We went to Grand Haven and Grand Rapids, Michigan to see our friends for the 4th of July weekend. We drove from New York to New Jersey to Pennsylvania to Ohio to Michigan. We saw Courtney (Mom and Dad's friend from college), Matt (Courtney's husband), Sophia, Anais, and Isla (Matt and Courtney's daughters), and Frank and Sherrie (Courtney's mom and dad).
We got to Michigan on the afternoon of July 4. That day, we went to MVP swimming pool and I really liked going down the water slides. That night, since it was July 4, we went to the lake to watch fireworks. I liked the fireworks because they were very colorful and very cool.
On Friday, we went to the beach and I liked playing in the water with everybody. I liked eating chips, pretzels, apple sauce, and juice.
On Saturday, we drove to downtown Grand Haven to have lunch and to walk around. We went to the toy store and played 10 Days in the USA, a board game that you have to make a ten-day journey around the United States walking, driving, or flying. My dad, two boys, and I played the game and one of the boys won. We liked it so much, we bought it! (Note: we bought it in the toy store, but now we see that it was much cheaper on Amazon). When we got back to the house, we played three rounds of 10 Days in the USA with Frank, Sherrie, Courtney, Matt, dad, and me. I won two rounds, and dad won one. After the games, we left to start our drive back to New York.
I thought the trip was enjoyable because because we saw a lot of different fun things, spent time with good friends, and learned a lot about Michigan.
