An early Adventure

4 am, time to awake!
Mom’s still asleep, I give her a shake.
She gets out of bed with a yawn and a sigh,
She looks out the window and sees the dark sky.
She perks up and says, "I forgot!"
She shakes up my dad and he awakes with a "What?"
I say, "Wake up, it’s time to go!"
He hops out of bed, and what do you know?
He’s already dressed with his hair combed and all,
He looks at me, and stands up tall.
I rush to my room, and slip on a dress,
But then I realize, my hair’s all a mess!
I brush and brush,
And floss in a rush.
My sister walks in,
I ask, " Where have you been?"
She’s wearing her clothes, and her hair is all done.
It looks so perfect when it’s up in a bun.
She finally answers, "I got ready before."
Now we were all done, so we headed out the door.
Mom and Dad carried all luggage to the car,
We load up on snacks, ‘cause the rides very far.
Three hours later, we were at the airport,
I gazed at the airplanes and jets of all sort.
Now it was seven, and as we checked in,
We watched activity start to begin.
People working and walking too,
Also waiting for planes, like we were to do.
Finally at eight, our plane had arrived!
We all took our seats in row C 35.
The pilot announced, "We’re ready to go!"
I listened to the engine start with a mighty blow.
Finally it happened, we were up in the sky!
The plane turned and twisted as it started to fly.
The ride was amazing, it went really great!
We arrived at our destination, not a second late.
