“On New Year’s Eve I went out on the ocean in my uncle’s boat. I saw the fireworks with my family and friends. There were about 15 of us and it was a lot of fun. We don’t go out into the water much as a family, except during the holidays. My cousin is a photographer so he took some great pictures of the fireworks. We had a bunch of French food because that’s where my family comes from. At one point some of my cousins jumped into the water as a joke and it took us a couple of minutes to find them”
