4th of July

This year for the fourth of July celebration, my parents and I went to a friend’s cabin in Alstead, New Hampshire. Our friend’s cabin is on the Eastern shore of Lake Warren. We have gone to their cabin for the fourth of July for the past three years. On the lake they have a metal slide on a wooden raft. Every year I go there I always go swimming.
The water is always very cold, but everyone still goes swimming because it’s there. After swimming they then have a barbeque for lunch. They normally have burgers, hotdogs, pulled pork, beans, and salad. When everyone is eating they play some music on the stereo from an IPod. During lunch everyone talks to friends and has a good time with each other.
Then, after it starts to get dark everyone watches the fireworks. There is no telling how the fireworks are going to be until it happens. This is because it is not an official firework show for the town. It is just the families around the lake setting off the fireworks that they brought to the lake. The last two years have not been very good with the fireworks. But this year the fireworks were the best that I had ever seen there.
This year it seems that this Fourth of July was the coldest one I have ever seen. The wind was blowing from the lake and it made it feel even colder. Even the swimming was colder than usual. I always enjoy going to our friend’s cabin for their annual Fourth of July celebration.
