I remember going to Mississippi to visit my grandfather and his family, my mom, brother, sisters, cousin and her mom went, her name is Amanda page. My baseball team singed a baseball for me because they knew I was going. It took two days to get there by bus the time we got there it was seven-o'clock p.m, we did a lot of things there like a family reunion and cook outs and kids playing outside with water sides, playing basketball, the parents usually listen to music and drink their soda's.

We finally made it to are grandfather's house and we meet his sister and brother. The next day there was really nothing to do there but watch television. Then I found out that he had a four-wheeler so I thought that was cool.

It was the last week we were staying there, and we were starting to pack up, and we met this girl named Makayla, and she was crying. I thought she had got hurt, but she was crying because her dog died.

''I'll miss you Amanda, but why are you staying.'' I screamed.

''Because pop-pop is going to buy me a car.'' she laughed.

Amanda also told me she'll be back soon or in a year, I thought she was coming, but she did not come with us, I was so mad at myself, because I told her not to stay.

We finally got home after two days of driving and I had one more game to play, I pitched that ball so fast the hitter didn't even see it, then the umpire had called it out, so I was up to hit for the
