Camp wilderness Intro

Well I hope you like it if you read the intro. I will put more parts of the story up Later!

This all started a while back, oh I say about 4 months ago when it was snowing, and no flowers had begun to bloom yet. Back when I had plans of sun tanning this summer. When I thought I would go to Hawaii and Disney World. Back when I thought that my summer would be the greatest ever. When we got back to school and kids asked me: “What did you do this summer I planned to say, that I spent mornings watching the sun rise from my balcony, and watched it set at the breezy beach. I wanted to tell them I spent my birthday in Paris, France. I hate to even think of that day, but this is how it went.
Oh my goodness! What is she thinking? Have you ever herd some crazy idea that you think could not be more ridiculous? Well I just herd one, a horrible one. At first I thought it was a joke. How could she possibly be serous? So I laughed at the idea, something this stupid could not be true, right? No ,I was wrong, of course nothing new. My Grandmother called my mother with tears, saying that I had hurt her feelings. That she thought that it was a marvelous idea and she was going to do it. Why would she want to start a stupid summer camp? I mean nobodies going to come to it, because there is nothing to do up there, but look at animals, climb a tree, and get eaten by a wolf! So my mother made me call her and apologize. She told me to say I thought it was a marvelous idea too, after I thought about it. I got into trouble because I told my mother she was turning me into a liar. So I ended up being forced to call my Grandmother, sent to my room, and grounded for a week. Why can’t I just agree with everything, I always have to state my opinion? Why can’t I be quit, like a sleeping baby?
So I was ungrounded after a week. I also had to make a website for my Grandmother’s Wilderness camp. I just don’t want her to get hurt, that’s all. Why can’t she just come and see me this summer, why does she have to be adventurous, and try something new. I am just going to let her do it. She will learn that kids would much rather be in the sun, than surrounded by a bunch of wood. She will learn. Just give it until April.



So April did come around, and no word from Grandmother. I knew I was right, I know what it is like to be a kid. I had a blast on Spring Break. I went to Cape Cod with all my best friends. We decided we were going to girly-camp, again this summer. We would have a month of family time, and then off we go. On the last night we went to the beach. It was so much fun. Grandmother called me when we were going back to the inn. I knew that she was going to call me upset, so I prepared to hear her cry for a while.
When I answered though she didn’t seem sad she was pretty neutral. I was totally confused because it wasn’t even time for our weekend call. Hi Grandma, how are you doing…? This conversation went on for a while. Just before we hung up she just gave it to me easy. “Oh and by the way my summer camp will be taking place this summer, bye darling.” She hung up the phone, and I sat on the end of my bed speechless. Did I hear what I just herd? No it can’t be. What? Well Grandmother won in the way that her idea was good. I won in the way that I didn’t have to baby-sit all summer. I would be in the sun, who goes to wilderness for a summer? Well its over, the battle anyway. At least I would be learning about the French culture this summer. We both get what we want.





I got home from my trip, fully relaxed and knew that I only had a month and a half of school left. Nothing could get in my way! I was on my IM with all my best friends, when my mother got on our intercom. She announced that we had a family meeting down stairs in ten minutes. I was so excited, she would be announcing what our summer plans were. I just hope that she doesn’t have us go to Paris in July, because Florida is the hottest at that time. I signed off quickly, I just can’t wait to find out when would be going to Paris. After school got out I would be in Girly-Camp with all my friends. Then we got our time with our families for the rest of summer. I got there and my little brother was down there with a smile. He must already know that he is going to baseball camp again this year. I sat down at the table were my mom had all of her broachers and everything together. I knew I was so cheezing, but I couldn’t stop smiling. O.K. Porter family, are you ready for the big vacation plans? I am mother, so get on with it, I said. “Claire um, well you are going to your Grandmother’s summer camp this year.”
What are you talking about? I’m going to Girly-Girl Camp with my friends! What about Hawaii, Disney World, and Paris? Daddy do something! Sorry Claire, but your mother and I discussed this; it will be the best thing for you. You can spend time with your Grandmother and be supportive. Supportive, what about my summer, all my plans, my birthday in Paris! UHHHHHHHHHHHH… I can’t stand this my whole stupid summer rewind. I ran to my room, I was way to upset to talk. My little brother still gets to go to his camp, Disney World, Hawaii, and Paris.
What is up with this! I totally lost the battle. Did my mother want me to do this, or was Grandmother the cause. Either way I have to go because both my parents are behind this. It’s like me running for president, and them voting for the other person. They have the right to vote for the other person, but they are supposed to vote for me, I am there child. I don’t know how I’m suppose to tell my best buds, they will have to have a complete stranger live in there cabin, now that I won’t be around. It’s like the sudden crash and burn. You’re at the finish line of the race, I mean you are like two inches away and your race car decides to catch fire and explode into a million pieces. I will just pretend it’s a dream. I will be off to Girly-Girl camp on June 7th, I will, I will.
