My family and me – by Lukas

Week #8 Challenge

Let me tell you a little about my family. I live with my mom, dad and my sister Reilly in New York. My dad’s name is Dale and he is an executive producer of TV commercials. He LOVES TV, of course!  One of his other hobbies is basketball, so we love playing hoops in the summer and watching basketball on TV. My mom, Debbie is a full-time mom, but she is also studying for her masters degree. It is great to have my mom home everyday. My sister Reilly is 14, well she will be 14 in two days and she is in 8th Grade at PDS as well. She loves art and voice – I hope she puts those vocals to good use some day as she ALWAYS sings!

My extended family all live in Barbados. My grandparents own their own business, but they don’t have any hobbies, that I know of.  I have three uncles, two aunts and six cousins. My oldest cousin, Chance, who is way too cool, lives in Florida. He is sixteen and in 10th Grade. He lives on Facebook, but we love spending the summers together in Barbados.

Every summer and Christmas we all come together in Barbados. We enjoy going to the beach, surfing, swimming and sailing on the catamaran.  We have taken many vacations together as a family.  We have gone to California, Hawaii and Niagara Falls.

Next week is Thanksgiving. Every Thanksgiving my cousins visit from Virginia. It is a fun time. We stay up most of the night chatting, watching TV and playing Xbox. My cousin, Hunter is younger than me but we love playing the Wii together.
