Rough Draft #1

I steped outside of the packed car and took a breath of hot air. I could tell we had arrived in Arizona.
The front yard grass felt cool on my hot bare feet. We were at my uncles house and we had parked in their drive. I felt exited being at a place I have never been to.
My whole family trotted to the door but before we could take five steps my uncle and my other realtives greeted us first. I felt really happy being able to see them again and I found that they were too. We walked into their house and as kids the first thing we did was scope out the backyard. As I opened the door to the backyard I felt another wall of heat hit me. But it didn't bother me this time. My eyes had already focused on the big refreshing pool. My brother, sister and I all looked at each other and without saying anything ran to the car to get our bathing suits.

We recklessly put them on in their bathroom and immediately sprinted to the bowl of happiness. Without thinking all three of u sprung into the pool doing cannon balls. A sudden rush of water touched my skin as I hit the surface. It felt like I had just jumped out of a boiling pot of soup into a cup of iced coffee.

We had been enjoying ourselves for only ten minutes when I decided to do a front flip into the pool. With a brick side its probably not so smart. As I flipped through the air I thought to myself did I jump high enough? As I came down I hit my head on the side of the pool. I felt a little bump but to tell you the truth I didn't really feel it. I bet its just a little bump that will go away eventually, I thought to myself. But I found out that I was wrong. I swam to get a noodle to have a war that I was about to challenge my brother in when he says "Uh, Morgan your head is bleeding."

I didn't believe it was true at first but I knew it was. I sprung out of the pool and told my mom the bad news. She didn't believe me at first so we had to rush to the hospital. I got three staples in the middle of my scalp. It felt like needles were piercing through my brain. They really hurt.

It was pretty boring for the rest of the trip because I wasn't allowed to swim. But it was pretty cool because I got a lot of attention at school. But there is a saying that "chicks dig scars."
