Best Summer Yet.

I went to Michigan to visit my grandma and grandpa. My cousins also live near them, so they were there the whole time. Me and my brother go to my grandma's house, and then all four of the cousins come over and spend the night for all three weeks we're there. My cousins' names are Will, Devin, Jacqueline, and Dakota. Out of the four of them, I like Jacqueline the most. After that, though, come Will. Will is fifteen and he is nicer to me than my own brother. He stuck up for me at times when my brother didn't. Jonathan is only a few months older than Will, so Will is the second oldest. I'm the third, then Devin, Jacqueline, and then Dakota. We did something every weekend. One weekend, we went to a theme park/water park in Ohio called Geauga Lake. It was fun. I stayed mostly at the water park. Me and Devin did go to the amusement park later and ride ONE ride. I was like, "Devin, why did we walk all the way across this freaking bridge that's about a mile long, only to ride one flippin' ride?!!?" He told me that the other one he really wanted to go on was shut down, so he got bummed out and wanted to go back to the water park. We left about fifteen minutes after that. We rented a cabana. It was nice. Me, Jacqeline, and Will all fell asleep. Jonathan did eventually, but not before talking to his stupid girlfriend.
Another weekend, we went to my second cousin's birthday party. It wasn't all that much fun. My cousins and brother were flirting with these two sophomores name Amanda and Sasha. It was mainly Devin, which is not great. Devin is only thirteen, and the girls were fifteen. Ha ha.
Devin and I fight A LOT. We get into physical fights as well as verbal. I know I probably shouldn't because he is about forty times stronger than me, but it's fun. :D Usually it wouldn't last long, and we would end soon, but then there were a few times when it lasted pretty long. Sometimes Will would notice Devin being too harsh or something and tell him to lay off, which makes me like him better than Devin! When we do get in fist fights, I know Devin uses restraint because he doesn't hit me too hard. I know how strong he can be.
One time a year ago, Devin heard a kid making fun of Jacqueline, and he got defensive. Of course, he thought the kid was already annoying, so he had that going too. Devin hit the guy so hard that his eyes swelled ten sizes, no joke. It was black and blue and swollen shut. The stupid kid's mom called the cops. Luckily, they didn't do anything too harsh, they just made him apologize. I loved this summer a lot. I wouldn't have traded it for anything. And I already miss Will and Dev. Jacqueline is here with me because she came with my grandma. We have to help my mom out when she is done with her surgery.
