I’m going to talk about a lovely place that I visited with my family. It was 10 years ago, but I could still remember how beautiful the place was. It was an Orem located in Yuda County in US. The city is known for its family oriented environment with numerous parks and recreational areas. The moment we arrived there, I could feel the welcoming atmosphere. The people’s smiles and greetings were really bright in your day. And the generosity of the people is commendable. One time we went into a thrift store and we were so amazed with the branded products on sale that we bought a lot of stuffed toys and clothes plus a humidifier. Apparently, we didn’t think that we only had a compact car, so when we loaded our purchases, they won’t fit in the trunk. Seriously, we were struggling at that time. Here came a family who saw us and offered us a ride home. You know what they did? They littered two children’s day in a store. To wait for them, we went and took us home. It was heartwarming. Not only that we enjoyed a family friendly community, but also the stunning landscapes and beautiful sceneries that surrounded Yuda County. We went to Wasatch Mountains where we were thrilled by its scenic view. I felt like I was just looking at a painting as we send it to the mountains. It was fall season, so vibrant colors of the trees were all over. It was breathtaking. We saw a couple of moose along the road and of course we took a lot of photos there. I was able to capture a squirrel, a eagle and a corn of beaver and a mirror like oh, it was really mesmerizing. Literally, you can see the trees and yourself in the water like you’re in the mirror. Having done so many outdoor activities, strolling around the park, riding in a cable car and enjoying the natural beauty of the surroundings with my family and friends were a memorable experience.

I'm going to talk about a lovely place that I visited with my family. It was 10 years ago, but I can still remember how beautiful the place was. It was Orem, located in Utah County in the US. The city is known for its family-oriented environment with numerous parks and recreational areas. The moment we arrived there, I could feel the welcoming atmosphere. The people's smiles and greetings really brightened our day. The generosity of the people is commendable. One time we went into a thrift store, and we were so amazed by the branded products on sale that we bought a lot of stuffed toys and clothes, plus a humidifier. Apparently, we didn't think that we only had a compact car, so when we loaded our purchases, they wouldn't fit in the trunk. Seriously, we were struggling at that time. Here came a family who saw us and offered us a ride home. You know what they did? They left two children in the store. To wait for them, we went and they took us home. It was heartwarming. Not only did we enjoy a family-friendly community, but also the stunning landscapes and beautiful scenery that surrounded Utah County. We went to the Wasatch Mountains, where we were thrilled by its scenic view. I felt like I was just looking at a painting as we ascended the mountains. It was fall season, so vibrant colors of the trees were all around. It was breathtaking. We saw a couple of moose along the road, and of course, we took a lot of photos there. I was able to capture a squirrel, an eagle, and a couple of beavers. The water was like a mirror; it was really mesmerizing. Literally, you could see the trees and yourself in the water like you were in a mirror. Having done so many outdoor activities, strolling around the park, riding in a cable car, and enjoying the natural beauty of the surroundings with my family and friends was a memorable experience.
