This is Kara and today she is very eager to go camping .  She is very eager  because this is going to be the family reunion  of a life time.  



All her cousins, uncles, aunts and even her grandmother came to the family reunion.  Everyone had to meet at Kara’s house first, and then they left.  There were about thirty family members.  It was a really big group and Kara was afraid  that there was not a big enough place to fit them all.


Uncle Lin, Kara’s uncle, found a big enough place for her family to stay.  Everyone got out of the cars and unpacked.  Everyone helped set up the tents.  



After the tents were done, Kara’s aunts wanted to go hiking and her uncle’s were going fishing.  Kara did not know who to go with because she wanted to do both.  She was distressed  because she does not know what to do.  




Kara thought long and hard of what to do first.  She thought to herself that she can always go fishing with her uncles and hiking with her aunts is once in a while.  So Kara came to a resolute , to go hiking with her aunts.  



Kara started to prepare  for her hiking trip.  She got her bag pack and packed a lot of water bottle and some trial mix.  Finally it was time to hike.  Kara and her aunts went on a trial that was three miles.  It took them a very long time to get up the mountain but it was worth it because Kara got to see a stunning  view.


Kara saw a beautiful view.  She saw other mountains and lakes and a lot of trees.  It was the most beautiful thing she saw in her life.  Kara did not want to go back down but it was time to go back to the camp site and this time it was quicker  to go down.  



Back at camp, Kara’s uncles returned.  They captured  only three fishes.  Kara started to laugh because it was amusing .  While Kara’s aunts started to prepare for dinner, Kara and her cousins played a game.



The sun was setting and it was time for dinner.  The food was so good that Kara ate until she could not eat anymore.  When dinner was finished everyone sat around the camp fire and sang some songs.  Kara was so tired she could not keep her eyes opened.  Her mom carried her to her tent and she fell asleep.  This was the best day she had with her family.
