A Childhood Memory

One of my favorite childhood memories is going to the park with my grandparents. They always brought a big picnic basket filled with food. My grandmother made sandwiches and packed fresh fruit. My grandfather brought juice and cookies. At the park, we sat under a big tree and had our picnic. After eating, I played on the swings and slid down the slide. My grandparents watched me and laughed. Sometimes, we would play games like hide-and-seek. Spending time with my grandparents was always special. Those moments made me feel happy and loved. I will always treasure those memories.
