It Was All a Dream

Abstract

One day Katie, Kenzie and Kari go to bed and have the same dream. They ride horses every day from 4:00 p.m. to 5 :00 p.m. They start out by waking up in their bedrooms and getting breakfast from the kitchen. On Thursday they rode until 6:00 p.m. because they did not keep an eye on the time. Mom and dad got worried and went outside to check on them. They were in the stables washing their horses and brushing them. Katie put a blanket on Ali and Kenzie and Kari put blankets on Buttercup and Peaches. Mom had dinner done and the girls went in for potatoes and carrots with deer meat. They take showers and go to bed. The next morning the girls got ready for school and left. They got home from school and rode their horses.
The characters are Katie, Kenzie, Kari, Mom, and Dad. The girl's nickname is the 3 stooges. Elizabeth loves her horse Ali and Alyssa loves her horse Buttercup. Kenna likes her horse, Peaches. Mom and dad love watching the girls play with the horses. Mom and dad do not have any animals, but they think of it as they share with the girls. Mom and dad had a dog named Eden, but she passed away the day before Thanksgiving. Everyone was incredibly sad, but they had a suitable time with family and friends.
What they do daily is they go to school from 8:00 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Katie and Kenzie are in the 7th grade and Kari is in the 5th grade. Katie and Kenzie are twins, and they are 12 years old. Kari will be 10 years old tomorrow. After school, the 3 stooges go home and do their homework. Katie has math to do, Kenzie has history to do, and Kari must do reading. After they do homework they ride their horses Buttercup, Ali, and Peaches. Alyssa fell off her horse and into the mud. Everyone laughed and they went inside to wash up for dinner. Mom made pizza and com for dinner. Mom sat next to dad, dad sat next to Katie, Katie sat next to Kenzie and Kenzie sat next to Kari. Kari was also next to mom. After dinner, the girls go and take showers. The girls had to take turns because there are two bathrooms, but only one for the girls. Kari went first, then Katie went and finally Kenzie went. After their showers, they get ready for bed. Katie and Kenzie have fallen asleep, but Kari is still up. It is 10:00 p.m. and Kari is still awake. A loud noise came outside! The horses have gotten out of the fence. They run after them and yell for them to come back. They did not so they got in the truck with dad. They went after the horses and got them to the spot running. They rode the horses back home and fixed the fence. It was 12:00 a.m. and they were still trying to get the horses in the stable. But they finally did, and it was 12:10 a.m.
They finally got to go to bed, and it was 12:20 in the morning. They all fell asleep in a matter of no time. Mom and dad did not fall asleep until 12:50 a.m. after the girls. They finally woke up from a deep sleep and they all had the same dream. It was about what happened with the horses. It was all a dream, and nothing ever happened to the horses. Ali, Buttercup and Peaches were outside eating fresh hay and grain.
