fourth of July Extravaganza

I have not blogged for a while so here is what I have been doing.

My family went to Camp Berachah for the fourth of July. We did so many different things. One of my favorites was the go-carts. I drove my grandma around this big lap with tires around so you didn’t crash. But I did crash! We had to have my dad, Grandpa and the two ladies who were working there help us out. It was a little bit scary. I crashed because I looked over at my sister who was being driven by my cousin Colby. Overall, it was really fun.

Another part of my awesome trip to Camp Berachah was the big swing. You climbed up on a ladder wearing a harness and they hooked a rope on to me and they pulled me up higher and higher through the trees. I pulled the rope they told me to and the rope unlatched all by itself and I dropped! It was scary on the first swing but when I got used to it, I ended up being Peter Pan, batman and superman all at different times!

The bouncy toy was a big hit, as well. There were obstacle courses and a big bouncy house and lots and lots of slides. I went on my back, my stomach and regular lots and lots of times.

Sparklers were so fun. We did all kinds of shapes and letters. I spelled out my name. We each got to do 3 sparklers. There were also party poppers and pop-its.

We had a perfect view from my aunt Stephanie’s and Uncle Kurt’s fire pit of the fireworks. First there was just a little spark, and then BOOOM! This great explosion went everywhere. There were different colors always going off. The grand finale was the best. It had almost every kind of firework that I could imagine all at once. Fireworks are one of my favorite traditions.

All the fun things that we do on fourth of July are fun, but being with family is the very best!!!

The cross

This is my cross. I got it for cleaning the girls bathroom at the church because I was the only girl who could do it. There is a story behind it. It goes like this: Mr. Nick, the one who gave it to my Dad who gave it to me, saw someone who carried around a cross on their key chain. He asked them why he carried it around. There were two reasons. One, God loves us. Two, we should love God back. That is the story of the cross.
