We all need a vacation, whether with the entire family or your significant other. Unfortunately, many of
us will not be able to follow through with vacation plans. But now, there is an alternative that is catching on rather quickly and it is called a "Staycation". A staycation is just what it sounds like, a vacation but you stay at home. It might not sound interesting, but you can turn it into a fun and relaxing getaway.
Tell family and friends your plans. In their eyes you are truly on vacation and they only need to contact you in case of an emergency.
Go outside; don't let the kids sleep all day. Go out and birdwatch, go fishing, explore the parks and
nature, take in all you can of the outside world. You can even have a relaxing day at the beach, soak in
some sun, and let the kids go swimming.
Go on a picnic; have the kids fly kites. Bring some bubbles, and have a nice day with the wind blowing
in your hair. Watch as the kids run and play and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
Camping is another fun way to have a staycation. If you have a camping ground in your area, you can
go camping for a day or two and show the kids how it is to live right in the heart of Mother Nature.
Just remember, it really doesn't matter where you decide to go, whether home or away. As long as you create quality time with your family you can strengthen the bonds that may have been pushed aside during
all the long stressful work hours. Time is the most important thing you can give to your husband, wife and
kids, enjoying every moment together, and you will have lasting memories in your hearts.

| One day last summer, my five-year-old son Parker and I decided to go fishing. Parker had fished before, but hadn't yet 1 the same hobby as me. We'd go to a farm pond, throw Parker's 2 into the water, and in about three seconds the bobber (浮子) would go under and Parker would get a three-inch fish. Parker 3 all that a great and exciting adventure. Then he was off, throwing rocks in the water, looking for frogs, picking flowers for his mom and generally 4 this whole process of fishing. So on this particular day, I decided to teach Parker a 5 . I had thought Parker could catch no more than a couple. But I 6 wrong. No more than two hours, Parker 7 almost ten. "Wow!" Parker said, "I bet mom won't 8 I caught so many." "She might," I answered, "Now be quiet and try to catch another one." Parker tried, but he couldn't keep his 9 off those already in the bucket(桶). I could tell that something was beginning to 10 him. "Dad," he said. "We're taking these home to show mom, right?" "Certainly," I said. Parker concentrated 11 his bobber for a moment. "How are they going to stay 12 ?" he asked. I expected his question and congratulated myself for having a ready 13 . "Well," I began, trying to be as 14 as possible, "they aren't. I mean, we're going to clean them when we get home. 15 we can eat them, and they'll have to die then, right?" "I guess so," Parker replied. He remained 16 while he caught a couple more. "I've got an idea," Parker announced. "Let's put them back in the 17 ." "I'm with you," I said, 18 the fish free. We stood together and watched them swim lazily back into the green 19 of the water. I had 20 on teaching Parker a fishing lesson, but he turned the tables on me. | |||

In closing let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of 57 me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home, 58 that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism for its future. 
I now begin this 59 that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright 60 ahead.
Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.
