"Last Saturday it was a big day here in the USA; it was the 4th of July, the day when American people celebrate their independence from the British empire. All the family came to our house and we had a big BBQ. During the afternoon we shot fireworks (this is something they really love) and after we went to see a very cool fireworks display at a lake near our house... Dani"
"On the 4th of July, we went with our host family to Orlando at one of their daughter's house and there we spent the whole evening canoeing, jet skiing, paddle surfing, going on a boat and swimming in both the lake and the pool. At night we were able to have a family meal, but first they read a part of the Independence Declaration. As a dessert, we had an American flag cake that we previously baked and we ended our day enjoying our own fireworks from the top of the pier's roof. For us, it was a pleasure to be part of such an important event, and it's an experience that we'll never forget... Maria & Anna"
"My 4th of July was great!!! Firstly, a friend came to our house and we went to buy fireworks for the night. Then, we had lunch with him and the men of the family; it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Later that day, we went to that friend's house and lighted all the fireworks. They were very expensive but they were totally worth it the price. Like my birthday had been on the 1st of July, and we still were on what the family called "the birthweek", we celebrated it and had a delicious chocolate cake and had a crazy night... Albert"
"On the 4th of July, my host family took me to Omni Resort in Orlando to spend the big day around there. They rented a cabin and we spent all day in the pool chilling out and swimming. Their granddaughter Hailey, came in the afternoon and then, at night, we were supposed to watch the fireworks but as it was raining, they were postponed and we saw them the next day. We had a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the experience... Irene"
