My experience was I went to the humane society and walked four dogs. First I walked a dog named Buddy, he was a big ball of energy. Next I walked a pug mix named Buster, he was fun. Third I walked a mutt named Dooby, he was cute and funny. Fourth I walked Sassy, she was like Buddy. It was a fun day.
In softball we were at Superior for state we had to play Wausau we lost the first game and won the second game. We are off to regionals in Portage, Indiana! It took us 5 hours to drive to Indiana our first game was against Western Kentucky. I played pitcher and third base. Unforunately we lost. Our next game was against Mount Washington. This was a close game and lost in the last inning. I played the same positions. It was worth the trip.

My experience happened while my family was building a shed in our back yard.I was playing with a friend in our back yard. We were running and playing tag. I tried to dive under some lumber but I didn't get my head down in time. I cut my head open and it started to bleed. I went to the emergencey room where they stitched me up.
My experience was making marshmallows on a grill. First I decided what marshmallow to use. Then I put it on a knife. It took longer then roasting one over a fire,but they tasted just as good!
Onec I was at school and it was the first recess. And I went drown the slide. Well it was wet! So I was wet alot. I had to change my paints. I was geting mad. I had to go all over the place. To get some paints. None of them fet me. So I wore my gym paints. I was really embarrassed. And the worse part was I missed most of class time.
@ksk Was watching kids fun?
I was playing tag andI went up to the slide. When I was at the top I slipped and I hit my back right on the edge of the slide. So I had to go home.

arj@ WHAT slide did you go down on that got your pants wet?
In my experience I was going to a gymnastics competion. I was excited and thought I was going to do very well. When I started warming up, I was pretty nervous. I didn't feel as confident as I did before. When it came to my turn to compete, I was scared and didn't know how I was going to do. While I was competing, I knew I wasn't doing well. Finally, my routine was over. When my score came up, I knew it was the worst I had ever done. The day didn't turn out how I thought it would.
@gkm,
Where did you roast the marshmallows, and were there other people with you?
My experience was when my brother and I were walking along deer trails with my dad. Each of us found our own deer trail to follow and we started looking for shed deer horns. On my trail I didn't find any deer horns or rubs on the trees. All of us met up by a pond. I threw a tennis ball in the water for my dogs Aspen and Teddy so they would swim. Then the tennis ball got stuck on a patch of ice. Teddy swam in and tried to fetch the ball but the ice prevented him from reaching it. We broke some of the ice with rocks and a big stick. Eventually we got the ice close enough with the stick and knocked the tennis ball off. Teddy was then able to fetch the floating ball from the pond.
In August 2007 I went to Nationals with my friends Jaimie and Taylor. That year nationals was in Colorado. There I went to the Royal Gorge, The Olympic Training Center, the World Arena, and White Water rafting. In Nationals I took 1st, 2nd, and 2nd. I had a great time in Colorado and this year I made Nationals again.
my experience was when I played the wii with my brother in the morning and he kept beating me for some reason. Then in the afternoon we got a couple of or family members to start playing the wii luckly I beat everyone in the wii. So bragged about it at night like my brother did and it annoned him.
@jah did your sister get presents for her first communion.
My experience was going to Nashville
Tennessee! We went for my aunts wedding. We took a plane to get down
there.We had the wedding rehearsal on Friday. Then on Saturday we had the wedding. My cousins and I got to
read the responsorial psalms. We went to the reception and ate, danced, and had a lot of fun! The next day we flew back home. My family had a great time!
When I was eleven years old, I went to a Brewer's game against the Cincinnati Reds in Milwaukee. My Dad, his friend, and I were sitting behind homeplate. Brewer player Prince Fielder hit a foul ball and I caught it!!! Then Fielder's next hit was a homerun and the Brewer mascot slid down the slide. This game was my fourth time at a Brewer's game and it was awesome!!
One day I was playing outside with my sister and hamster. All of a sudden my hamster started to run away and my sister ran after him. While she was running after him she accidentally stepped on him. I told my mom, he wasn't moving. When my mom came out I was crying and he was dead. It was a really terrible day.

I traveled to Siesta Key Florida for spring break. While on the
beach I found some brittle star fish. They washed up on shore following a storm the week before. I brought them home and display them in sand from the beach
they were found on.
Once when I was five years old we took a trip to Disney World in Florida. This was my first trip there and I couldn't believe how big and wonderful everything was. We spent four days going from one thing to the next. I had a an autograph book for character signatures and it was so fun to meet each one, Pluto was my favorite. I have great memories.
@JAH
I remember when I went to my cousin's first communion. We did almost the same thing except we went to Bull's Eye country club.
