Lauren's+Snapshot+Memory

I was 10 years old when I first noticed that if I didn't have a sister to race down and jump off the dock at Lake Bloomington at our friend's house, I would never have that much excitement in me. My mom, sister, and I went to our friend's house on Lake Bloomington, Illinois with such joy.

When I jumped out of the car I realized that the sky was covered with clouds. My face turned red while sadly slugging into their humongous, new house. When we toured their house it had so many flowers and bright, colorful, exciting paints all over, but I had none of that in me anymore. When I dragged into the master suite I glanced through the tall, clear glass windows out onto the lake and I saw that the sun was coming out!

Alex and I raced down the stairs as fast as we possibly could, out the doors, with our swimsuits on, down the dock, and into the cool lake. We were messing around and having a blast!!

That really made me realize how much I really appreciate my sister and all the fun that we have together everywhere we go. I hope she knows that I really enjoy being with her, even know that we wil bicker back in forth sometimes!
