The Meaning of Home

What home means to me. Home is my family and I swimming together in my pool with music and joy. Making smores in my backyard with the warm fire table keeping everyone warm. The love and happiness of watching a movie on my couch, nuzzled up in a cozy warm blanket. The delicious smell of popcorn being made with butter and salt. My brothers and I waiting patiently for every single little popcorn kernel to pop. And the last one to pop into our dad’s face as we laugh so hard, we have tears in our eyes. Playing ping pong in our basement competing to be the winner. Making memories like playing pool, singing karaoke, and having people over. My mom and I baking cookies, brownies, muffins, and cupcakes. The smell and taste of the warm delicious treats coming out of the oven. Having delicious home cooked family dinners with laughter and stories about our days. Playing video games with my brothers on the Nintendo Switch. We would play games together like Mario Cart, Super Mario Party, and Just Dance. Home is playing outside with neighbors and friends too. Playing games like hopscotch, riding scooters, doing gymnastics, making up our own dances. Going on bike rides with my family and friends. Going on walks with my friends, making videos and having fun. Playing sports such as soccer, road hockey, basketball, and football. Going to the park to play tennis, play baseball and go skating on the ice rink in the winter. Mostly home is not what I do in my home, but it is about the people with me. That is what makes my home a special home
