Going on a Beach Holiday

Mummy said we needed to go on holiday. She went on the computer and looked for a beach house. Then she found Moona Moona Cottage. It was snug and cosy with two bedrooms and three queen-sized beds. It was right by the beach. I really really liked it.

Mum tried to book the cottage, but it was already booked. So Mum had to start looking for another house. I was disappointed.

Then Mum found another cottage at a place called 'Swan Lake'. The name makes me think of Barbie and Swan Lake. She tried to book this one.

We waited all day for an answer, but by the time I went to bed, we still hadn't heard whether we'd got it. Then, next morning Mum told us that we'd got the house. I cheered.

She showed us the photos of the house. I liked it even better than Moona Moona Cottage. This cottage has three bedrooms, two of them with queen beds, and the third with a set of bunks and a queen-sized bed in a sunroom. It also has a piano, wood stove, six bikes, and a canoe.

Sophie and I are going to share a queen bed. Mummy and Daddy are going to have another one, and Imogen and Charlotte are going to have the bunk beds.

I can't wait for the holiday. I want to see the black swans on the lake, and to go and see the whales and dolphins. I'm going to bring my bike and my scooter with me so I can go riding by the lake. We can go swimming in the lake without worrying about nasty jellyfish. The lake even has white sand. And it's not too far from the real beach.

Going To See Our Cousins

On Monday we went to visit our cousins the Leaches. We got up really early and had pancakes and porridge for breakfast. Then we got in the car and went to the Leach's house. It was a very long drive. I got bored.

When we got there, we gave my cousin Megan her twenty and a half birthday presents. Then we went to the beach.

My cousin Melanie, who is the same age as me, and I made a sandcastle. We found some shells and put them on the sandcastle to make it look pretty. Sophie and Bethany made a sandcastle too.

We weren't allowed to get wet, but we did. We didn't mean to but the sea chased us up the beach and got us wet. So we had to go for a walk to get dry.

Then we went back to the Leach's house because it was lunchtime. After lunch we went and played in the Leach's caravan. I liked playing in it. After that with Melanie's Polly Dolls.

We had to go home. We were all tired. I fell asleep in the car. Sophie did too. I really enjoyed seeing Melanie. I don't see her very often.
