Today is a beautiful day. My family goes to the beach. The sun is warm and bright. The sky is blue with white clouds. We find a nice spot on the sand. My father puts up a big umbrella. My mother spreads a colorful towel on the ground. I take off my shoes and feel the warm sand. The sand feels soft between my toes. I run to the water with my brother. The water is cool and clear. We jump in the small waves. The waves splash on our legs. We laugh and play in the water. My sister builds a sandcastle. She uses a small bucket and a shovel. The sandcastle has tall towers. I help her find pretty shells. We put shells on the sandcastle walls. A seagull flies above us. The bird is white with gray wings. It makes a loud sound. My mother gives us sandwiches for lunch. We sit under the umbrella and eat. The sandwiches taste good. We also have cold water to drink. After lunch, my father reads a book. My mother sleeps in the sun. We go back to the water to swim. The water feels nice and cool. I see small fish in the water. The fish swim fast near my feet. In the evening, the sun goes down. The sky turns orange and pink. It is very beautiful. We pack our things slowly. I am tired but happy. My skin feels warm from the sun. We say goodbye to the beach. I want to come back soon. The beach is my favorite place.
