Marine city in 10 years

Everything looks the same, only the people have changed.
The sun still glitters off the river and
all the same buildings stand as they did ten years before.
Only the faces walking by are different.
The kids walking down the sidewalk
were not even in elementary school back in the day.
The river is the same brown color
and dairy queen still smells and tastes the same.
Although they may be different people
all the school kids have the same interests
and do the same things as our generation did.

My real name is Dan
Yesterday, my name was tiring work
Today, my name is unanswered hope
Tomorrow, my name will be long awaited relaxation
Secretly, I know my name is unfulfilled destiny
My name once was childish play

My real name is Dan
Yesterday, my name was boring routine
Tomorrow, my name will be bold excitement
In my dream, my name was triumph
My brother thinks my name is endless youth

Image #4- my thoughts

the lone tree is out in a field. like my grandparents field. there is one tree alone in their field, i believe it is oak. my grandparents own 90 acres on wadhams road, my grandpa bought it cheap in the fifties. they have good hunting land. my brother saw a monster buck one year, and someone else shot it the next. my grandparents are loving people. they have alot of longevity as well. my grandpa is 87 years old and my grandma is 79. they are both in very good health. my grandpa recently cracked his wrist. they plan on living there for the rest of their lives. my grandpa built the house himself, he was a carpenter, and a very good one. he helped us shingle our roof when he was 80 years old. he is a tough old man

Image #1- my thoughts

It is the 1800s the only way to get around fast is by train. Everything is like in a movie. everything is black and white. it is kind of like the movie back to the future part three and the train scene. they needed to get the train up to 88 miles an hour in order to push the delorean to the year 1985. most good movie series have a train scene somewhere. spiderman II has a train scene, as well as others. trains were a very good way to travel back in the 1800s the iron horse was the best way to move around. people could move across the country in a matter of days rather than months. the west became more popular because of trains and the ease of travel.

Little Brevort

7. There will always be a place in my heart for a place called Little Brevort. It is where my family camped for many years when I was a child. I visited there over the summer and it is just as awesome as ever. I love fishing in the lake and waking up to the sound of my brother cooking pancakes on the coleman stove. The nature trail is a lot of fun, covering wooded areas, marshes, and sand dunes. Everything is green, all the trees sway in the breeze and the sound of the water gently hitting the shore is something to die for. There are bike trails and lots of fun things to do. We would go down to lake Michigan and swim out as far as we could, and then swim back. The water was cold, but it was fun anyway. We would often visit places like Tahquamenon falls and pictured rocks. Swimming in lake superior was great, walking out a mile before it was too deep to walk

Yellowstone

2. I remember going with my aunt and uncle and three cousins to Yellowstone. First we went to Mount Rushmore for three days, which was a lot of fun. There was a drivethrough jerky store right next to our hotel. It was a long drive to Yellowstone, but it was well worth it. We saw lots of wildlife, including black bear, moose, pronghorn antelope and elk. We saw a couple of geysers including old faithful and steamboat geyser. We saw a mud volcano and many hot springs. We went over a mountain pass into Idaho with ten percent grade. We stopped at the top to look at the town below. Entering the car, my uncle, who was driving, did notice the two inch horsefly on his leg. Once we started down the pass, he noticed it and started freaking out. We got it out of the car, luckily we didn’t fall off the mountain pass.
