Every year we visit with our cousins that live in Arkansas. There house is white with a small pool in the back yard. Every year we will either go to their house or they will come down here to my house. If we go down there it will normally take us about a day or so to arrive at their house. There pool which is pretty small is about five foot deep at the highest. When I go to their house we sometimes go on long bike rides to places about two or three miles away from their house and ride back when were done.

I have about eight cousins six of which are girls the other two are boys I normally will just hang out with the guys while my sister hangs out with the girls. When we are down there we tend to find lots to do such as going on extended bike rides, playing monopoly, and playing chess on his laptop. When we are told to go outside we normally will climb up in trees outside his house and see how high we can get before we have to get down.

On the way there we normally just sit there playing my ds or something to pass the time. We normally will arrive there either late at night or early in the morning. Either way we will still stay there for about four or five days before making the trip back home to my house. We spend the fourth of July there blowing up fireworks that are pretty big and loud. At night we light off the bigger ones that are meant for night time. We like to light off the black cat brand fireworks rather than the normal brand because there louder.

So although we fun going to our cousins’ house every year it’s always nice when they come down to our house instead and spend the fourth of July down here rather than over there. Down here we normally spend our time playing pool or just playing video games in the living room while everyone else it off doing their own thing. When we get bored we choose to go outside and light off some fireworks. We mainly will either light off firecrackers or pop-bottle-rockets. When we visit them or they visit us every one tends to be happy and have a good time.
