  3. An adventure I had was when I was little and went to Canada. We were there to go to a festival full of lights. I went to a park and got lost I the woods with my aunt. We looked for the way out but all the signs were in French so we couldn’t read them. So we kept taking wrong turns. Eventually it got dark and I was scared. All you heard were the sounds of crickets everywhere. Soon we saw a light in the distance. When we got closer to the light we saw it was a ranger cabin. When we got inside the ranger didn’t know any English so we were trying to explain to him that we needed a way back to the front of the park. We tried to do charades, draw pictures and sing language but nothing worked. Soon he just got tired of us and went into the other room. While he was gone we searched the cabin for a phone. We searched everywhere for a phone but when we found one it was broken. So we looked for another. We found one in the other room where the ranger was. When we called the main station no one could speak English there either. So they were looking for someone to translate. It took them thirty minutes to find someone who could speak English. When they did we told them we got lost and where we were. When the other rangers finally showed up they had a flat tire. So we had to walk the rest of the way back. Finally we got back to the front of the park we were just in time for the festival. There were a lot of lights and bright colors. You could smell food everywhere you turned.

  5. An adventure i had was when i was a little younger than what i am now. i think i was about 12. Me and my friends from my old neighborhood used to walk around the woods in the back of our old complex. I remember this one day we were walking around and we found this ring laying on the ground. It was very expensive and we didn't know what to do with it, so we took it back to our little fort that we had made to hide or whatever and examed it. It got kinda dark and we were arguing on who was going to be the one who got to take it home with them. I won of course being one of the only girls. So that night passed and by 10' in the morning everyone was waiting on me at the fort to see the ring again. After looking at it for a while we went back out to the woods a began to look for what we thought "more treasure". Unfortunatly we found nothing but we still had the ring as our forts special prize. That is the best adventure that i've had in my life so far.

  7. An adventure in my life happened when I was seven years old. My mother and my three sisters all moved to Toledo, Ohio . My mother was originally from ohio and we had family lots of family members who stayed down there. So one day I went to my aunt trina's house which is my mothers older sister. My auntie had 5 kids who stayed with her so everytime I came over we would have fun. But I would have the most fun with my cousin dominique. She is one of my favorite cousins , we talked about any and everything. Thats is why everytime i came over it would always be us too linked together. So my auntie stayed in this little apartment complex down the street from this weird old house. So we would always go outside and ride our bikes and play outside like regular little kids. One day all of us were outside playing in the back of the apartments catching lizards and frogs and little cups like we were animal catchers. So it got late and my cousin began to tell scary stories about the apartments and the old house.I didnt believe them so I wanted to go check it out for myself so we all went to the old house . When we approached the house we looked at it and all the old vines that had grown on the porch over the years it had been abandoned. The story was that a women died in that house a long time ago and her spirit still haunts the property. But i need to see to believe not just assume that it is true. So we walked up the porch and looked through the window. all you could see was a chair in a room . So i opened the door and we all walked in . We went no further then the living rom because we were so scared . Then we seen a rat run across the floor and we ran out the house screaming. For that little time we were in there I still didnt see a ghost so I wasnt worried about it. But that was an adventure in itself just because we took the risk of going into that house

  8. Well I'm going to start off by saying that I love adventures.
    The best adventure that I've had, well at least from what I can remember. Well It was Me, my dad, my Uncle, and his son, and my uncles friend. Well we were having or adventure in the woods of Alabama, I cant remember where we was actually at. Anyway so we all got up early to pack up the car and was head towards are two day adventure. It was a long ride there, but we finally got there. As we all got out of are cars, we ventured around to get use to the spot and to where we was going to be camping out for the night. So as my dad and my uncle where setting up the tent, he told me and my cousin to go out on the four wheeler and collect some wood. We were having a bomb fire tonight, so me and my cousin hopped on the four wheeler and went threw the trail and gathered wood. On our way back to the camp the four wheeler chain popped off, so we put it back on no problem. Then like a couple of drives ahead it popped off again, this time we couldn't put it back on because it actually broke this time. So we were like man what in the world and we started pushing the four wheeler and the wood back to the site. On our way back my dad and my uncle were rite dead in front of us, they knew something happened because we were out to long and they was worried. So they strapped the four wheeler back to the car and pulled it back to the site. Later on that night we had hot dogs and marsh mellows. That night it was cold as ever i couldn't sleep for nothing me and my uncle was having trouble sleeping and had a terrible night. That morning we all went out hunting for hogs and stuff, we finally found a hog it was very hard to catch it. We were running threw deep waters and and mud and stuff, but we finally caught up with it and caught it. It was still cold and me and my uncle where all like we need to get back home because we where not ready for this adventure and we was getting weak. Also they wanted to go deeper in the woods and we just was not up to the challenge. So we headed back to that camp site to pack up and leave. We all got home safe and had fun a little bit, all in all we all had fun. Next time we have a adventure like that again we are going to be ready.

  9. Over the summer I had a great adventure. An adventure that I had was when I was young around the ages of 10 and 11, me and my family went to florida. We were there for a trip to disney world. We were amazed because we all got the chance to meet some of our favorite disney characters. My little sister was so excited when she met mickey mouse she almost fainted. Good thing I was there to break her fall. We all took a walk around the park and was so amazed. Soon we all split up and of course I was the one who got lost. I wanted to know every thing there was to know about the park. So I wasnt so surprised, but soon enough I began to cry. I was nervous and confused because I wasnt so sure what side of the park my family was located on. I kept crying and searching and soon I ranned into my oldest sister who was eating cotton candy. We both fell and it was a little embarassing. My sister was mad but she got over it when she noticed that I had tears dripping from my face. Her mood and attitude changed. We went looking for the others. My mom took us on a search for a hotel. The prices were extremely high. We found the perfect hotel, that met all of our needs and qualities. We neede time to get settled so my mom said that we'd have the chance to get a better perspective of the park the next day. That next day we got on rides and were able to meet more disney characters. There came a time when we left the park and went to a famous restaurant to havw dinner. The food was no different from our food here,but the food was delicous. Soon the trip came to an end and we returned home. Everyone was so happy and fulfilled. That summer was one of the best ones that i'v ever had. I would never forget that summer.

  12. Once upon a time when I was a little girl, I had one great adventure. I was a four year old who had the brains of a genius. My family was taking a vacation to Orlando, Florida in the summer of 2001. We were heading to Walt Disney Land. At first I was scared to go. I was remembering all of the characters that I had seen on Disney Channel. I thought that they were fun to look at on TV, but maybe they weren’t so great in person. Since my family and I were driving there, we had to six in the car for hours and hours. As a little girl I didn’t like or want to sit in one spot all day! Later on that day, we had finally reached Orlando, Florida. As we were walking in the park, I had noticed a face painting booth. I ended up getting a Mickey Mouse face painting. Coming around the corner we went to play laser tag! I loved to play laser tag. Afterwards I saw some characters from Disney Channel. I was afraid to say “Hi” or to even stare at them for a long time. My mom and dad made me overcome my fears and made me take a picture with the Mickey Mouse. It wasn’t so bad after all. I was afraid of really nothing! I was crying for a second. Suddenly, I decided to cheer up and enjoy my day at the park. My family and I met even more characters and played tons of games. I had won a lot of games and toys. When the day was over, I was happy after all. I told my mother that I wanted to visit Walt Disney Park again. I noticed that when I got home that I had left some of my new toys at the park. After all I had a wonderful time!

When she got there she took us out to eat when we where eating that same man that got us back with my cousin he was there. He said that he was really sacred. She told him that she was really great full for him so she told him to sit down and have dinner . the next day we invented him to Disney .

  16. The word Adventure to me is just a short cut for explore. I’ve been to few places and they were all plain and simple. But I still have an imagination of a 10 year old boy. Cause I still I have a child in me. And my cousin Michael is always there by my side in all my adventures, travels ,discovery’s ,journeys ,explores , nature walks or whatever you want to name it.
    But I honestly the best adventure I ever had. Is when I played as a price who inherited 14 kingdoms from his father the great king Erin lay-vest al-cep-acobro, who was a very loving human being like no other? He also found an old well with magical water and then... they were exposed to magic, everyone in this village that lies with in this Kingdome, was invited to the ivy potatoes garden that belonged to the king and was a part of his castle. I played as the king son and my cousin played as my brother. Who was to inherit all of the 14 kingdoms because my father has one child, which by the way means that he didn’t know I was his son. Even though I was side by side with him for all my life, when I was a young boy, My father went to war in the trinity Dust Mountains. He was gone for a month and then returned with only one leg and an arm. My brother and I were crushed of course. But I never had a chance to communicate with him nor my father ever since I was born. The servants has told a lie and spread rumors that I died during birth, and my mother has vanished after my birth. Which my father never had a chance to see, I was never able to call my dad father. They told me to call him lord. So I did, no questions asked. During this adventure we went to the huge field with millions of huge rocks, It began to rain really hard. During this time, my imaginary adventure became real.
    Me and my cousin started to fight with sticks and throwing rocks and kicking dirt while at the same time slashing mucky mud every were on the field and ourselves. We had to leave because the weather was getting really windy and a huge rain and lightning storm was passing by.
    That’s my wild adventure that I will never forget.

  17. An adventure that had was about a year ago. I wanted to go to my aunt's house for my cousins party two days later. My mom was sick, so i asked her "should stay home and take care of you". She said "no go ahead and go". We watched the news for a couple of minutes to see the traffic on the freeway before we had left; the news castor said " that traffic was pretty backed up. My mom did'nt have any choose but to take the street way to my aunt's house.We are just a few minutes on the road going through every single traffic light. We are almost there when my thinks she should go right when we should go left on the road. So thirty minutes goes fast on this dark pitch black road when come to a old wooden shed bridge. What was scary about it was my mom and I both seen bats at the top of the shed bridge. We had no choose but to go across the bumpy old rusty bridge. At the end of the bridge was a lot of people, my mom stopped and asked for directions. Come to find out we where in Kennesaw,Ga we were just about to go the mountain. We where supposed to be going to Powder Springs,Ga. So we finally found our way back to where we supposed to be. That's is my adventure.

  18. On a pitch black night , i was walking down the street . while i was walking down the street i saw a bright light shining . So , i followed the light . and when i got there i was blinded . It was the brightest glow bug i had ever saw . In a blink the glow bug was gone . I looked around and saw it flying all the way down the street . So , i followed it , and while i followed it i ran into mean dogs , stray cats , and almost got hit by a huge 18 - wheeler truck . But the glow bug was so amazing and fascinating , i couldnt stop following it . Then it turnt down the street of Campbelton Road , I saw billions of the brightest glow bugs you will ever see . As soon as I got home i was super tired . Then i thought to myself , " it was worth it."
