BEN AND HIS VACATION That night
Ben was too excited. He was eagerly waiting for the next morning. As soon as the first bit of the sun peeped through his window, he jumped from bed and grabbed his bag from his shelf and opened it on the floor. Ben put in some of his favourite things to take with him on his trip to visit Grandpa. He put in a book on building forts, a book on making go-carts and a new book he had taken from the library about a *** detective who creates his own spy gear. He also put in a model car kit and his stuffed bear. He was ready to go!
Going to visit his grandfather for a week was always Ben'* favourite part of summer vacation. Grandpa would take him fishing and to baseball games. Grandpa also taught Ben how to fix things around the house. Last year, when he was eight-years-old, Ben had learned how to replace a broken doorknob and how to fix a leaky tap. Grandpa was patient and did not mind taking many hours to show Ben how to use his tools.
Ben' mom came to his bedroom door. 'Grandpa' here,' she said with a smile. Ben grabbed his backpack and ran into the kitchen where Grandpa was waiting. 'Ready, big guy ?' asked Grandpa. 'Or do you want to eat breakfast before we leave ?' 'Ready', said Ben. As he kissed his mother good-bye, he felt his stomach rumble. 'We can eat later !'
