Lake George

When I was little my family and I used to go to Lake George for many summers. We also had some friends of the family come along as well. It was always a fun time. We would go horseback riding, shopping, whitewater rafting, para-sailing,  boat riding. We also went to amusement parks and many other places. Lake George is filled with fun things to do over the summer. White water rafting and horseback riding were definitely two of my favorite things to do. Every year we would also watch fireworks at the lake, while eating ice cream. I have been to Disney World in Florida as well. That was great time too. I can't decide which place I like more.

Grammar Point 

When one is writing a sentence name more than 2 activities, commas need to follow after each activity except the last one. (Ex - We would go horseback riding, shopping, whitewater rafting, para-sailing,  boat riding.) Now write a small paragraph (5 sentences) explaining activities you have done on a trip or your hobbies. Make sure to include more than 2 activities in 2 of the sentences to practice commas after a series of elements.

  2. I always wanted to go white water rafting. I tried it out but apparently I booked the wrong one because all we were doing is rowing a raft down a canal for 4 hours :(

    What is the name of the place that you went to?
    Is that a picture of you rafting? Looks fun!
