Blog 10


One holiday that is a tradition in my family is Fourth Of July. Every year as much of my family(usually a more then half) go up to our cabin in Wisconsin. I usually don't see my aunts except for this occasion because they live out of state, or my cousins because they are at college all year. So to be able to spend three days with them is really fun. We have so much fun up there. We have a tennis doubles tournament, and a ping-pong doubles tournament as well. We go tubing, water-skiing and fishing. On the fourth of July, we get up and decorate the boat, then there is a boat parade around our whole lake, most of the cabins participate. After we have a parade with the people on our street and someone hosts a party right after the parade. After eating our fill of all of the delicious foods everyone has brought we adjourn to our cabins. Then as it becomes dark we go outside and watch the fireworks, they last a long time and are always beautiful. The next day our family gets together one last time and makes homemade ice cream. Then we leave one family at a time, looking forward to the next Fourth of July when we will be together once again.
