A Fun Day at the Beach

Sally loved to go to the beach. She enjoyed playing in the water and building sand castles.
She was excited because her family was planning a trip to the beach for the weekend. She
would look for pretty shells for her collection.
On Saturday morning she got up early and gathered the things she would need at the
beach. She found her swim suit, her big towel, her bucket and shovel. She could not find her
camera to take pictures.
Her younger brother, Tommy, was happy too. He liked to look for unusual rocks and sand
crabs. He liked to play in the water and watch the sailboats. He also loved to help his sister
make big sand castles. He hoped she would take a picture of the castle when they finished it.
Sally’s mother packed a lunch for them to eat at noon. Sally didn’t like eating at the beach
because she always got sand in her sandwich. She didn’t like to eat sand. Tommy loved to eat
anytime and anywhere, he was always hungry. Mother also remembered to bring the
sunscreen so they didn’t get sunburned. She looked in the closet for the large beach umbrella.
Their father got gas in the car and loaded all their things into the blue van. The beach was
not close to their house so they left early. It was a perfect day to spend at the beach. The
whole family had fun and they were very tired that evening when they got back home.
