On Febuary break my family and I went to my cousins house in Starucca, Pennsylvania. They live in a town that is very small, but on the other hand their house is beautiful. They also have a pond that we swim in during the summer and a giant sleding hill that we slide on in the winter. Every year we go up there and we call this time the winterfest. I have four cousins and their names are Harrison, Caitlin, Natale and Jessica. I also have a Aunt Mary and a Uncle Matt. They have four dogs and their names are Molly[pug], Meg[cairn terrier], Kayla[dauschaund] and Margo[french bulldog]. If Meg got face to face with my dog Nicky, Meg would try to hurt Nicky and Nicky would hide under a chair! They kept all of the dogs (except Nicky) in the kitchen. When we were up there we had a blast sleding. I went on a sled with Natale and we flew off a jump and she landed on top of me! Then later Shaina, Harris, Caitlin, Natale, Mesha[their friend], Jessie, and I hooked our sleds together and made a train. The first run was sucessful but the other run wasn’t. Harris was the connector for the two sleds and he let go of the first sled with Jessie on it and the rest of us ran over Harris and made a giant dent in the run! Then Molly and Margo came running down the track to meet us as they always did. At the end of the day we all made it down to the pond[ the ice on it was 5 inches thick] and began the very long hike up the hill. On the day we had to leave we had a giant snowball fight, but Molly just ate the snowballs. While we were up there we saw some Charlie Chaplin slient films with a organ doing the music and then went to the Chinese Buffet and ate alot. while we were there we would also play card games and the computer game “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiago”. We even watched the Patrick for President marathon! I can’t wait to see them again.

At the back of the sled is Caitlin in the green, then Shaina, Mesha, Harris, Emmy and Natale. To see more pitures of my cousins house click here.
