I have been working on this story for about 2 months. I just want to thank all my family members for inspiring this story!!!!

The Camp Bluejay
They say every school has a bully.
I think every camp must have a Bluejay.
Hello, my name is Blue.
I am not blue though!!! 
I am actually always quite happy.
I live at Figure Eight lake.
There is a nice sandy beach, a trail around the lake, camp spots, a playground, and multiple picnic tables for people to use during the day.

 One day...

      A large family went camping. They showed up in a minivan with the side door half open. The first to climb out were two twin boys. Those are the most mischievous kind. And these two looked pretty mischievous. They took off running as soon as their feet hit the ground. Next out of the vehicle was mommy and daddy, the twin boy's sister, and then grandpa and grandma. 
      It seems like everybody brings something unique, when they go camping. This family was no different. Grandma brought her knitting. Grandpa brought his fishing pole. Daddy brought his work. Mommy brought their cat. The little girl brought her favourite doll. And the two twin boys brought their pranks(No joke).
   I would have to watch out for that cat. But I also wanted to keep an eye out for any food this family might leave laying around (Families are especially well known for leaving lots of food and trash around).
    The first evening was pretty uneventful, except for… Well it was nothing much. The twins were having fun pulling out tent pegs while their dad and grandpa were putting up the tent. Dad and grandpa started on one side, and went around the tent together putting in tent pegs to hold the tent down. After they went around the corner of the first side the two little twin boys snuck toward the tent and started pulling out tent pegs. I could tell this was going to be a pretty eventful weekend. Dad and Grandpa got back to where they started but they didn't see tent pegs in. So around they started again. They ended up going around the tent a few times. Lucky for them the two twin boys got tired of going around pulling out tent pegs. The two boys went into the woods a little ways to laugh. Finally their Dad and Grandpa got done with the tent.


-------------------
    Everyone knows fishing is best in the early in the morning. So grandpa woke up at about 5:30 to do some early morning fishing.  (I don't often use big words, but I have always wanted to use unbeknownst) Unbeknownst to him his twin grandboys heard him get up and they thought to themselves lets play a prank on grandpa while he is fishing. So they both got up and snuck after Grampa towards the lake. They started throwing rocks into the lake. Grandpa thought the fish were jumping. So he quickly got his line in. But he never got a single bite all morning, though the fish kept jumping. At breakfast Grandpa told about his fishing, the twins barely kept from laughing.

   After breakfast the family decided to take a walk around the lake. They should have cleaned the table better before they left. I saw this as my opportunity to get a bite to eat. After quickly eating a bit I decided to start flying around the lake to see where the family was. I found them about halfway around the lake. The two boys were begging to go for a swim. The parents said when they finished the walk. I saw the two boys look at each other mischievously and then they took off running ahead. "Don't go too far ahead", yelled both parents. As soon as the boys were out of sight one jumped in the bushes and hid. The other went a little farther and did the same thing. When their family got between them the boys started making bear sounds. The family was so scared and they didn't know what way to go. So they jumped into the lake. The two boys came running out of the bushes and jumped in too. And swam after their family all the way across the lake.

  For lunch the family had spaghetti and meatballs. Seriously who are these people? This is literally like my favorite meal. Anyway in the afternoon Grandma decided to do some knitting. Seeing their grandma reminded the boys of lunch. Or more precisely what they had for lunch. Spaghetti. Grandma's knitting yarn looked just like spaghetti noodles. And that gave the boys an idea. So they went and secretly got the leftover spaghetti from lunch. They quickly wound it up to look like a ball of knitting yarn. And silently switched out Grandma's knitting yarn with the ball of spaghetti. Because Grandma didn't have very good eyes she couldn't tell the difference between the ball of spaghetti and her knitting yarn. So she picked it up and started knitting with it. She thought it felt funny but she didn't think much of it. I probably don't have to tell you how her knitting turned out. (terrible)

   In the evening the family had a nice campfire. Dad was doing a little work. And grandpa and grandma were sitting by the fire holding hands. Mother was just out taking an evening stroll. The twins were as usual thinking up mischief. They noticed that the campfire made the shadows appear large on the tent.  Their little sister who had to go to bed early was in the tent sleeping. One of the boys snuck in and grabbed her doll, waking her a little. The other grabbed the cat. They both banged on the side of the tent a little bit. When they were certain the little sister was fully awake. One threw the cat toward the tent. The shadow of the cat was so huge. The cat landed with a soft thud on the tent. Their little sister screamed. She started crying for mother. They mimicked their mother's voice. Said "I'm coming". And threw the little doll toward the tent. Then they both laughed wickedly. 
 
Not much happened after that evening. The next day the family packed up and went home. Before you go. I just want to ask you a few questions.
Who is the real bluejay of the story?
What character are you most like?
