Concrete Experience Every year in August, my family organizes picnics for everyone to meet and reminisce about the good times. I saw this picnic as a way for us to interconnect once again and appreciate our lives together. What I loved most was how my sister and I were often allowed to make water balloons and throw them at my uncles when they were distracted. As we grew older, the water balloon fights disseminated and our conversations grew richer. I knew from a very early age that my sister…
