My Last Summer

Last summer, I went swimming at the beach with my father. I swam a lot in the ocean, and made a sandcastle. We had a small boat that only we could fit in. My father drove the boat very far into the ocean. I played and slept on the boat.

We stayed at a hotel near the beach. The hotel was pretty. The beach was very muddy and there were many people.

My favorite activity was the barbeque we held on the beach. I liked it a lot. It was delicious.

At the hotel, I played with my brother in my room, and later I had to do my math homework. At night, my brother played music and I danced.

One day, when I took my bath, the faucet broke and water went everywhere.

It was an adventurous summer vacation. I enjoyed it very much.
