Unforgettable Independence Day
Today was my first 4th of July celebration, and I’ll always remember it because it was so wonderful. The 4th of July is Independence Day in the US--- the anniversary of the day the United States became its own country in 1776.
I began the day by packing my swimming suit and a towel. Then I went with my host family to a supermarket to load up on food and drinks. After that we were off to a friends’ ranch out in the country for a barbecue and pool party.
It was all so amazing! While the adults cooked food on the barbecue, we played in the pool. Then we all ate and ate until we were completely stuffed. Our friends had some ice cream materials, so after lunch we all made homemade ice cream. Since the temperature outside was around 40 degrees, it seemed like the ice cream took forever ! Although it was tired, it was all worth it, because when we were finished it was the most fantastic ice cream I have ever eaten! Then, someone asked me if I would like to try horse riding. I was afraid at first, but they gave me a very gentle horse. It was so peaceful to ride the horse through the fields and forest. Finally, when it grew dark, we had a thrilling fireworks display.
Now I’m back home with my host family. Though I’m tired, I think this had to be the most exciting day of my life! I can’t wait for next year !
