Arriving in California

We got off the plane. It went by pretty fast I was asleep the whole time.

My uncle was going to pick us up and take us to eat and then to our house. I was excited to see what our house was like. And my neighbourhood. And my school. And my friends.

We got in my Uncle's car, Uncle Jay. We hadn't seen him in forever we had a lot of catching up to do over the meal. We arrived at chipotle, I'd never eaten here before.

It was so good! Now time to go see the new house!!! We got in the car and rode. I stared out the window. This place was huge.

"There's your school, Fillman High. It has some wonderful teachers," said Uncle Jay.
"Wow. It's pretty. I can't wait to go there!"

We pulled in a drive way. Trees on either side. It was a long driveway, all I could see was the porch. We passed some tall bushes. And there it was......our house. HUGE. I couldn't believe it. This was our house? There was no pool, but there was a creek behind our house.

"Yall go explore the house while we get the bags." Said my mom.
Me and James looked at each other and ran to the front porch. "I didn't expect it to be this awesome." Said James. I replied, "me neither!"

We opened the door with the key. Tall ceilings, huge fire place, stairs going on either side of the living room leading up with a visible hallway from down here. I loved it . It couldn't get any better. We went on the back porch to see the creek. I expected it to be dirty looking, but it was nice and clear and there was a little waterfall up the stream a little. On the back porch we had canoes, paddles, life jackets, floats, and more. James sat down in a chair looking out. I ran through the house to the car and gave my parents a hug. " I really really love it." They smiled and I helped them with our bags.

My room was huge. I had a queen size bed. I crawled in and fell asleep.
