We are having a BBQ! Family decorations and fun pictures show togetherness all across the yard. There are plenty of songs to dance to. We can dance all night if we want. It’s lots of laughter seeing the elders showing their moves on the dance floor.
We sit down to share some juicy ribs, hamburgers and hotdogs. My cousin fried some fish and everybody got up and raced in line for it. That line was long, circling around the yard. Some of us started sharing recipes for good food to try. When our stomachs settled, we played basketball and ran back and forth, hitting twos and threes behind the three point line.
For a refresher, there was some large sweet watermelon that was dripping juice everywhere. It was the best. Somebody’s friend baked some chocolate chip cookies for us. They were nice, chunky and melted in your mouth good. Then we danced a few more times to the gospel and Motown mix. Then we watched a colorful water show that had all kinds of animals in different regions moving inside the water. While we were watching the adventure story in the water, we ate some ice cream. Then we kissed, hugged and said see you next time. They went home. We had great fun at the BBQ.
