My family doesn't have a pool, but I love to play in the water. My friends and I found a great place to swim.

We drove across the country during my summer vacation. It was a normal trip until we stopped at a gas station and a stranger walked up to our car.

My family went for a hike in the woods. Everything was fine until my dad stepped on a poisonous snake.

I was so bored one day in the middle of summer I did something crazy.
