To me putting your family first is very important, because the more time you spend together the closer you will become. And it starts with the little things you do, whether it is helping your mother with the dishes or watching a movie with the whole family.

This is how I spend time with my family. Every year we go to Busch Gardens in Virginia. Once we get there our face light up because we see a whole day of excitement. We all pick one thing we would like to do. First my dad and I pick and we both wanted to ride the roller coasters. I would have to say the roller coasters are so far the best. Then my sister Lindsey picks what she wants to do, she said tat she wanted to go on some water rides. They were fun but I liked the roller coasters better. Next my mom picked, she wanted to watch one of the acrobatic shows. Okay I do have to admit, the show was the best. It was cool how they would flip around in the air. Next the sad part is we have to go home.

Traveling home was not all that great but it was okay. We sang a lot of songs. We also watched a very funny movie. Then when I was finally about to fall asleep we were home.

As soon as we got out of the care and into the house there was our two dogs (Daisy and Mickey) waiting at the door to greet us. I started playing with them while my mom started to cook dinner. As soon as it was done we all sat at the table together to eat. We also were talking all about how wonderful our day had been. That is one way how I spend time with my family, but there are many more.
