FAMILY MEMORIES
When I was a
child, all my extended family used to travel in December on vacation to any
beach.
We would travel
in several cars. These trips were pretty long and one person always had to
drive for long hours. However, all of us enjoyed it.
After the trip,
we arrived to a beautiful big house with many bedrooms and an enormous garden
to play and make different activities in family.
During the time
we were there, we spent a lot of time together snorkeling, swimming in the sea,
taking the sun, playing different games or only talking in family.
My cousins and I
loved to go out and walk on the sand and play together with a ball. One of the
things that we enjoyed was making sand castles and then choosing the best
castle with the help of each family member. The winner could eat one biggest
piece of a delicious cake, freshly baked by our grandma. It was a great reward.
At nights after
dinner, my grandparents, uncles and aunts used to sit close to the beach around
the fire to talk by many hours. Meanwhile, all of us would ran and played
happily chasing crabs of different colors and writing our names on the sand.
Also, my
grandparents used to buy a lot of toys to give to each cousin; and many gifts
for each adult. These presents used to be delivered at Christmas midnight. This
day, all the family gathered around the living room to open all gifts and spend
all night together. The rest our vacation, my cousins and I only played with
the new gifts.
When December finished
and each family member returned to their house, everything was back to reality
and it was very boring. All of us used to wait for the following year to be
together again, and enjoy the best vacations of the world.
