the picnic

I wake up in the morning with my alarm blaring, like a siren telling me to wake up. Today was going to be a good day I thought as I packed all my bags to go to my cousin’s house. I showed up to their house around 2 in the afternoon; I was greeted at the door with two warm hugs from my cousins Haylee and Sid. I walked into their giant three story house,  sat on the couch and waited for them to get ready. Sid was the first one to be ready, half way down the stairs and I could already smell his cologne. It was so strong I started to cough. Finally Haylee came down the stairs. Sid, Haylee and I all piled into my aunt’s blue jeep.

                To drive to the park, my aunt had to take a different route due to a horrible accident on the road needed. But finally I showed up there, Haylee, Sid and I piled out of the car and on to the bright green grass. I could see the kids running around playing on the dark blue swing set. Looking over at the playground, I saw my little sister running to meet me. I gave her a big hug and walked her over to where Jason, my little brother, was sitting. My dad finally joined me a couple minutes later; he had brought soda, chips, and hotdogs for the small cookout. I could hear the sizzle and pop! of the charcoals burning as my dad started up the fire. While he was doing that, I helped Jillian, and Jason build a kite for them to fly.

In the beautiful spring evening, I watched as all my family had a great time.  All of a sudden bang! I look over and the grill had fallen over and the charcoals went everywhere. Jason’s toy car had hit the grill and made it fall over. Calmly, my dad went around and picked up all of the things that had fallen off the grill. Jason looked as if he has seen a ghost; he was so nervous and scared. My dad told him it was okay and gave him a big hug and a kiss, that’s when I knew this was a day to remember.
