At the Playground
I went to the playground with my friends yesterday. We played on the swings and climbed the monkey bars. I loved sliding down the big slide. I came down the slide fast, and my friends laughed as I landed in the sand. We also played tag. We ran as fast as we could because we wanted to avoid being caught. I was caught, and it was my turn to run behind my friends. I caught a friend, and we all laughed. We took turns running behind one another. After a while, we were very tired, so we sat under a tree. Under the tree, we drank water and ate snacks. We all rested and enjoyed the shade. Playing at the playground was exciting!
