It was another beautiful morning on our 1 week family reunion in Tennessee. All of my family jumped into our cars, and started to drive to Gatlinburg. We all knew where we were going, but not what we where doing. “This is going to be awesome!” I told myself.

 

When we arrived we paid to park, then walked to the town. We walked around to go to one of the many, many shops there and buy some things, and after that we started to eat. While we were eating my cousin, Amelia asked “Mom, can we ride the sky-lift?”

 

My family got to the sky-lift before my brother Zach, my cousin Jimmy, my mom and I got there. The people who worked there helped us get on and we rode. At first I was a little scared because I thought the sky-lift would break. I soon calmed down, and started to talk to my mom, who was sitting by me in this orange,floating chair. We continued to chat, until my brother did something the workers said NOT to do. “I’m going to shake the chair!” my brother joked. “Zachary NO!” Jimmy exclaimed who was sitting right beside him. My mom and I laughed while they joked around, then started to look at the amazing view.

 

We arrived at the peak of the sky-lift and saw the rest of our family waiting for us. When we got off the sky-lift, I saw a telescope that costed 25 cents to use. My aunt gave me a quarter and I looked through the telescope. After Colin and Amelia (two of my cousins) looked through, we rode the sky-lift again.

 

After we rode I couldn’t help but feel a little depressed because none of my family lives near me, and our family reunion was almost over. Then we jumped back into our cars, and started to drive back to the resort. “That was so awesome!” I told myself. Your family is the most important thing in your life, but they won’t be around forever, so use your time wisely.
