Skate boarding

Last year I was skateboarding with my cousin and we decided to try and go down a hill. We have been down this hill before so it wasn't like it was new but that's where we messed up. For some reason, we decided to go down it on the sidewalk. This wasn't a good idea because the sidewalk had curves so it was almost impossible to fully go down it without stopping. So my cousin decides to go first with me behind him and when we start going down we are doing good. As soon as the first curve comes in that's where it all goes wrong. I see the curve coming up so I try stopping but I'm going too quickly and eventually, I pass my cousin because I was going so quickly. I thought I was going to make the curve but the sidewalk was uneven causing my skateboard to go flying then that caused me to go flying. That wasn't the worst part yet the place we were going down had a lot of trees so I flew off the board my cousin said I did a front flip hit the tree and then landed a couple of meters away from my board with AirPods on the ground. After all that I decide to get up but I notice my leg. My leg was all messed up and I didn't want to call my parents so I decided to try and go home but I fell four more times because of how hard it was. Eventually, I got home with a messed up leg and bleeding near my eye. They took me to the hospital and they told me I needed to wear a cast but my eye made me look like I got beat up. Sadly my cousin had to go home after this incident.

Baking cookies with my cousin

Me and my cousin decided to make some cookies because we were home alone. At first, it was going okay but then we accidentally pressed a button we didn't think of anything because all we heard was a beep. Turns out the beep meant a lot. Five minutes later the oven started making a noise and we go check on it turns out I pressed a button that had turned on a self-cleaning mode for the oven. I didn't know that existed but the cookies were in there while it was cleaning. But it started making more noise and then eventually caught fire which scared us because all we were trying to do was make cookies but we ended up starting a fire. My cousin called 911 and I called my parents. By the time my family got home the fire department had already put it out. My mom and dad get mad but they are happy that it was just the oven and not the whole house. Now when we bake cookies we make sure not to click any random buttons.

Bike

One time, I was with my cousin and my friend. We were bored, so we all decided to go out. My friend had an electric bike that was big enough for two, so I got on with him, but we were thinking how my cousin would keep up. So we had a bad idea of getting a rope and tying a rope around a skateboard. At first, it was going well but then my friend started speeding up I kept telling him to slow down but he didn't listen. I check back to ask my cousin if he is okay and he says yes. After about 5 minutes, there Was a speed bump and my friend decided to speed up again, but once we hit that speed bump, my cousin flew off the skateboard. He lands pretty far so we go check up on him and the skin on his arms and leg are all messed up because he got road burn. I decided to walk because how else were we going to get back? After we got home my parents were mad and took him to the hospital. It wasn't the best day but my cousin said it was worth it.

Party

This moment is about me my cousin and our friends in a bounce house. It was my cousin's birthday and he was turning 16 but the bounce house was for the little kids. They weren't using it so we decided to. it wasn't bad until all 8 of us got in. Then we decided to just ram into each other I don't know why but it was fun. One of my friends manages to get on the roof but he falls and lands on his leg and it messes up. So as we are all ramming into each other my friend is on the ground. Then for some reason, we all decided to hit one side to see what would happen. It wasn't a good idea because we didn't notice our friend was on the ground and we hit the side he was on. We hit it too hard and flipped it on my friend and he was under it and we landed on him. It wasn't to bad but not to good because he had to leave but other then that it was okay.

Lake Tahoe

This one isn't anything crazy. My family decided it would be nice if we went to Lake Tahoe in the summer. I was excited because it was our first time. The picture is what it looks like during summer and spring. Since we were going during summer the weather was nice and cool and wasn't too bad to get in the lake. We got to do a lot of stuff like snowboarding hiking everything. When I tried snowboarding I fell a lot but it was fun and I would like to try again. It was nice for the hiking part because the views were super nice and it wasn't hard to go up. The town of Lake Tahoe was super cool because it was all decorated. I found a bunch of cool little stuff that I bought. Overall it was a good time and I would like to go again.
