Kaylee Goes Camping, Chapter 2

“Mom! Dad! Dad! Mom!” Kaylee yelled in a panicked voice as she ran down the stairs into the kitchen.

“What is it honey?” Ms. Natalie asked. Kaylee started wheezing. “Calm down Kaylee!” Ms. Natalie said as she grabbed Kaylee’s inhaler from the counter. Kaylee took two big puffs from it.

“Mom, I don’t have bug spray, I don’t have a flashlight, I don’t have”-

“A sleeping bag?” Kaylee’s dad, Mr. David interrupted as he walked into the kitchen. “Well, that’s why we should go shopping for supplies!” He spun the car keys around his finger.

“Thanks dad. You’re a life saver.” Kaylee said as she finally calmed down. “Let’s go!”

“Kaylee, aren’t you forgetting something?” Ms. Natalie asked. “Your inhaler…”

“Oh…thanks Mom!” Kaylee said as she grabbed the inhaler and ran out of the house to the car.

20 minutes later…

Kaylee and her dad pulled up in front of Academy Sports. “I’ve seen this store before, but I’ve never been inside.” Kaylee said to her dad.

“I’ve been here many times, and I like the outdoorsy vibe it gives.” Mr. David replied as he stepped out of the car.

Kaylee bounded out of the car. Why am I actually happy about this? She thought to herself with a smile on her face.

When they got inside, Kaylee was surprised to see the store sold solely camping gear and sports things. She looked around at all the tents as they walked through the camping gear isle. “Will we find bug spray here?” Mr. David gave her a proud smile as he pulled her to the isle with bug spray.

“See? Academy Sports has everything you need!” He beamed.

“This is my new favorite store!” Kaylee smiled.
