School is coming to an end as the warm summertime is approaching.. The trees are blooming and the grass green. The sun beats down on me and I know that the dreadful school days will soon be over .

I love summertime it is by far my favorite season. Everyday is so stress free and you can be hang out with friends and not worry about getting your homework done. I love the sunsjhine and being able to cool of in the refreshing pool.

What I am looking forward to most this summer is the Livonia Spree. I love going there with my friends in the hot afternoons to ride rides and meet new people. Our favorite rides are the fireball, the water ride, and race down the big slides. At night time we go to the food area of the spree to watch shows and get some delicious carnival food. Candy apples, ice cream, elephant ears, freshly squeezed lemonade and pierogies. These are some of my favorite foods to get at the spree. My favoriite day of this festival is the spree fireworks on the last day, Sunday. Me and a bunch of my friends get there around 6 on sunday evening about 4 hours before the fireworks begin. We arrive early to get a good spot on the baseball field to watch the firework show. We set up our blankets and chairs, get snacks, play games then sit back and relaxe to watch the show.

Last summer I had to miss some of the spree because my soccer team went to regionals and it was hosted during most of the carnival. Although it had been worth it to miss the spree because my team had won regionals. We had been named the best team in the midwest region. We beat teams from all different states in this region, South Dakota, Kentucky Nebraska. In the semifinals we played a teram from Illinois called Eclipse. Thy were good and agressive but we won in the end 1-0. In the Finals we played carmal form Indiana. This was the hardes game i had ever played in they were athletic, so fast and skilled. Although we were all very nervous we were ready and defeated Carmel and were crowned regional champiions.
