Summer Back Home

Summer is my favorite time of year. I thrive in warm weather and love being outside to enjoy it. Summers in Georgia are hot, so I spend most of my days at the pool or lake with friends and family. Summer weather in Georgia is normally between 90 to 100 degrees everyday, so the lake is always a nice way to cool off. The lake is full of years of summer memories for me, from fourth of July parties, sunset cruises, late night bonfires, and so much more. I practically live at the lake during the summer. My friends and I love boating, tanning, floating in the water, and so much more. One of my favorite parts of summer is our fourth of July party. Every year, we host a party at the lake on the 4th and all of our friends, family, and neighbors come over. We grill burgers, listen to music, swim in the lake, and enjoy each other’s company. This is always my favorite day of the year. Everyone is so happy and having a good time. Another tradition I love during the summer is most Sundays we go out for a sunset cruise, before dinner. My mom makes appetizers and drinks for the boat ride. We drive around the lake watching the sunset, and talking about our weeks. The lake is a place that will always hold a special place in my heart, and there are many traditions that I hope continue within my family forever.
