Querencia Draft

5:00am, I get out of my bed yawning and drowsy. I'm looking out of window to see if anyone is awake around me, but I see no sign of anyone. My heart was pumping in shock of thinking no one is awake. As I'm turning around to see what today is, it says "Vacation to Utah". It was totally confusing for me how I forgot about my trip. I couldn't remember anything what I did last night. All I remember was waking up this morning on the floor in my room. This was to weird, for me not remembering what happened last night. As I stumbled across my bags of suitcases, I recalled packing up my things and my mom saying "Don't forget to sleep early". My memories was slowly coming back to me. When I walked more around my room I saw on my dresser, Nyquil. I read the label on the back and it says "Symptoms: drowsy". So that explains my drowsiness. 5:30am, I hear the my car starting "Vrooom Vrooom". I rushed outside to see whats all the commotion about. And I see my uncle loading his bags into the car. So I quickly ran inside the house get my things ready and start loading my things. 6:00am we arrive to the airport. We get through TSA quickly and smoothly with no hold ups.7:00am the plane arrives and we get on the plane. "Woooh" finally were on the plane, now I can rest. 2:00pm Hawaii time, 5:00pm Utah time. 3 hour difference. I finally wake up right next to my mom saying "Are we there yet??", she replied "yes we are". I jumped out of my seat and took a good glimpse outside and I saw the most magnificent piece of land I've ever saw. The mountains was as beautiful as the sun is rising over the horizon. The snow on the mountain is like heaven, across the whole landscape. My vision was astounded, I was nearly speechless. Touchdown!!! I'm finally here in Utah, the first thing I did was take a deep breath, getting the feeling of the cool rush of air through me. At last I can feel and see Utah with my own eyes. We drive to the cabin up all the way into the mountains, I can see deer, different color rocks, and snow falling from the mountains. I knew this was going to be a good vacation. We get to the cabin and we see people playing in the snow, and I asked my mom "can I play with them please??" she said "sure you can but don't get hurt". I ran over to them quickly and introduced my self. "Hello my name is Branden I'm new here and I was wondering if I could play with you guys. They said "yes" and introduced themselves "my name is "Ethan,  this is my little brother Micah and Joshua, and my little sister Haley." They had a nice perky face on there look and well properly dressed for the snow. Ethan and I were the oldest and we got along really fast. Ring Ring Ring, the next day I woke up determined and ready for anything. I walk up the stairs to the kitchen and see eggs, bacon, portuguese sausage, hash browns, pancakes, and waffles. My stomach was craving for food. I couldn' wait until my mom said "time to eat" so I took a sneak peek and took a bite of the waffles and pancakes. They were so yummy, I hear my mom and my uncle walking up the stairs and I quickly stopped eating. They were looking at me suspiciously but I tried to cover it up with some words "What are we doing today?" she replied "were going snowboarding. I said "really?!?!" I was full of excitement and joy. As I looked outside I couldn't imagine my eyes. The mountain was like 100,000ft!!!! my heart was thumping rapidly, I thought I was going to pass out. But I said to myself "come on you can do this!!" and with the encouragement of my mom and my uncle, I can conquer this mountain.
