4th Of July Wonder
Smash! It felt like my ribs were breaking and my organs were popping out with a crushing force. Ha I wish that was happening, it was my sister special way of waking people up which envailed my ribs being use as a tranooplen. She kept on shouting wake up wake up don’t die on me! I her pushed and yelled don’t use my ribs tranooplen Santana.
Then she said, look we're here.
Then I peered out in the window.
Finally I said after 2 hours in a car we were finally here at torch lake the crystal clear water lake, the waves look like gemstones dancing across the water beautiful. The view made me think like the stars were dancing on the of the water surface. The sun rising reflecting all that wonders.
Get the equipment ready were seating up the tent, said my Dad. Get the supplies out and put them in order.
Were camping out in the backyard of one of my dad's closest friends, parent house. With 5 arace of land fun right, but not for me. My family excited especially since my uncle is coming up he was my coolest uncle my light in the darkness. Always give me money can talk to chill cool give me good advice. He's not coming soon it’s still going to be a while. But now, it’s was the heat, bugs, and my dad’s friend little daughter she too loud and annoying. While setting up the tent the heat rained down bugs swarming the two most things that I hate. My parents all know i'm a winter person the heat I just can’t stand it. An soon it’s was done we put our sleeping mastureses in the tent because we aren't people that sleeping on the ground. I pulled out my phone, ipod, and my Ds I don’t play my Ds ever at home only in emergencies like this. My dad want to have some entertainment so he let me bring my stuff with us.
Get out and say hi to everyone don’t be a jerk, said my mom. Make sure to say thank you and don’t fool around.
My mom don’t know this but I hate catching up with grown ups. It’s always the same thing. God look how big you grown look at your hair.
So I said hi and the most annoying conversation begins. Then after the year of catching up I went to my tent to be on my phone. Then in there the whole day was the hottest longest day of my life. After what felt like years it was lunch time. The only good thing about this vacation was grilled food my dad’s world best hamburgers and steaks.
Biz get over here this is the kids table,said Santana. Wipe off that mad grin you party pooper you can go back to your music later.
When she said that I gave her, what she called my annoyed face. But she not smart sometimes I put my phone in my pocket have one of my headphone go underneath my shirt throw my arm. So when it look like I resting my head my my arm. The whole time during dinner Anderson their daughter kept talking and talking I keep listening to my music. After years I learned a way to listen to music at the table. After lunch I was getting ready to go to the lake. It was pretty cool boat, refreshing water everywhere you see. After the packing my uncle Laron arrived of course after all the work was done.
Hey Bizo said my uncle Laron. I look back and say my uncle Laron walk towards him and he gave me a hug. Because he lived in chicago so we don’t to see him that often.
Ha look man your almost to me. Give me 3 more years see what happens taller than one old timers, got these rock hard hand. He ask how I was in ten second conversation to explained my year apart, that's how I like it.
Everyone get the stuff pack we are heading to the water,said Dad.
We left for the launching ramp to drop the pontoon we rented. As we drove the boat the the ramp.
As we were trying to bring our boat to the water of course my dad takes over. Come on Jason a little more there drop it, said my dad. Biz, Santana, Neen unhook all of the safety hooks.
There were around 20 hooks so it took a minute,said me.It was close I almost kept on falling off it was terrible. Ok now drop it, great now everyone get up don’t fall. After finally getting the boat in the water. I like the water especially on a hot day like this. We had two boats one with my family and uncle Laron and the other was Jason and Cortney and there little monster. My dad who was driving the boat headed to the sandbar where all the party is at. But my overprotective momer won’t let me go off with my dad and uncle buzzkill if you ask me. Landoo where here drop the actor, said my dad while laughing. Ok crack the cooler and the pizza. Ok guessed I have nothing to do am going to go look around, said me with a smirk on my face.
Don’t you take on more step, said my mom angrily.
Come on let the boy be free let him spread his wings be with the men, said my uncle Laron.
Ha listen to the man I know guys up here, said me. You might go somewhere I don’t like,said my mom.
You mean the college kids party chill we won’t look in that direction most likely, said me. After a while we went back and forth then my dad got back and convince my mom to off for a while. After a couple of minutes I got to look with my dad and uncle around talk to some people and had a great time. The coolest thing was the Dj there multiple DJs everywhere so we found some cool ones and stuck there.I want to spend sometime with my uncle I don’t get. I was having fun with my dad and uncle why do I feel bad. Then I realize I got to stop being a downer or I won’t have fun I have to. I saw so many family playing and ask my dad to go back and he said sure.Also at least I got to spend some time with my uncle Laron. After that we went back to the boat ate some pizza and had a great time. When it started to get dark we left, but I won’t forget the fun we had. My dad said garb the anchor and pulled it back up to the ship. When we went back to our campsites. We took a small hike up the hill then say the awesome fireworks. The coolest thing that they light up the sky.
That was so cool, wait are there any more, said Santana. Right after the fireworks it was time to go, said mom.
Ok time to go home, said my mom. Fine then, I said. After that we packed up then said our goodbyes to everyone. I said that was really fun, hope we can come back next year.
Of course we will, said my mom and dad.
We packed everything then after we were done we said of final goodbyes got in the car and headed home. We all thought we have to come back next year.
