One of my greatest memories of my childhood is going to my grandparent’s summer house in Leland, Michigan. I have been there many times over the years and every time was fun.
One year when I went to the summer home I was about six
years old and me and my brothers, Matthew and Patrick, decided to go
outside into the grass to play. 
Then we decided to play with a suction
cup bow and arrow, so we decided to do that. Before long, we decided
that it would be fun for me to hide behind giant blocks of Styrofoam,
and both of my older brothers would shoot at me with the arrows. I agreed
to this because it sounded like fun, so I ducked behind the Styrofoam
block and my brothers started shooting the suction cup arrows at me.
The plan worked out at first and the arrows sailed through the air and
got embedded into the Styrofoam. Then, I got out from behind the blocks
for some reason I can not remember and suddenly, an arrow nailed me right
in the eye. I did what any six year old would and cried and went inside
to my parents. Before long I was fine and we had fun for the rest of
the trip.
Another year when I went to my grandparents summer home there was a family reunion. All of us had a lot of fun. Most of the time, we would go out onto the beach for most of the day and do many activities.
One of these was go out onto a raft in the lake the summer house was next to. My brothers, my cousins, and I all would go out onto the raft and play on it. I remember when we would dive off raft and find a lot of odd things in the water. Also, we would see who could stay on the raft and we would all push each other off. Another thing we did on the lake was go out into a motorboat. We did all sorts of things on the motorboat including knee boarding. My cousin would go water skiing but he was much bigger than me and I couldn’t go water skiing. I remember knee boarding and feeling the pressure to stay on the board while cruising through the water. It was so fun to fall off the board and go plummeting into the water.
My grandparents eventually sold the summer home but I still have the memories of all the fun I had there. That was one of my favorite places to go during my early childhood. Whatever we did, from going on the raft in the middle of the water, to shooting arrows at each other, I always had fun in that old house.
