A wanted trip to Toronto, Canada

          For my birthday this year I want to go to Toronto. I want to go see the Flyers play them this year and it would be cool to see the team play in a different arena. It so happens that they play on my exact birthday date which is April 4. I am a big Flyers fan and I enjoy seeing them play. It would be a new experience in Toronto because I have never been their before. It is also a great place to visit because there is a lot to do when you have down time before the game begins. I think that all of the fans are nice and that they wouldn't give the Flyers fans a hard time about being that particular to who you support. This year that can not happen because it is in the middle of the week and both of my parents work. It is also on one of the busiest days for my dad in the office seeing all of the patients. If it was on a weekend then we would probably end up going anyway to see them. I don't know what I am going to do this year for my birthday and how it is going to be celebrated. It is my eighteenth this year and their are more things that I am able to do that I wasn't able to do before.

The Philadelphia Flyers Season

             The Flyers this year have had a rough start. They began the season 0-3 and I thought that they weren't going to do well this year. I judged a little bit and I did not give them time for the season to start since this year is a odd year with a shortened season. They started to make a comeback to improve their standings and got with in 6 points which is equivalent to 3 wins behind. It occurred to me that everything was going to be alright for the rest of the season. It turns out that things have gone south for the Flyers in the past two weeks and they have lost 4 of their last 5. I have a feeling that this  year that they are not going to make the playoffs. It has been a rough road for the year for them especially with the defense that they have been producing. I see it every time during the game play that they do not have the required defense. They fail big time getting up to the net and protecting the net with the goal tender to stop  the puck or at least block the shots. It goes on everyday that they play but they still are winning some times. I hope that they can change what they are doing and get more wins this year. They have definitely have had a rough start to the season that is more than half way over.

A Trip to Lake George

                I took a trip to Lake George, New York to see my great-grandmother for a weekend. It takes a good six hours to get up there assuming that the traffic is somewhat light. There is a stop that we took that is at the half way point of the trip and it is similar to a truck stop. I like this stop because I get tired from sitting in the car for long periods of time. Then the trip continues to the beautiful lake. Her house is off a gravel road and it is a good ways back in their. Once we arrive I greet her and give her a hug and get settled into the house. It is a view on a lake that is pretty with boats going by and people doing various water sports. I decided that one of the days that I would go tubing with some friends that were next door that I knew. The other people that were there were going to go water skiing and wake boarding. When it came time for my turn with my cousin we got out into the water and hopped in to the tube. It started out where we could not get thrown out of the tube even with the high waves that the boat was producing. Then my cousin had enough and he intentionally rolled out of the tube. There was this one wave that I will never forget. We hit a waves that sent me flying up into the air. The funny thing was that I landed right back into the tube and everyone was wondering how that was possible. The last run that we had was the funniest. We hit a double wave that sent both of us flying in the air and I hit a weird angle that hurt when I hit the water. Then we got back into the boat to recover from that hit onto the water because we and enough. Then I got to see the other people go and that was lots of fun to watch. Then that weekend was over and we had to go back home because school was getting ready to start.
