicine because the first round didn’t work. So yeah that was my spring break.

Mrs. Neal,
Over Spring Break I went hiking in the woods behind my house. It was my step-sisters, my brothers, my step-brother,my step-dad, and I. When we were back there my step-dad caught a red belly snake. I absolutely hated it. When we got back in the house I got a a jar. We put the snake in the jar. (The jar was shaped weird so it couldn’t come out.) Then we went to go get food. When we came home my mom had just got back from work. We presented the hidious creature to her. She thought it was ugly. The next morning we all woke up. Burton, my step-dad, was looking around for something. I asked what he was looking for, he said the snake was loose in the house. I started to freak out! He said it couldn’t have gone to far. I was still scared I mean just imagine it, you being asleep then feeling something slimy crawling up your leg. EWWWWW!!!! We never found it, we think it’s in my brothers’ room in all the mess. Well thats a slice of my Spring Break.

Spring Break Slice Of Life
On my Spring break I went to the White River Fish Company and ate there with my Grandma and Grandpa Kalwi for Alliey’s birthday dinner. After that we all went back to my grandparent’s hotel room. Alliey and I had so much fun. We ran outside barefoot, climbed trees, and then, we caught lizards, bugs, and worms.
The next day, I was running with my dog, Ruby, and I went down the creek we made last summer, and almost fell down a ten-foot water fall. So I guess you could say I had a pretty normal Spring break.

I really like Branson school because I made a lot of friends, but it was really hard to leave my friends at Taneyville, and Aurora. I’m glad I did move though, because I like it alot better here.

Hi Mrs.N,

I have a new slice of life now it is that a month ago I went to KC to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousin for a week. Then I came home and rested for a week. Next off to Destin, Florida for a week. I came home and rested for a week. Next I went to Camp Lookout at C of O for a week. Came home Friday the 1st and am resting this week. Then my Dad said that he would take me on vacation next week I think we’re going to Disney in California for a week. And you guessed it I’m going to come home and rest for a week. Then… school starts!!! (Remember these weeks are around a week not exact). So my slice of summer life is sooo full. I’m tired of this about a week thing!

I’ll try to talk to you later and tell you the details of everything by e-mail later!
