Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I like the creepiness of it. I also like that you can dress up and be something different for the night.

We carve pumpkins every year for Halloween. My dad helps me. We usually do this the weekend before Halloween. Sometimes, my mom even makes pumpkin seeds for our pumpkins.

As a kid, I would dress up for Halloween every year. Usually I would dress up as my favorite animal or T.V. character. I liked that. My parents and brother would dress up and go trick-or-treating, until Kaden got “too old.” I don’t think that you can be too old for Halloween. I believe that people of all ages can enjoy Halloween.

Now for Halloween, I sometimes dress up as something scary, such as a zombie. I pass out candy at my aunt and uncle’s house while they take their kids trick-or-treating. I like to see all of the kids dressed up. I also like to see  all of the kids excited for Halloween.

Halloween is a fun holiday for people of all ages. Just throw on a costume and have fun!

 

My family likes to spend a lot of time together. My grandparents own a cabin with seven bedrooms and three stories. It is not on the lake, although it is across the lake with lake access. We usually go up there every weekend with my: mom, dad, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. We go on my grandparent’s boat. We like to boat around and find a quite place to anchor the boat. Once there,  we swim.

We also sometimes go to Arnold’s Park at night to race go-karts. While racing go-karts, we usually push each other around and eventually get in trouble for it. We have a lot of fun even though some of the workers don’t like us. That’s what makes it fun.

We like to hang out at the cabin with our neighbors across the street. Lyda, our neighbor, likes to show us cool places in Okoboji. One time she even took us paddle boarding.

We always have a great time in Okoboji. We get brought closer together by hanging out with each other. I really enjoy being with them.
