This summer, I had the best birthday party of my life. I invited some of my best friends from school to spend two days and one night at the farm.

We played hide and seek at the bluff house, fished for hours, and boated on the pond, and shot guns with Grandpa. Then we cooled off by playing on the slip and slide in the field for awhile.

We continued to explore and fish and play while Grandpa and Mama fixed supper.

We ate a LOT of watermelon, along with fried turkey and french fries. We also each had one fried fish that we caught that afternoon.

Later, we had cake and traded baseball cards in the cabin kitchen. We watched a movie in the loft and the cabin and then fell asleep after a fun hot day.

The next morning, we had breakfast, then fished some more before heading home.

I hope I can do this again.
