A Day At The Beach

I packed my mini beach bag, had breakfast, got

dressed in a skimpy red jumper and out the door

I dashed. Skipping along the dusty path that led

towards the main road, I began thinking of how

excited I felt as it was the beginning of our
summer vacation; no more school work for a bit

and just the freedom to do whatever I wanted.

The next few weeks were all mine.

Within twenty minutes, eager eyes glowed as we
met at the beach. A head count was made and we

stayed in close proximity to where my older

brother was, so that he could easily see us. I was

the first to get changed into my colourful two

piece beach wear and headed straight into the
shimmering blue seawater. “Ouch!” “This is as

cold as ice!” Even though the sun was so hot the

water was not welcoming at all.

Moments later, we were having a great time, as

we ran in and out of the water, splashing and
trying to duck one another playfully, our bodies

having gotten used to the temperature.
