Composition Training with mum - P2 Beach Outing

Family Beach Outing

It was a lovely day. The sun was playing peek-a-boo with the clouds. Dad decided to go to the beach because it was my tenth birthday. Mum, my sister, Risa, and I started packing the food, the swimming costumes and the mat. Then, we loaded them into the boot and drove to our destination. Excitement bubbled inside me as I looked forward to the swim.

At the beach, it was very crowded with families. They were sun-bathing, swimming or building sandcastles. Luckily, there was one last place left for us which was under a shady tree. We eagerly changed into our swimming costumes, took our floats and goggles and ran to the embrace of white, lapping waves.

Dad joined us in the swim. Wearing our goggles, we played water-splashing competition in the sea. Risa and I 'attacked' our dad furiously and he was the loser of the game. We were really having a whale of a time and my skin turned chocolate brown under the scorching sun.

After playing, we were hungry and tired. Mum told us to have our lunch. I could not wait to eat the delicious food and gassy lemonade. We came out of the cold water, plonked down and ate our fills. Once we finished our meal, we sang some songs and listened to music.

Soon, the sun was going down the horizon. We decided to go home. I felt very glad to have this bonding time with my family. I really looked forward to the next trip.
