My final draft

   Last year before the end of the summer, my whole family went to my cousin's house, to spend the last week of summer with her  in Leominster. We drove there on a Sunday evening. The next morning was very nice. There was birds chirping, aroma's of barbecue's in back yards, that made us want to go out and to enjoy the beautiful weather. At this point, my daughter came with the idea of planning a family picnic which we all agreed with that. We rounded up fresh fruit, grill ready meat, toys, blankets and beach towels. Then headed up to Johny Apple Seed Park. When we got there, we took a tour through the park. At first, I heard a noise, like a grasshopper's sound, I wasn't too sure about what it was. However, when we got to the lake,I heard a louder noise that seemed to be much closer. Then I saw a massive thing jump towards me. It was difficult to describe, I yelled, " Help! Help" ! I was so terrified because what I saw, was an enormous, red, yellow-eyed and slimy animal. I was petrified.
