Best things about being home for this 4th of July

I love going back to see my family in Michigan mostly because:

• I like picking black raspberries with my dad.
• It's fun to cook with my mum
• I get to hang out with my brother and sister
• I can sleep in  (not that I couldn't do that before but it seems different sleeping in at my family's house for some reason.)
• I get to play with my family's border collie named Dougal!
• I'm going kayaking with my mum and sister (tomorrow I'll post more about the experience!)
• On July 4th I'll watch fireworks with my family at the state capitol  and then get ice cream!
• I just plain like being home!
