The Magic Camera By Troy Weston

One cool morning in Acadia National Park me, my brother, Trav, my step-brother, Adam, my mom and my step-dad were walking down a steep narrow path. We saw a tree and my mom said, "that would be a perfect picture!" and said to me and my brother, "Troy and Trav, get in the tree." I said, Mom cÕmon. My brother said sarcastically, Mom havenÕt you taken enough pictures today? Mom, said "no, now get into the tree, someday you can show your kids these pictures". Then me and my brother got in the tree and Trav, my oldest brother said, "hey Troy act like you are going to fall", "then I said okay". We took a picture of me and my brother about to fall and a picture with just me and him standing side by side in the tree. Then after my mom was done with her pictures we started to hike again. We walked and walked up the steep narrow path, higher and higher until we reached the top. Me and my brother kept jumping off small ledges in the rocks at the top of the mountain, each time trying to scare my mom. After we walked around, took a break and looked at the scenery and, of course took a few pictures with my Mom! When we were on our way back down the mountain we were on the steep narrow trail again. It was hard getting up, but going down was actually harder! We kept slipping on the gravel. On the way down, me and my brother kept throwing rocks at the squirrels that were on the trail. My mom got scared and said, "you guys better be careful because the squirrel might attack you". Me and my brother ignored her. All of us, except my brother fell a few times! Finally we got to the car and we all got a big drink of water! Then we went back to our hotel. Later that night we ate at a steakhouse. After we went to play miniature golf at Blackbeard's. Me and my brother got a putter, and balls. My brother was showing me knots that he learned at the Navy, when my parents and step-brother came up behind us and said, "okay, letÕs go." After we were done, me and my brother ended up in a playful fight and started wrestling right in the middle of the parking lot. I ended up laying in the bushes. Then we went back to the hotel and went to bed. .
