Personal Narrative-Mucky Creek

Improved Essays
Introduction:

It was hard to tramp our barefoot through the muck in our stunning, not so appealing creek. Dodging muck balls, “splat!,” the muck hit me in the face. Fish swimming between our toes. Finding hidden treasures. Jumping over rocks, stepping in the sand and especially having fun running our bare feet through the mucky water. And especially swinging moss around like a lasso so we could hit each other in the face.

Action paragraph 1:

“Yuck!,” why did you throw mud in my hair?

My sister and I were having a mud fight, playing in the creek with the frogs, fish, and snakes. We were also searching for concealed treasures in the deep murky water of casa creek. We find treasures on our 6 acres of land that my family owns. We have found old metal springs from beds, tools, and glass. Having said this, I should've realized that wearing shoes in the creek would have been a good idea. You have to be very bold if you want to step in my mess of a creek. Action Paragraph 2: We decided to take a break, got out of the creek for a refreshing snack to boost our energy. Popsicles! Our nannies each got green apple, I got cherry, my sister got pineapple. We sat around by the pool and ate our refreshing slushie popsicles. Then we cannonballed right back into the murky water. The creek wasn’t deep enough for a full sized cannonball although it was deep enough for a baby cannonball. The water splashed all over the very dry nannies so now they were drenched with nasty creek water. Action Paragraph 3: We decided to play a game similar to capture the flag. Capture the mud, the flag was mud. There was a little action figure in the big stack of mud and whoever found the figure first won. The stack of mud could be as tall as you wanted. I usually bury it under all the mud. My sister usually does to but oh well. She usually figures out my strategies, takes them and she doesn’t know that I come up with new ones. So I always know where she will hide the figure. Climax: “MUD WAR,” My sister screamed out into the open.

We were playing in the creek, all things good until I was going to step out of the creek. A stick was protruding out of the wet, mucky sand and bam half of the stick punctured its way into my left foot. I bounced my way out of the creek in contact with my towel. Luckily my nanny, Rachel, was a certified E.M.T. and she took it out with no harm done. My other nanny and my sister, Alexis, didn't even know what was going on except for my little fake OW! It actually didn’t hurt. Well it ends up that an infection started. At 8:00 p.m. my Mom had to take me to the Emergency Room where I had to get a Tetanus shot and antibiotics. I started wearing water shoes from that point on. Falling action paragraph 1: As soon as we were done,hoping to play volley ball. …show more content…
My wish came true. We volleyball and I had to hop the whole time. And didn’t have any shoes on again and we have 4 dogs in a fenced in area and I was going to get a ball and I steeped my right foot in dog poop. Once again another accident with no shoes on. That time I didn’t have any injuries at least. And we continued playing like nothing happened to me that day. The day was normal, thinking it would be fine for the rest of the day.

Falling action paragraph 2: It was about 5:00, erging for my mom to get home. I told my mom about the incident and she looked at it and thought there was something in it like little pieces of stick in my foot and there was. And then later in the night we were reading outside and she asked me to show it to her and I did and it was swelling up. So she was taking precautions and took me to the emergency room because she didn’t want it to swell up and I couldn’t walk in the morning. Falling action paragraph 3: We arrived at cincinnati children's on 3333 Burnet Avenue Cincinnati, OH. There were tons of

Little did we know that it was not a good idea!!! We ended up fighting for the chair and he jumped on it and then I tried to get it by jumping on him and forcing him out but instead we spun around and around. I ended up falling off and was so dizzy that I stumbled and hit the fire plays head first and got a big old goose egg! I learned not to jump on a spinny chair, let alone with another person on it.…

    This story begins on a hot, summer Sunday on a neighborhood playground in Ponte Vedra Beach Florida when I was a kindergartener. The playground had one item that I liked the most which was a thing that you would hold onto then someone would push you across ten feet while your feet were hanging down. My dad came up to push me and might have pushed me a little too hard. When I got to the end of the line there was a rubber block that stops you very abruptly. Due to inertia, I was flung off of the handle over the rail, then did some crazy acrobatics in the air, Finally I landed right on top of my left wrist.…

    When I was ten years old, I moved to West Texas. I loved swimming in the lakes and ponds around my home before, so I was disappointed when I found out that there was only one body of water near my new home. This “lake” (about the size of a football field) was called Clearwater Lake. It took about an hour’s time to drive there. The first time my family drove over there, I was amazed by how many people there were, all the cars packed liked sardines, the people moving so slowly it was like molasses.…
