MOUNT CARMEL ELEMENTARY
I’m going to tell you about how I celebrate Independence Day. First, we fill the pool up with water. We invite my Nana and Poppy to the party and we grill some hamburgers. We get our swimming suits on and Natalie and I swim in the pool. We hang the flags on the fence. Last but not least we do about 20 fireworks. That is what we do on Independence Day.

My family celebrates Independence Day by going to my Uncle Ron’s house and shooting off fireworks. We also have a big cookout and play with our family and friends. Sometimes my cousins and I will sneak out snacks and spy on my brother. We have a really good time. It is a blessing to be able to get together and have so much fun!

Well my family celebrates Independence Day by going to Fancher’s campground which is at Douglas Lake. We cookout and we sometimes go on a boat at sunset. We go swimming and there’s usually a golf cart parade that I participate in. We watch fireworks over the lake and then we go back to the camper and hangout. Then we say goodbye to the people that are there and we leave after that. Sometimes we spend the night. That’s what we do for Independence Day.

My family and I gather around the campfire and grill out. We eat hamburgers, hot dogs, and chips. When it is night we gather around the campfire again and we roast marshmallows and make s’mores. That is what we did on Independence Day.

On Independence Day my family likes to go to Rock Hill with my family. We get to see the rest of the family like my granny and my papa and my cousin. We get to play on the Slip ‘N Slide. The adults cook the food and we call it family cookout and we eat hot dogs and hamburgers. My favorite part is a dance party where we get to pick the music. The last thing is FIREWORKS! That’s how my family spends Independence Day.

How do you celebrate 4th of July? I celebrate by eating hot dogs and hamburgers and for dessert we have watermelon, ice cream, and cake. After we eat we go watch fireworks in Mount Carmel. We have fun and we see our friends. Last year I saw my friends that went to my school. It was really fun to go to. I think you should go sometime! In conclusion, this is how I celebrate 4th of July or Independence Day!

Hi, my name is Autumn Smith. My family celebrates Independence Day by shooting off fireworks at my church. Last year’s Independence Day, we shot off fireworks at my neighbor’s house. Independence Day is all about being with your family and enjoying your day to spend with your family my uncle’s birthday is on Independence Day. We all celebrate with fireworks and cake, of course. This year’s Fourth of July I spend the night with my cousin Tanika. The next morning we went to Kingsport and watched fireworks. My Aunt Mary got lost. She was just a road away from us. My Aunt Mary and the boys got there at the finals. We all laughed, even my Aunt Michelle. We girls got to see all the fireworks. I said, “ha, ha boys.”
