Summer holidays are the longest holidays. I like them very much! I have a lot of time for myself. I spend most time outdoors.
In June I went to the seaside with my parents. The water in the Black Sea was very warm. We swam in the sea and sunbathed on the beach. There were different kinds of entertainments there. We also played volleyball on the beach and made castles of sand. On hot days we walked in the park. It was very beautiful there.
Then I spent two weeks in the summer camp. I made a lot of new friends. Every day we enjoyed something special - games, competitions, performances.
There was no river, but there was a swimming pool where we could swim. We had discos every night. It was a real fun.
In August I visited my grandparents. There I enjoyed fresh air and helped my grandparents to dig the garden, to gather fruit and vegetables. I went fishing with my grandfather.
I relaxed last summer and prepared for a new school year.
