Story Time: Summer Vacation

It is summertime, and Rob is full of joy! Summer is Rob’s favorite season because it’s warm and full of fun activities. He wakes up with excitement and plans his day at the beach.

At the beach, Rob feels the soft sand under his feet. He runs to the water and swims in the cool, blue sea. The waves splash, making him laugh.

After swimming, Rob builds sandcastles with tall towers and deep moats. He is proud of his creations and enjoys decorating them with shells and small stones. “Look at my castle!” he says happily.

When he gets hungry, Rob eats a big, cold ice cream. The sweet taste makes him smile. Sitting under the sun with ice cream is his favorite moment of the day.

Rob loves the feeling of the warm sun on his skin and the sound of the sea waves. Summer days like these make him happy. He plays until it’s time to go home, feeling tired but joyful. “Summer is the best!” Rob says as he waves goodbye to the sea.

Summer is indeed a season full of sunshine, play, and joy!
