Winter Whoops


                BANG BANG BANG! I wake up to a loud pounding on the door that shook the entire cabin. I crawl out of bed and peek out of the window to see my friends, Jackie and Lexi, and Jackie's father standing outside with their chocolate Labrador, Dewy. I wander out of my room to go greet them and welcome them inside. When they walked in they were deck out in snow pants, gloves, jackets, boots, and hats. They ask if my sister and I will go on a walk with them and I happily agree and go get my sister.

                As we walk outside in our outerwear we see the beautiful winter day in Lewiston, Michigan. The fresh snow made the outdoors look like a winter wonderland. We start down the road and enter the forest path. The snowy branches along the path were being shaken by Jackie's dad, having all the snow fall onto us. As we reach our destination in the forest, the fallen tree that was knocked over in the summer by a tornado, Dewy is let off his leash to run freely.

                As we normally do we start to climb the fallen tree walking along the sturdy trunk. We have our normal competition to see who could walk the furthest down the tree without falling off. This was not an easy task because the further down you got the trunk the narrower the path got. When we got half way down the trunk the ice my two of us gave up and only Jackie and I was left standing. Even when Jackie gave up I still went on. As I started to walk past another fork in the branches there was a snap. I fell straight down, landed on my feet like a cat, and in shock hear everyone laughing. I only fell three feet but it startled me and ask the others asked if I was okay trying not to giggle some more, I join in the laughter.
