 * ﻿"Visiting My Aunt Debbie in Columbus" **

My favorite place to go is my Aunt Debbie's house in Columus.

Their house is like a castle. When you first get there, you drive up their driveway and see a spacious yard that is closed off from every house surrounding it by trees and bushes. Straight ahead there is an old playset and a trampoline. When we get out of the car we walk up a stone path that leads towards a fence. Inside the fence, is a huge built-in pool, and a porch that is kind of like a room. You can smell the chlorine of the pool, feel the wind, and hear birds everywhere. Inside the porch, there are tables, chairs and drawers and finally, the front door.

When you walk into their house, you see a living room with a bookshelf going across one of the walls, a TV, and a long couch. In a corner of the room, there is a door that leads to the basement. At first, when you walk down the carpeted steps, it looks like an ordinary basement with a laundry room, but when you turn, there is a game room. It has a foosball table, a pool table, a playstation 2, a gamecube, and recently, a wii. There is also a kitchen filled with popsicles, pop, and snacks. When you go back upstairs into the living room, you walk up three or four wooden stairs and see the kitchen. Right next to the kitchen is the dining room, where there is always peaceful music playing. There is also a piano and a long wooden table that can sit up to 10 people! Finally, when you go upstairs, there is a long hallway, and at the end are three bedrooms. All of them are great, but my favorite is the guest bedroom, because it is very peaceful.

The next reason that I like visiting my Aunt Debbie is the trips that we go on. Sometimes my Uncle Johny lets my sister, my cousin, and I put pillows and blankets in the tractor bed, and he'll take us out to the old pond back behind the yard. It's beautiful there. There's beautiful flowers, jumpy frogs, and rocks that we can skip across the pond. In the winter, we go to the zoo. The Columbus Zoo is different from most zoos. During december, there is a station right when you walk into the entrance where you can make your own cookies. There are reindeer and they give kids reindeer food to feed them. They have indoor parts of the zoo, like the aquarium, the farm, and the bird room. My favorite thing to do at the zoo in Columbus, is go ice skating with my family. None of us no how to skate, but it's funny when we fall because we look over and another one of us falls.

These are the reasons why I love visiting my Aunt Debbie in Columbus.
