My Favorite time of the year

My assignment today was to tell a story about my favorite time of year. I’m not sure, I don’t really have a favorite time of the year, around in summer it’s super hot and I don’t feel like doing much, just staying inside where it’s cool. Now don’t get me wrong I love going outside but it’s so hot. I hate swimming, true be told I can’t swim. But I’m weird in a way that I think there’s something in the water or I’m just scared of drowning. I’m only scared of drowning when it comes to a pool when it comes to the beach. I’m scared of jellyfish and sharks. 

I don’t care if there have been no attacks at the beach, I’m not going in! I remember one time when my mom made me stand close to the water and rolled over my feet. I was fine until a piece of seaweed had touched my foot. I screamed and ran away from the water thinking it was something else. I was only in kindergarten then, but still I’ve never really liked the beach after that. Well I’m not sure if I don’t like the beach I’ve never been back. I’m more of a land girl, not a water and an island girl. I do like the summer though, because the days are longer that way I can do multiple things as in, playing outside, then when it’s getting too hot I can go inside and read, once I’m cooled off I start to get restless, so then I go back outside.

I like October when it’s just starting to get cold but it’s still pretty hot during the day. I really like it because then we have our big family reunion, I have so much fun with all of my cousins. We usually get together on the second weekend of October. Which is right after my birthday. October 17th. I’m not much of a runner which is all my little cousins like to do. They’re not super little as in toddler little, but they’re little to me. They love to run but I don’t like to run because I don’t know why I don’t like to run. I just don’t unless the weather is cool and crisp then I can run for a while. I’m more of a walker. I can walk so fast that my cousins  sometimes have to jog to keep up. So what I’m trying to say here is that I don’t really have a favorite time of the year, I like the summer, I Like fall, I like Winter, I like them all because each one I’m doing something different. 

For example, in the Fall (in the first week of October) we have our county fair. In the summer, (I’m not doing this in order but the way) I put the sprinkler under the trampoline. In autumn we are getting ready for the fair, gathering our cattle and getting ready to sell them. In Winter only it snows at least once (That’s the sad thing about New Mexico it doesn’t snow that much), so when it does, I make sure that I take pictures and gather some snow to make snow cream. Only this year it snowed in the third week of October.
