Let me work through each sentence carefully, identifying and correcting the errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar.

Sentence 1: "my favorite time of year is july when my famly go's to visit my cousins"
- "my" should be capitalized → "My"
- "july" should be capitalized → "July"
- "famly" is misspelled → "family"
- "go's" is incorrect (apostrophe not needed for plural verb) → "goes"
- Need period at the end

Corrected: My favorite time of year is July when my family goes to visit my cousins.

Sentence 2: "last summer we stayed with them too weeks"
- "last" should be capitalized → "Last"
- "too" means "also" or "excessively" - should be "two" (the number)
- Need period at the end

Corrected: Last summer we stayed with them two weeks.

Sentence 3: "we was playing in the back yard wen it feeled like it was raining"
- "we" should be capitalized → "We"
- "was" is wrong subject-verb agreement (we = plural, need "were") → "were"
- "back yard" can be one word or two - both acceptable, but "backyard" is more common
- "wen" is misspelled → "when"
- "feeled" is incorrect past tense of "feel" → "felt"
- Need period at the end

Corrected: We were playing in the backyard when it felt like it was raining.

Sentence 4: "i turned around and see that my uncle grant had turned on the sprinklers to get us wet!"
- "i" should be capitalized → "I"
- "see" should be past tense to match "turned" → "saw"
- "grant" is a proper name, should be capitalized → "Grant"
- The exclamation mark is fine

Corrected: I turned around and saw that my Uncle Grant had turned on the sprinklers to get us wet!

Sentence 5: "my little cousin Mary and me played in the sprinklers all afternoon"
- "my" should be capitalized → "My"
- "me" is incorrect - should be "I" (subject pronoun, not object) → "I"
- Test: "Mary and I played" sounds right; "Mary and me played" sounds wrong
- Need period at the end

Corrected: My little cousin Mary and I played in the sprinklers all afternoon.

Sentence 6: "i even got my uncle grant wet with the hose"
- "i" should be capitalized → "I"
- "uncle grant" - "Grant" should be capitalized as it's a proper name
- When using a title with a name, capitalize the title too → "Uncle Grant"
- Need period at the end

Corrected: I even got my Uncle Grant wet with the hose.

Sentence 7: "it was one of the best days of the hole year"
- "it" should be capitalized → "It"
- "hole" is misspelled - should be "whole" (meaning entire)
- Need period at the end

Corrected: It was one of the best days of the whole year.
