A Trip to the Beach
Tisha went to the beach with her family. She wore her favorite swimsuit, and the sun was shining brightly. The waves crashed gently on the shore. Tisha played in the sand and built a tall sandcastle with her bucket and shovel. Her brother helped her decorate the castle with seashells. They collected smooth stones and shiny shells along the shore. Later, Tisha ran into the water and splashed and laughed with her brother. Her mom called them back to eat lunch. They had sandwiches, fruit, and juice. After lunch, Tisha rested under an umbrella, watched the waves, and felt happy. Tisha loved spending a fun day at the beach.
