My summer vacation (so far) by Emilia SacconeJoly...
After three years we have finally left our grey mansion to go on a 'family' vacation. My dad said we were so lucky to get a gifted vacation, and that is why he has to film our every waking moment. That morning we were all packed and ready to go, but my Mum had to complete her two-hour make-up routine, so as usual we were late to the airport and we almost missed our flight. On the airplane I tried to relax, but I was in charge of taking care of my younger siblings, because my Dad says that is my job as the eldest child and he needs 'alone' time with his invisible friends.
We flew to...??? I actually don't know where we are, but it doesn't matter because we will never leave the resort anyway. When we got to the apartment, we found out that all four of us have to share single beds in one small room. Well except for Andrea, he gets to sleep in a tiny play-pen on the floor. It was really uncomfortable and none of us got much sleep, but we were not allowed to disturb our parents.
My siblings and I were so excited to be somewhere new, and we wanted to sight-see, go to the pool, visit the beach, etc. But instead, we were forced to go to the Kid's Club. All day. Every day. We watched movies, played Uno, decorated cupcakes, and they did face painting. But that is for babies so I refused to get mine done. Dad says I am an edgy teenager, so why am I stuck at kids club?
Our parents told us this was a 'family' vacation, but the only time we are allowed to spend with them is at meal times. Every day for breakfast we went to the buffet, where we slathered our food in Nutella, except for me, I had bowls of ham. For dinner we always went to the same restaurant where my parents had tropical drinks and fancy entrees. My siblings and I ate bowls of plain pasta...every night. So by now, all of us are really constipated.
So far, the highlight of my 'family' vacation has been the train (golf cart) that we have to ride everywhere, but yesterday my parents announced that we were finally going to leave the resort. We were so excited. Where would we go? A fun day trip? A sightseeing excursion. Playing at the beach? So many options to pick from. And they chose.....the boring mall because they wanted to go shopping. Ugh.
So, we still have a few more days left on this 'family' vacation so hopefully we do something exciting and I will write about that. Please don't deduct marks from this assignment. I tried to write as much as I could, but it's not my fault that my parents are boring, selfish people that don't want to spend time with us.
