Summer Fun

I had a lot of fun on my Summer Vacation. My family and I went to lots of fun places and did great things.
I went to the beach with my family. We made sand castles and watched the waves roll in and destroy them. I helped my little brother learn to run in the foamy shallow water along the sand. He screamed happily every time the cold water touched his toes.

On one day we went to Knott’s Berry Farm. We went on lots of rides. My favorite ride was Silver Bullet. It went really fast and turned upside down three times. I could hear coins falling to the ground. When I saw the photo of us after the ride, my hair was all messed up!

My grandma came all the way from Mexico to visit. I had not seen her since I was baby. She was so nice to me. She always read to me at bedtime and tucked me in every night. My grandma stayed up all Saturday night so we could have her delicious tamales for breakfast on Sunday morning.

I’m glad I’m back at school. I have a great teacher and I get to play with my friends every day. I also have wonderful memories of my summer with my family.
