"Tappan Lake Park" ﻿ By: Haley Kropka

My favorite place to be is Tappan Lake Park. It's a fun place to go during the summer to have fun.

Taking the pontoon out on the lake is one of the best things to do there. The warm sun feels good after a long winter. Music is always playing and everyone sings along. Once we get past the bay, the smooth breeze of the air in my hair and on my face is relazing. Soon, the boat stops and everyone jumps in the water making huge waves. It makes you wish winter will never come back.

The activities are another fun thing to do. Hayrides are fun to go on with friends. It's fun to wave and yell for people while riding slowly through each of the small campgrounds. The smell of the hay makes me want to sneeze. The big tractor is really loud and smells like gas. After I get off, my whole body is vibrating. Tappan also has dances called DJ's. Kids of all ages go to them. Alot of us play basketball most of the time. The Dj plays loud music that kids have fun dancing to.

Once it's time for curfew, everyone will hang out at a camper or a tent with their closest friends and family. We tell the funniest stories and talk about our days and what we have planned for the next day. While we're doing that, we roast marshmallows and hotdogs. By the time everyone is done having an amazing time, it's very late. Some people go back to their campers or just stay where they were at, with their family and friends.

I think if someone was looking for a good weekend, or an awesome summer, they should go to Tappan Lake!
