A Day at the Beach
Hello friends! Today, I want to tell you about a fun day at the beach.
My family and I packed a picnic basket with cakes, fruits and cool
drinks. We drove to the beach with our car, and the sun was shining
brightly. The sand felt warm under our feet.
We spread out a big colourful blanket and enjoyed our picnic. I made a
sandcastle with a bucket and shovel. My sister and I played catch with
a beach ball, and the waves crashed on the shore. The sea breeze was
refreshing.
Later, we went for a swim in the ocean. The water was cool, and we
splashed around laughing. I found seashells and build a good
collection. As the sun set, we gathered our things and headed home,
tired but very happy. What a fantastic day at the beach!
