Uncle and Niece

By: Samaira Vivek

Megan was very excited. Her Uncle Alex was coming over for a few days to stay with Megan and her mom. Megan looks out the window and sees that her uncle is here. She runs to get to the door and gives her uncle a big hug. Megan’s mom helps out with Uncle Alex’s bags.

The next day, Uncle Alex wakes up and makes pancakes for breakfast for Megan and her mom. He wants to hang out with Megan for an entire day. It would be good for them because they haven’t hung out together in a long time. After breakfast, Megan and her Uncle Alex got ready to head outside. Megan’s mom stayed inside to clean the house.

Uncle Alex and Megan both first walked outside to the park. It was very pretty. There were a lot of flowers, cherry blossoms, and full grown trees. They saw people sitting on the ground having picnics with their families. They also watched birds and butterflies fly around the park.

Next, they went out to a small diner for lunch. The food was delicious. While they were eating, they were chatting about other things, like Megan’s school, her friends, and what she does in her spare time. After lunch, Megan and Uncle Alex decided to go bike riding. So, they rented bikes and started to ride them. While they were riding their bikes, Megan tripped over a rock. She scraped her knee pretty badly.

Uncle Alex saw what happened and quickly got his first aid kit. All of a sudden, Megan decided to go home. At home, Megan walked to her room and cried. Tears streamed down her face. Uncle Alex came up and comforted her. He hugged her and told her that it’s going to be okay. Soon, Megan started to calm down slowly. She and her Uncle Alex both decided to go outside again and feel the fresh air. Finally, Megan and Uncle Alex stayed outside until it got dark. At night they decided to go out for dinner and then went back home. Uncle Alex and Megan both had a great time by spending the whole day together.
