Jalisa Cordova Professor Savala English 252 14 February 2017 My trip to Santa Paula On December, we got an invitation to a Rivas family reunion. We decided to make it a family trip to Santa Paula. On our way to Santa Paula we sang songs, went to the beach in Oxnard then enjoyed the family reunion the following day. That early morning, we decided who was going in which cars. I ended up going with my aunt Mary and my cousin Ashley. On our way to Santa Paula we sang songs, but my aunt calls this a concert. It's so funny, because she has bright red hair and just does all these weird sounds when singing. My cousin Ashley didn't like the music listened too, so she just sat in the back seat taking pictures with her deep dimples and baby blue eyes. After a while of playing the music we liked we decided to let my cousin play some music that she liked, but of course we didn't end up liking her music. A couple hours later we got to Oxnard. You could feel the cool breeze and see the beautiful blue water so, w e decided to go to the beach that was t he first thing we did when getting there. When we got there me and my cousin Ashley met up with my cousin Ruben and sister Jessica. Me and Ashley made sand castles, but after finally building one the water came and destroyed the castle we had made. We sat there in disappointment, then seen my Jessica barring Ruben in the sand, so we helped her out by getting buckets of water and pouring it on the sand around her so it was harder for him to get out, because the sand would be heave. After being there for about an hour I got tired and wanted to go to my Great Grandma's house, but no one was ready to leave yet, so I had to wait in the car alone until they were ready to leave. Once everyone was ready to leave we got back on the road and headed to Santa Paula. When we arrived to my great grandma' s house everyone ate, showed and went to bed, because we had to get up early the following day to help get thing s ready for the family reunion. Early the next morning my aunt and grandma started cooking and the rest of us cleaned and set up outside. Once everyone arrived we gathered together and took a family picture. Around six o'clock everyone got on the dance floor and started dancing to some old-school music and Mexican music. This was the first time I seen everyone getting along and laughing together. There was nothing, but smiles and I couldn't have been happier seeing that happen. The family reunion didn't end till late that night some of our relatives didn't even go home. Having this family reunion was one of the best things that's probably happened lately. It was a time to remember even though I didn't enjoy every single moment I did though have an amazing time just being around my family all at once. Hopefully one day we can take this trip again and do all these fun thing, but this time do even more things than we did this time.
