Childhood Memory

When I was about five years old, my family and some close family friends spent a week in the summer at a cabin. I remember it was around the time of the Fourth of July because we watched fireworks and made T-shirts. Every morning the mothers would cook breakfast for everyone and we would eat it out on the patio. After breakfast, us kids normally went down to the lake to swim and catch frogs. There were so many frogs down by the lake and I remember we collected so many that we put them in our bathtub and scared one of the moms! In the afternoon, we went out on the boat to go tubing and then later go fishing. I caught my first fish, a walleye, with the help of my father. At night, when it got dark out, we would catch fireflies and put them in a jar. Our parents would also give us sparklers to light up and play with. Sometimes I wish I was young again so I can have fun like that!
