To my sister Bella & My neice Renesmee.

[Isabella Marie Swan Cullen]

Bella nodded in agreement with Alice, "A family hunting trip would be nice, camping does sound fun."

She had never been camping before, but the prospect of the idea had Bella excited for all the possibilities. Just the thought of having the nature all around her, no one around for miles, and with plenty of prey to hunt; had Bella excited. Nessie had also never been camping, so she had a feeling her daughter would have a lot of fun.

"What do you think Edward?" she questioned her husband, who grinned lopsidedly.

"I thin it's a great idea." Bella smiled at his response. Hunting with him, now that wasn't something she would pass up. Ever since she had been changed they did everything together, Bella had to admit that she and Edward were inseparable, well, unless it was something important and it was necessary for them to be apart.

She looked down at her daughter and wondered what Renesmee thought of the idea. Did she want to go hunting? Then again, Bella knew the answer would be an obvious 'yes'. Her daughter loved to go hunting.

[Alice Cullen]

Alice looked at everyone as she froze in her foot-steps..She was having a vision..

This vision was of the trip that the family would take..

Alice did not know where they would go but as she could see from the vision..everyone was enjoying the trip..even Rose..as fast as the vision appared the vision left Alice's mind..

Everyone was looking at Alice as she came back to 'the human' world as she like to call it....

''I just had a vision about the trip and everyone is going to have a blast..

even Rose..who needs to have some fun..I don't know where the place is but I can say that there is alot of wild-game to hunt..I would love a fresh deer or maybe a elk..Oh! i can't make up my mind..but I know there will be alot for everyone.'' Alice said as she started to jump up and down

''So where should we go,this time?...Anyone have any ideas?..I think Em would love to see more of Canada but I'll have to ask the guys when they get back.'' Alice said as she stoped jumping.


Alice was very excited about this trip-first off all though the Cullen-familty did not sleep that did not mean that they could not have fun...staying up all night was nothing new to the family...

Alice wanted to share everything about the outdoors with Bella and Nessie..and since Bella had never been camping before this should be fun.

[Jasper Hale]

''Ah! it's good to be home.'' Jasper said as he and Emmett enterd the Cullen house...

Jasper could feel everyone's mood change as he walked in the door..

''Shh Em..I want to
suprise Alice..she did not know that i would be back this soon.'' He said as he tryed to be quite..

''Sure bro.''

Jasper went around the kitchen and to the back of the living-room...

so everyone could not see him or hear him..

He saw his wife talking to Bella and the rest of the family..He had missed hearing her voice..very much.

Jasper slowly walked behind the chair that Alice was sitting in and put his hands over her eyes..without saying a word he kissed her..

''Jazz!! Jazz!.'' Alice said as she turned around...

''I did not know that you would be back soo early!.''

''Well darlin...neither did I but me and Em made a quick trip to Canada to bag a few lions and some great deer..

We did not want to stay very long..because the humans were comeing into where we were hunting and we really had no choice but to leave that part of Canada but everything was beautiful..We even saw some baby animals....

But i did miss you,Alice.'' Jasper said as he kissed and huged his wife..


''Now what is this about a family trip?.'' Jasper asked as Alice made room for him in the chair..

''It was all my idea.'' Alice chamed in.

[Alice Cullen]

Alice watched the snow fall while Jasper was playing with Em and Edward on the x-box....

But while she watched the snow fall she had a brillant idea..

She jumped away from the window and went to find Bella..

''Bella! Bella! I just thought of the perfect place to travle to for the family trip!!...

How about we all go to Oragen?...I heard on TV that it's really pretty this time of year...

Plus that'll give me enough time to get some shoping in..

I know that Em thinks that I shop too much but I can't help it.'' Alice said as she smiled at Bella.


Alice knew that this trip is what the family needed to catch up with everyone was doing and other things...

She could hear the boys fight over who beat who..even Jasper was in on it...

Alice knew she would have to step in this time...She went into the room to see Em yelling at the top of his lungs..

''Boys! hey!! stop!'' she said as all the guys looked at her and stoped fighting.

[Renesmee Carlie Cullen]

Renesmee listened to her mom and aunt chat as she opened her eyes. She grinned widely at the quilt, it looked fantastic. The pictures looked so real, although Nessie could tell that they were sown in. Some of the pictures she remembered vividly, others she could tell had happened before she was born.

"I love it, Aunt Alice!" she exclaimed happily, "It's really pretty!"

She saw many pictures of Bella as a human. Some depicted the wedding, some with her and Edward just hanging out with the family. Nessie giggled at one where Aunt Rosalie was picking dog food out of her hair and Jakey was laughing. She wondered what had happened that had caused her aunt to be decorated with dog food.

A few pictures showed all of the vampires that had stayed with them before the Volturi came. They were all talking and laughing together, and everyone had a smile on their face in one of them. Another was Garrett staring up at Kate, grinning after she had shocked him.

There was one of Renesmee's first snow day. She had snow in her hair in that one. Another one showed the huge snowball fight that had started after Alice had thrown a snowball at Edward, but he had ducked and it hit Rosalie in the face. Renesmee had jumped behind a tree at that point and started pelting everyone within range with snowballs.

She was sent into a fit of giggles as Alice and Bella mentioned a sleep-over. It sounded like fun, although imagining energetic Alice trying to sleep was amusing.

As Alice mentioned her growing up, Nessie got quiet. She kinda missed being a baby too, although the feeling quickly passed as she thought of all the things she could do now that she was bigger. She could grab higher stuff now, although she rarely had too, since her family could reach them fine.

She grinned at the though of a hunting trip for the family. Camping out sounded fun, and if they were near a river or lake they could go swimming. She was a little thirsty anyway.

"When we go, can Jakey and the others come too?" she asked excitedly.

She smiled at Jasper as he slowly walked in, and tried not to give him away to Alice. When he was done surprising her, she gave him an enthusiastic wave.

After Alice suggested Oregon, Nessie thought about it and agreed. She had never been camping, or to Oregon, but she trusted her family's opinions.

Grinning, she heard Emmett, Edward, and Jasper fighting over in the other room. She found it funny that they seemed to argue about video games a lot.

(OOC: Wow, a really long post from me. Sorry about being gone so long, y'all, but my internet was down.)

[Alice Cullen]

(I love everyone's siggys! there soo cute)


As Alice heard her neice in the other room she came into the living room..

''Your welcome Nessie!! I think Jake will want to go with us..This trip will be for him too..It would not be no fun without Jake.'' Alice said as she huged Ness.


''I think Jasper is wanting to have some fun also...I should be able to shop there also..So it should be alot of fun for everyone.'' Alice said as she kept an eye on the snow.


''It's soo pretty! I don't think that i have ever really seen snow before..

since i don't remeber being human I don't remeber seeing snow then either.'' Alice said as she started danceing around the room.

[Renesmee Carlie Cullen]

(OOC: Thanks! I'm going to have to shorten my icon though, it's huge!)

Nessie smiled as Aunt Alice came in and told her that Jakey would probably be coming. She felt relieved, being with her family was fun in itself, but having at least one shifter there always seemed to brighten almost everyone's day and make things more exciting. She hugged Alice back, then looked back at the snow picture.

She listened to her aunt as Alice talked about seeing that snowfall, and how she couldn't remember seeing it as a human. Renesmee felt a little sad about that, even though she knew it had nothing to do with her. Trying to cheer up her aunt a little, she replied with, "That was my first snowfall, and I haven't seen very much snow either. I guess we both are kinda the same in that way!" She grinned widely, and reached out to give Alice another hug. She used her gift to send memories of the snow to her aunt, especially the snowball fight.

The snow felt really coldd against her pale skin, and she felt snowflakes land on her face and instantly melt. The world around her had turned into a white winter wonderland, and everything was a shimmering white. Nessie was currently building herself a snow fort, and it was looking pretty good with all three walls up to her waist.

She heard a loud "Hey!" from over the wall, and a splat. Peeking over the wall, she saw what had been everyone laughing and making snowmen turning into a flat out snowball war. Quickly ducking down behind the wall of snow, Nessie started making her own snowballs. Once she had a decent size pile, the child joined the war, laughing as Bella hit Emmett with a large and icy snowball.

[Alice Cullen]

As Nessie put her hands up to Alice's face..

Alice could see the images floating by from the memories of the snowball-fight that they all had..

It was rather nice for her neice to share such a wonderful time with her...If Alice could have cryed she would have.


''Oh! my little Ness! thank you soo much for shareing that with me..

You really don't know how much that means to me...I love you soo much!.''

Alice said as she huged Nessie as tight as she could but then let go

''Yes the snow is very pretty this time of year...It makes me think of christmas when it snows.'' She said takeing Nessie's hand in her hand.

Alice kissed Nessie's hand and winked at her ''We'll go shoping just me and you-I promise.''

[Jasper Hale]

Jasper saw his neicce and his wife Alice having a moment..He went to hug both of them...


''I love both of you girls.'' he said as he gave each of them a hug..


''Ness,we'll do something toghter sometime..

I promise.Let's see how about we roast marshmallows when we go camping...Does that sound like fun?'' He asked as he smiled at her.

[Isabella Marie Swan Cullen]

Bella smiled as Alice recounted her vision, she had never been on a hunting trip set out of state. It seemed like a lot of fun. She smiled slightly as Jasper walked up behind Alice and surprised her.

As Jasper joined in the conversation, Bella's smile turned into a grin. She just could not wait.

"Oregon sounds good," Bella said, answering Alice's question.

Bella laughed as Alice interrupted the boys fighting, it was unbelievable what they could get up to.

"Yes, sweetie, they can come," Bella answered Nessie's question. "I'm sure they'll enjoy it."

She watched as Nessie shared her thoughts with Alice, and laughed as Alice thanked Nessie.

"Roasting marshmallows sounds good," Bella smirked. "Though it's like any of us will only eat them, only you Ness and the pack."

She had to admit, even though she wouldn't be able to eat them, roasting marshmallows would be a lot of fun. It was just another experience for her to have.

Bella heard her husband chuckle. He came up beside her and wrapped his arms around her, and Bella grinned up at him.

"We'll all roast marshmallows." She listened to him say, and Bella nodded, that idea was a good one.

[Renesmee Carlie Cullen]

Nessie grinned happily, and hugged her aunt tightly. She was happy that she had made Aunt Alice happy. That memory had been really fun! She still remembered laughing really hard as she watched her family and threw snowballs at them. After Uncle Jasper came over and hugged them, Renesmee put her little arm around him too. If Aunt Alice wasn't in the hug, Nessie felt that she would be snapping pictures with her camera.

She felt excited about the outing Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper had suggested. Possibly two outings. Nessie grinned, that sounded like fun! She couldn't wait to go shopping with Aunt Alice, since she knew that's where her aunt would want to go. She thought a little, where would she go with Uncle Jasper?

After the little hybrid was out of the hug, Renesmee went back over to her parents and listened to the conversation. She was excited about the camping trip to Oregon. That sounded really fun. She'd never been there herself, but she'd heard about it. As with the marshmellows, she felt a little sad her family couldn't eat any of them, but at least she could share with Jakey. She'd never had marshmellows before either. Both sounded interesting, and marshmellows sounded tasty.

Hmm, marshmellows. It was a funny word. Marshmellows. Mar-shmel-lows. Ma-rsh-mel-lows. Marshmellows. She giggled a little to herself, then put her hand on Bella's leg to replay the memory, as well as her excitement about the trip.

[Isabella Marie Swan Cullen]

Bella smiled as she watched her family interact with each other, and thought back a little on the past. She remembered when Ness was just a little baby, her nudger, and when she and Edward got married. She also remembered when she was human, but her memories of Edward were the clearest.

She grinned to herself as the memories appeared one by one, and then chuckled as Nessie placed her hand on her leg. Bella knelt down to Nessie's height and said, "I'm excited too sweetie. I can't wait to actually go out of state."

At the sound of Edward's chuckle, she focused her attention from her daughter to her husband. He was smiling at the two of them. Oh how she loved the both of them. She'd do anything for them. Be anything for them. Her family. Oh yes, this was the way her life was supposed to play out, and she couldn't help but feel complete happiness at everything.

"Alice," Bella asked. "What do you think?" She was always curious for her sister's opinion. Alice was after all,the all seeing eye. People who saw the future. You never knew what to expect from them.

[Renesmee Carlie Cullen]

((OOC: Replying to Dreamer and Dakota's posts))

As Nessie waited for her aunt to answer her mom's question, she was surprised by a strange smell coming from just outside the room. Had Jakey come back yet? No, she didn't think so. She gasped as she saw the strange werewolf at the door.

Strangely enough, she only felt a little scared. It was probably because her family was around her, and she knew they'd protect her. Her eyes wide, she stared at the wolf, who was coming towards her. Was it holding a... a teddy bear?

By now it was right next to her. She guessed that it didn't want to hurt her or her family, or her dad would have stopped it already. By then Renesmee noticed the werewolf, or shape-shifter, was a she by her smell. She looked down curiously at the teddy bear, which the wolf was trying to nudge into her hands. Quietly, she opened her hands and let the wolf put the little bear onto them. Nessie let her hand brush the wolf's muzzle a little, just to send a thought of thanks and curiosity.

The hybrid watched as the werewolf went away, still a little stunned. She looked at the teddy bear. It looked mostly new, but she could tell that someone had spent a lot of time with it, most likely the wolf. She was grateful, but wondered why the wolf had walked into a house full of vampires to give her a teddy bear. Although, it was adorable. She gave it a hug, and whispered quietly, "I'm going to name you Snuffles."

[Alice Cullen]

[Jasper Hale]
