One of the super things about summer is celebrating the 4th of July! This year, Danny is having a party and invited all of us over! There's gonna be food, music, and Danny's mom bought a Slip 'N' Slide for us to cool off with. A Slip 'N' Slide is a huge piece of yellow plastic with little holes in it, and a connector for a garden hose. When you lay out the plastic and hook the hose up, water shoots all over it, and you can run and slide all the way across! I wish I could do it, only I'm just getting over a cold, and Mom won't let me, darn it! Anyway, when I got to Danny's house, he said he had a surprise for all of us.
I walked out to his backyard, and I saw....Susan and Raychel!
Far out! It turns out that they're gonna spend the whole summer here in Springfield! Raychel's staying with her auntie, and Susan with her grandparents. YIPPEE! We are gonna have such a groovy time!
Danny's mom had all kinds of goodies out, and a tape player with some dynamite Beach Boys songs. I love the Beach boys!
It was a great party! Everyone was walking around, talking, eating and dancing. Danny's dog, Muttley was running around, barking and trying to beg food from all of us! (Hahaha!) I was glad some of the other girls didn't wear swimsuits either. At least I wasn't gonna feel left out.
After awhile, Danny took everyone who had swimsuits out to the front lawn where his dad had set up the Slip 'N' Slide. Mr. Campbell took some pictures, and man were they funny!
There's Danny, showing off. What a ham!
There goes Stephanie!
Look out Raychel! Here come the others!
I was laughing so hard my sides hurt! I know I'll get another chance this summer to play on Danny's Slip 'N' Slide, so it was fun just to watch. After everyone dried off, Mrs. Campbell gave all of us sparklers!
It was the best 4th of July party ever! Do people in the future still celebrate Independence Day? It would be a shame to miss a good time like this! So future readers that's all for now. Happy 4th!
Until next time,
Your friend,

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you didn't get to see your cousins. But the summer isn't over yet! Maybe you'll get to see them later on this summer.
DeleteI love what Danny's wearing and oh what fond memories of the SLIP n SLIDE game!!! Yay! Loved this party!!!!
ReplyDeleteDanny's grandma sent him that Superman shirt and swim trunks set. He loves it. Since Superman stands for "truth, justice, and the American way", Danny said it was perfect to wear on the 4th of July!
DeleteSo cute! The Beach Boys - haven't heard that name in a while! My mom loves them, and they are actually really good!
ReplyDeleteGroovy! My mom loves them too!
DeleteI love playing on the slip and slide!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I can't wait 'til I get my turn this summer!
DeleteFun! Looks like it was a fun party! Me, my mom, and my little sister (Ivy) went to visit mom's grandma for the fourth. There were HUGE fireworks there! And at the end they lit big barrels of TNT on fire! It was awesome! Check out moms blog!
