Naswa Resort

Since 2006 we have been going to New Hampshire every year. We meet up with about 
7 other families, about 30  people all from my mothers side of the family. We 
stay at the Naswa Resort. In order to fit us all, we rent all of the cabins in 
our row. The cabins are located right on the lake with all of the summer 
activities. One of the activities includes a boat ride tour of the lake, Lake 
Winnepausauke. Other activities include snorkeling, paddle boating, kayaking, 
jet skiing, tubing, and much more! 

Out of all those things my favorite was probably jet skiing. As you're going 
across the waves, you have an adrenaline rush. On the jet ski, you can either 
sit or stand to navigate across the waves. Jet skiing was outstanding, and it 
also gave you a chance to view the lake as you're going by at high speeds.
Located right on the lake was also the bar. I tried just about every "virgin" 
drink they had. My favorite was either the strawberry daiquiri or the mudslide. 
We were able to buy the drink glasses, which we still have to remind us of our 
trip. 

Another fun activity we did was go to Fun Spot. Fun Spot was the second largest 
arcade in the world. Since it was raining every day, we went every day to the 
indoor arcade. This was a good way to waste my parents money. I would like to go 
from game to game, I didn't exactly have a favorite one. Whenever I was running 
low on coins I'd play a 'circus game' where you put a coin in and tried to knock 
multiple ones down. This was the type of game where you win some and you lose 
some. Every day we probably spent about two hours here. The arcade had three 
levels so it kept you occupied. 

The most memorable year of these summer trips was in 2009. We knew this wasn't 
going to be a good week by the looks of the weather forecast. Five of the seven 
day trip it poured  all day long. This killed most of our plans because they 
required sunshine. The fifth day was  by far the worst. The day began with 
torrential rain so as it was we had to stay inside. By the afternoon, the roads 
were flooding. I had noticed that the water being flooded was getting closer and 
closer to the propane tank. We of course were located right beside it, lucky us! 
My sister and I at the time weren't even in our cabins. We had been in the cabin 
with our grandparents. We watched the rain and wind carry my grandparents' grill 
and swing set into the lake. The sand around the house had eroded and the water 
had just been flooded even more, almost to the point of reaching our house. Soon 
after, I saw people leaving their cabins. This made me wonder why people would 
be leaving in such weather. A couple minutes after, we heard a knock on the 
door. The person at the door said we were being evacuated to the hotel across 
the street. The guy said the water was getting too close to the propane tank and 
if it had got closer, it would blow up.  After hearing this, we ran to our cabin 
and grabbed all of our belongings because we didn't know what would happen. 
After we were in the hotel, we just stared out the window and watched the rain 
destroy anything in its path. 

The next day we were allowed to go back to the cabins and get the rest o our 
belongings. We saw the parking lot had eroded away, the swing set and grill were 
gone, and the sand had huge holes in the ground. We decided to go home since our 
trip had been washed out. On our way home we stopped at Fun Spot to redeem our 
weeks worth of tickets. We had about 20,000 tickets! We didn't waste them, we 
put all of ours together and got an electric scooter. Surprisingly we had just 
enough to get it. By the time we arrived home, it was a beautiful day. It was blue 

skies and 80 degrees. Of course that's just our luck.
