II went to Washington to meet my cousin Kelsey. II was really excited, I got to meet a family member that I have never met before, and I got to go to Washington. When I got there it looked like there had just been a flood, there was trash and dead fish every where. There was even one house that was still waterlogged. People were really busy cleaning up the mess. My cousins house was an unkept little shack, the white paint was flaking off and the exposed wood was turning gray from the weather. My cousin was younger then me I think about 14. She had short blond curly hair, and still had her baby fat. She lived with her younger sister and uncle. Kelsey was a sweet, niave girl, so I had to watch my mouth around her. Before I came back home Kelsey got sick, but we thought it was just a cold. The weather hadn't been nice the whole time i was there. A couple days latter I got a phone call while I was at work. It was Kelsey's little sister, she had called me that Kelsey had died on her birthday. Apparently she had drank some contaminated water from a nearby lake. But before Kelsey died she gave her sister a gietar, she didn't know how to play so she had her uncle play a sad cowboy song for me over the phone.
