Family Weekend Fun
Last weekend, my family had a great time together. On Saturday morning, we woke up early and
packed our bags. While Dad was checking the car, Mom was making sandwiches for our picnic. My little
brother and I were playing with our dog in the yard. The sun was shining, and we all felt excited about
the trip.
We drove to the lake and found a nice spot under a big tree. While we were eating, some ducks
came close to our blanket. My brother laughed and gave them some bread. After lunch, we went
swimming. While I was splashing in the water, Mom was taking pictures with her phone.
In the evening, we returned home and watched a movie together. While the movie was playing, Dad
fell asleep on the couch! We all had a wonderful day and promised to do it again next weekend.
