Dear Diary,
I went to the beach with my family today. It's my
favourite holiday activity. What an exciting day!
We woke up early in the morning. Dad drove us to
Great View Beach. It's a very beautiful beach. The
water was clean and the sand was fine. We went
swimming in the sea. It was fun! We all felt very
happy.
At noon, we bought hot dogs, chicken wings and
soft drinks from the kiosk. They were yummy!
After lunch, I built a sandcastle with my brother.
We saw a colourful kite in the sky. We also saw
some beautiful birds.
The sun was about to set. Dad drove us home. I felt
so tired and fell asleep in the car.
