My Backyard

Home is my backyard in the cold winter, the wind blowing on my face while I'm playing 2v2. Me and my sister against my mom and my dad on the outdoor rink in the backyard our skates digging in to the frozen water, I can hear the ice crackling underneath my blades. If I'm being totally honest I've never seen someone as rusty as my dad is right now, my mom plays ringette so she is actually alright but my sister and I were still winning obviously! Home is my backyard in the warm humid summers as we jump in the underground pool and bounce on the trampoline, just swimming in my pool reminds me of when my family used to invite basically the whole neighbourhood for a pool party all the time in the summer splish, splash the sounds of my friends jumping in the pool. We also jump on the trampoline all the time, one time my sister my brother and I were all jumping on the trampoline and we were going in circles along the outside of the trampoline and my brother flipped off the trampoline and he looked like a fish when he fell off but don't worry he was laughing, we can't forget the smoking BBQs I don't think I've met someone better at cooking hotdogs than my dad! That's what I call home!
