Summer is my favorite time of year. I mean who can blame me. Not only is school out but field hockey starts. I get to travel around to different field hockey camps and learn new skills. This summer I am going a camp at James Madison. Last summer I went to world camp where proffesional field hockey players from all over the world came to teach us. They taught me a lot and their lack of english language was entertaining. Our favorite thing to do was to come up with somewhat difficult english words and try to explain to them what it meant. It always ended up with us on the floor laughing because they would get so confused over these simple english words. By the end of the camp I also picked up a few words from different languages too. The one coach was from Holland and he taught us a bunch of silly games from his country like their version of red light-green light. There version was called "foto model" though.

Field hockey isn't the only reason I love summer. The main reason I love summer is because of vacation. I have large family because my mom had six kids in her family. This leads to a lot of cousins for me. My cousins are a lot of fun because out of all of my cousins six of the are around my age. For the past two summers all of the families on my moms side rented a huge house in North Carolina. The houses usually contain around 10 or 11 bedrooms. Both of the houses had an elevator, pool, hot tub, and endless space to play hide and seek. Just the elevator alone was a lot of fun. We would just sit in it and ride up and down all day. Our house was right on the beach so we would stay out all day. This summer we tried to mix it up a bit and instead of north carolina we are renting a large house on lake arrow head. It isn't quite as large as our others ones because it only has 6 bedrooms but I hope it is still fun. The inside of this house is amazing. It was designed by the same designer that designed disney's animal kingdom.

In the summer I am also going to hershey park 3 times. I got one free ticket because last year when at hershey park with sarah gardner, a squirrel attacked her mother. My other two tickets I bought so I could go once with friends and once with family. This summer I am also n planning to run many 5k races or maybe a half marathon race. I might volunteer with some friends at leg up farm too. This summer will be very busy but I think it will be a lot of fun.

Winter is my second favorite season because I am still in school but I get to ski and snowboard at least three times a week. Spring is my third favorite season because I am very busy. I have track, band, clarinet lessons, diving, on a field hockey team at lanco, and participate in many field hockey torunaments. Fall is my least favorite because all I do is field hockey which is fun but I really dislike field hockey preseason.
