Memoir 2

        This past summer I went to Bayfield, Wisconsin. I went with my family. The Bayfield, WI area is known for its orchids, shopping, and sightseeing. The area is mostly well known for the Apostle Islands which are very close as well.

         One of the highlights on our trip was the Island Princess Cruise. The cruise was one big, red boat that takes you on a 55 mile tour around the Apostle Islands for about three hours. In all there is twenty-two islands. The islands are located on Lake Superior. Once my family boarded onto the cruise, we sat down in our red, leather seats and got our charged cameras ready to take pictures. Soon after, we sailed off on our way to the islands. I got bored quickly so I got some concessions on the boat. Once we got to the islands, they were so cool with the alluring shorelines! Each island had something unique about them.

         I thought the most interesting island was Devils Island. It had extensive sea caves. The rock on the edges of the majestic caves were beautiful with different colors of rock and unique textures on each one. In the caves there was clear, radiant, blue water. The water sparkled with every angle of light from the glistening sun. There was also a historic lighthouse on the island. The lighthouse was white and filled with eager people to see the view from inside.

        I took so many breathtaking pictures I can’t even count! It was inspiring and scenic! The beauty of the islands was extraordinary! My trip to Bayfield, Wisconsin was also very adventurous! I wouldn’t mind going back there someday and making more memories. I had a very good time exploring the Apostle Islands with my family.

Memoir 1

             On March 5, 1999 it was a beautiful spring day. I got up like every other day in the week and went to daycare by the St. Cloud Hospital. I didn’t realize at the beginning of the day that something big was going to happen.
           

            I knew that a sibling was on the way but I didn’t exactly know when the baby was going to be born. I was really excited and couldn’t wait! My day at daycare went well. Towards the end of the day I figured out that my sister, Hayley, was born! I really wanted to see her but it was too late at night for me and my parents said I would be able to see her tomorrow.
          

           Once I got to the hospital the next morning I was so eager to see her! I got into the hospital room and couldn’t believe my eyes that I actually had a baby sister. I was kind of confused that she was my sister and she was going to be coming home with me to the same house. I was really happy that I was her big sister and I took pride in that. I learned that her name was Hayley, but I couldn’t actually pronounce it right so I called her “Hay”.
        

          I started to get hungry so we went to go get some food in the cafeteria. I loved the food that they had in the hospital. Once we were done I went up to the room and went to see my little sister again. I showed “Hay” off to all of my family who came to see her. The next day at daycare I told all of my buddies that I had a new “baby sister”. My parents said I couldn’t stop talking about her for a long time.
        

         I am so happy when I found out that I had a baby sister! I was so proud and showed her off. I couldn’t wait for her to come home!
