Bethany Beach-Personal Narrative

It all starts with the crack of a firework and the sizzle as the sparks slowly drift back to earth. In the distance you can hear the crying of little kids, terrified of the booming sounds, along with the "oohs" and "ahs" of the people in the little town enjoying the fireworks show. Proceeding the thirty minute show, families file up the beach stairs to return to the comfort of their own beds. In the morning they will participate in the yearly parade. Early in the morning children and their parents gather in the parking lot of the community house to decorate their bikes and scooters in red,white, and blue. One hour later they take off for the long ride. Spectators wave and cheer as the kids ride by. If you listen closely you can

There's nothing better than being with your best friends for the entire summer. People ask us if we are ever homesick and the answer is always "no". The reasoning for that is because, how could we be homesick if we are at home? I feel more at home in Bethany Beach than I ever had in Arlington Heights. Over the entire summer we had actives and bible studies. One activity is a little game called Sadie Hawkins. Just about every girl in the youth program in Bethany and almost every guy in the Bethany youth program participate. The girls draw a name of one of the guys and that is who they will have to chase for the 24 hours preceding the drawing. Once everyone is caught we set up a beautiful dessert on the beach. The sunset was orange and purple that night. The bonfire crackled as we sang songs around it, into the late hours of the night. Tiki torches lit up the area with the food. I received the name of Andrew Bland. He is one of those people who make you feel really happy and can slap a smile on your face in the matter of minutes. His energy could fill up a room the size of the White House. " quote from Andrew" breathed

This game is the same as Sadie Hawkins p, just the guys chase the girls. One of my best friends, Michael Pitts, picked me to chase. The story is actually quite funny. It was after 6pm (the game ends at 8pm) and I was relaxing in the Community house when the door flies open so I bolt out of there. My legs we're moving faster than they ever had before as I was running down the hill that leaded to the park. Finally he caught up to me, I slipped on some dirt, and he received my flag. Instead of having a desert on the beach after Wells Fargo, we have a banquet. This year the basques hall was decorated with vibrating yellow sunflowers and deep purple Delphinium. As I previously stated Michael Pitts chased me. He is tall with brown hair and a smile that can light up the room. " quote from Michael" Michael
