George heard the door slam shut as Mr. Maloys, Fred, Natalie, and Tyler walked out of the door of 13 Formi road. It was a great day for biking but unfortunately they were camping instead of biking. They were camping in small area away in the forest of the Maloys backyard. George headed out of the back sliding glass door after them. Just then his sleeping bag falls ¨butter fingers¨ Natalie yells back to George and George goes red. After long 30 minutes of hiking they reach a good spot for camping.

Tyler starts for a pile of sticks and he picks 2 thick ones and starts rubbing them together. Natalie found a pile of really thick logs, she rolled the logs until 2 were vertical and 1 was horizontal. That night the 5 of them sat there watching the horizon from 6:45 to 7:00. George felt a blast hot air hit his whole body he whirled around to look at what made him so warm ¨yes!¨Tyler yelled with excitement. George saw the hot glimmering red and orange fire. George went to his bag to set up his tent and sleeping bag for the warm night in Florida. George brought a notebook to write down stuff like he always did on vacation. Fred knew the most about camping but he was always watching television.

George was set up before long. It had just broke out into a cold drizzle when George was in his tent for a few minutes. George had already wrote it is a warm day here in florida and it has just started to rain and the fire is unfortunately out. George went to bed without reading. Before long, everybody expect Natalie was sawing wood (snoring) and sleeping like a starfish. All of a sudden, George was no longer sawing wood he was letting out high pitched squeals of horror. ¨NO,¨ Natalie heard George yell. It was so loud it sounded like a smoke detector. George had nightmare where a ghost grabbed his shoe lace and he fell in wet

concrete and he got up and he had made a face print in the wet concrete he was in a graveyard.

Then his nightmare went away and Natalie fell asleep and it got quiet in all 5 tents and it stayed quiet until 6:45 in the morning Gorge woke up from the clatter of some pans and the pots. George came out of his own small tent and scrambled to his dad's tent to see if anything was ready to eat. When George got in his dad's tent ¨What are you doing up and about this early in the morning?¨ His dad yawned to George. ¨I´m hungry, I want breakfast,¨ George replied ¨I am making French Toast for all of us,¨ Mr. Maloys said sounding tired unlike George who sounded energetic. George went to his dad's bed and sat on it to let time to go by after awhile it stopped drizzling. Natalie walked into the closed in tent and zipped the tent behind her and joined George on the bed. Fred came in not so long after Natalie. ¨breakfast is ready we are having French Toast this morning children. Wait where is Tyler? somebody go tell Tyler we are having French toast, ¨ Mr. Maloys said. George walked out of the tent.

He set off for Tyler's tent what seemed to be ten minutes to get to Tyler's tent when he got there he could see the dark figure of Tyler in the tent light. ¨Tyler ,¨George yelled at the top of his lungs. ¨ Who's there. George is that you?¨ Tyler yeled. ¨Tyler, come on,¨ George said with boring attitude. Tyler opened the door and popped his head out of the tent. Tyler came out of his tent after he stuck his out of his tent and then, they walked for what seemed to be another ten minutes which really made George think it was ten minutes Tyler was so tired he almost tripped over one of the thick logs and face planted in the cold mud.

When the two got to the tent they unzipped the flap and scrambled in the tent. ¨ George, I did not know that you had such a loud voice,¨ Natalie laughed. George blushed after Natalie said it. All of a sudden precipitation started pounding on the roof of the tent it became hard to tell what each other saying because of the pouring rain. George headed back to his tent after he finished his breakfast he crawled back into his tiny tent. George headed for his bed and plopped down on his bed and retrieved his note book and started to write once again the rain stopped for the night and started again, we did not try to start up a fire because that would not be such a smart idea because the fire. All of a sudden water started pouring into the tent ¨STOP, its not funney EXCUSE ME PARTNER zip my tent back up,¨ George said out loud then he got up and walked around so he had to suck it up to get around the water.

He saw that nobody was doing it, it was just a hole in the top of the tent ¨DAD,¨George
Yeled to his dad on the other side of where the fire was. He sprinted to his dads tent for duct tape when he there he stopped so hard he nearly fell into the tent in front of him. He unzipped the tent as fast as his tiny arms would move. He nearly ran into Natalie as she came out of the tent, after Natalie cleared the entrance he darted in the tent he grabbed the duct tape.

He went back to his tent for what seemed like forever he got back to his tent and patched up the hole. Lets hope that will never happen he thought to himself.
