Mosquitoes

There's so many mosquitoes this year! During the summer, I went to my friend's house in Stevenson and got bit 15 times! I have no idea how I got bit that many times! I saw a few of them flying around and I brushed some off my legs and arms but to get bit 15 times in a few hours is a little too much. My friend told me that there are a lot of mosquitoes around where they live. I should have believed her instead of thinking she was just exaggerating.  A few weeks later, my mom got bit on the back and on her foot. Unlike me, her skin gets swollen. She couldn't wear some of her shoes because of it! I'm pretty glad that my skin doesn't get swollen that easily. My friend also got bit quite a few times but not half as much as me. After my bites got better, they all left a scar. Oh well.
