On the Fourth of July, my family brought a picnic to the park. We spread out a giant blanket on the grass next to the lake. We t
alked and joked as we ate. My brother and I could hardly wait for the dusk to turn to darkness. It was the nicest of nights. A soft warm breeze blew across the
water of the lake. Suddenly, there was a flash and a boom in the sky. The rockets went up, one at a time. When they burst, they sent out rings of
color and sound. As I looked around, I saw the other people on the grass gazing up at the show with their mouths hanging open.
