Our holidays by the lake
Last weekend, Daisy and I went to our grandparents’ house. On Saturday morning, we walked to the lake. There are lots of fish in the lake and Grandpa caught ten for our lunch. After lunch, Grandma sat outside on the grass and Grandpa went to sleep on his bed. She said to us, ‘Why don’t you and Daisy go sailing now?’ ‘OK,’ we said. ‘Good idea, Grandma!’ And we did.
