My cousin and my lake

Summer. Just think. It’s Magical…….. 

Summer is my favorite time of year. I love the smell of the beach. The taste of saltwater. It’s actually quite good. My favorite memory one summer, reminded me. I am lucky. For two reasons. One, having a lake house. Two, Having a cousin. The best cousin ever. EVER…..

Every summer we go up to my lake house with my cousins. four girls and me. and the wonderful (I say this sarcastically) Jason. He doesn’t suffer. Much. Well, My oldest cousin Nicole and I are AlWAYS somewhere in the water. We do stop and eat lunch. Because we need it. We  made our own club on a huge rock near our dock. My dad went to the same lake house. It feels weird to think that he saw the same rock and how much the lake has changed. There are more houses. However, you can tell which houses were built in the past. There are small houses wich I thinks suits the lake. Sadly, last year they took out a bunch of trees and put in a mansion. Huge, Blue, and ugly. I like my small lake house in a little cove and a beautiful view. It is very peaceful. Sometimes in the morning My dad and I go out to the dock and watch the sunrise.You can sit there and just think. About anything

Sometimes we have camp outs and bonfires. It’s always so beautiful to see the sun go down. It’s like a big yellow blur fading away. Letting the moon take it’s place. However, It doesn’t last long. After our moment of silence we roast marshmallows. My cousin and I would make pretend fires out of flowers. Up to this day we still do it. Nonetheless do I still wish we could actually roast marshmallows over it. Still, We feel proud that we made a pretend fire. 

STICK RACES:  When my cousin comes we stick race. I always win. Her excuse is “it was the wind’. pfffffff. It IS hard. Considering we have sooo many turns and bends in the brook. So sticks get stuck really easily. WELL, at least we are not crazy people who throw sticks in the lake and expect them to blow up like these people.http://youtu.be/C-VBGo-TZIQ They got their wish!

SWIMMING: I also love swimming and floating on tubes. My cousin and I will usually take a tube out called Big Bertha and float around. Anchor our selves. And sit. It’s Peaceful. Most of the time we are relaxed. Except when we start to tip. My cousin and I made a plan to save our money for a float. A big one. That holds up to three people. One problem. Where am I going to find 200$. Poor me.  

FISHING:  Our absolute FAVORITE thing to do is fish. We love fishing. I do the stick and the worm part. Because my cousin has a freak attack if she touches a worm. We just sit there, fish. I do agree that you have to be patient (i am not). One thing stinks though. There are a bunch of sucker fish that no matter what you put in front of them, NO MATTER WHAT. They sit there. Sadly, we don’t have a net long enough to get them. 

I want a long net.  

I can’t wait till summer. 150 days to go.
