Fire Works on Red Mountain
We woke up early today,couldn't keep us in bed if you glued us to the mattress.Today is the 4th of July, and we are so excited!My brother and I are going to Red Mountain for fire works.
Maddy is my eight(8)yr.old brother ,I'm eleven yrs.(11)old and we have so many fireworks.My brother and I will go over to our best friends house ,they're twins and nine and a half(9 1/2)
yrs. old.
"Maddy, are you almost ready"? Ellis and Ethan are waiting on us. We have to go over everything we will need for tonight. "Look Will don't rush me I'm going as fast as I can".
I'm sorry Maddy I didn't mean to rush you,I'm just so excited about today.I'm going to tell myself to chill and think how happy I'll be when it gets dark.We know where Dad put everything
so that wont' be a problem. "otay my brother I'm ready, let's go". "Maddy, why do you say otay
instead of okay"?"I don't know, I just like sayin it"."I know you got it from that tape we watched of Eddie Murphy, when he was acting like Buck Wheat from the back in the day,TV program Our Gang." "Whatever , I like sayin it, otay"."Can we go now"?!"Alright, come on".
We left the house without even eating breakfast.Our mom was just getting up, and dad had to make some last minute errands.We decided to get the fire works and go through them.When we looked in the closet we saw dad put them in, there was nothing there! We could not believe
our eyes. We immediately ran and asked our mom, if she had moved the fire works.Mom said"no,
I haven't even seen any fireworks let alone moved some".My brother and I decided we had a problem. Dad, now was the only person that would know where the fireworks were, and he wasn't at home.
We were going to have to let Ethan and Ellis know what happened.So we went to their house to tell them,and they explained the exact thing was happening in their house. The twins parents
were at home and neither one, of them could remember where they had put the fire works since they bought them in early June .We were really in a mess.Now to figure this situation out was
going to take some doing. Well, we felt the four of us could figure out before 9:00 p.m . That is one hour before the real Fireworks start on Red Mountain.
Red Mountain is inside the Town's largest park.It is so tall, once you reach the top , you feel like you can just reach out and put your hand in the sky and pull down a star. It is the most beautiful scenery to see. You see a billion stars and the sky is blue/black , it is truly amazing.Wherever
