A Vacation with My Mother
I had an interesting childhood.It was filled with surprises and amusements，all because of my mother—loving，sweet，yet absent minded and forgetful．One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her.
My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota，and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way.As the first day of our trip approached，David，my eight year old brother，and I unwillingly said good bye to all of our friends.Who knew if we'd ever see them again？Finally，the moment of our departure arrived，and we loaded suitcases，books，games，camping equipment，and a tent into the car and bravely drove off.We bravely drove off again two hours later after we'd returned home to get the purse and traveler's checks Mom had forgotten.
David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept：“You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨) while I go，and I'll stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.”I had terrible pictures in my mind：“Honey，where are the kids？”“What？！Oh，Gosh...I thought they were being awfully quiet.”We were never actually left behind in a strange city，but we weren't about to take any chances.
On the fourth or fifth night，we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy.After driving in vain for some time，Mom suddenly got a great idea：Why didn't we find a house with a likely looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there？David and I became nervous.To our great relief，Dad turned down the idea.Mom never could understand our objections(反对)．If a strange family showed up on her front doorstep，Mom would have been delighted.She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is.We finally found a vacancy in the next town.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
【参考范文】
The next day we remembered the brand new tent we had brought with us.Mom suggested—again—that we should put it up somewhere beautiful so as to experience a memorable trip．At last，Dad agreed.However，David and I were still worried about it.Then Dad spent about half an hour persuading us and of course he succeeded.At 2 p．m.，we found a perfect place for camping．We took out the tent from our car，and put it up together，which gave us a sense of achievement.As a matter of fact，the idea that Mom came up with turned out to be wonderful and unforgettable.
We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the way.For example，there is a beautiful lake in a state.Its water is clear and calm.David and I couldn't wait to swim in it.After swimming，we asked Dad to teach us fishing.To our surprise，we two brothers caught a lot of fish for the first time，which is beyond our expectation！Dad roasted them all，which were extremely delicious.Then，Mom looked back on her childhood when she went camping with her parents，which made David and I even doubt that sometimes she was not forgetful．Eventually，we visited my two sets of grandparents，and we'll never forget the interesting details in the trip.(共62张PPT)
