My favorite thing about spring is spring break. That’s because every year since I was little, my grandparents have taken my sister, my mom, and I to Pigeon Forge. It is always a fun time. The hotel we stay at has a heated pool with a slide and a lazy river, so my sister and I can swim even if it is cold outside. We like to go to a place called The Island and it has a ton of rides. My favorite is the parrot rollercoaster. I like to do the ropes course with the zip lines and at the end you get to jump off with a bungee cord.
Another day we go to Gatlinburg and ride the ski lift to the top of the mountains. We walk across the sky bridge. You can see through the bottom on some parts of the bridge. It is so high up. One time we saw a bear while we were coming down the ski lift. My mom and nana make us go to a candy store. We get to watch them make taffy and they always give me a piece. My mom makes us go to a Christmas store and I get bored and it takes her hours.
My favorite part of the trip is going up to the Chimneys. I love to get in the creek and it’s freezing cold. I jump around on all the big rocks and climb up on them. My nana is always scared I’ll fall. Sometimes I try to push my sister so she will fall in the cold water.
We always play putt putt with my Papa. Last time I got 2 holes in one. My papa won a free game so we played another time. My mom and sister ride gokarts with me.
Spring Break is awesome! I love going to Pigeon Forge with my family!
