Read the paragraph below. Then use it to answer the following question.
Going to Grandma's house was always a highlight of summer. We would go on the Fourth of July, when summer was at its hottest. Sitting on the front porch waiting for the sky to darken over the fields, we swatted at mosquitoes biting at our arms and legs, and slapped at gnats flying around our heads. I sat on the swing next to Grandma. Beyond the porch, smaller cousins zoomed through the grass, screeching and playing, running and tagging one another. Spreading out over their heads, the sky was the color of summer fire as the sun sank over the western corn field. I will never forget those moments of mixed anticipation and contentment.
