In The Sunny Day
Last weekend, my family and I went to Rongkang beach near our grandparent’s house. The day was sunny and hot. The view of the beach was beautiful. There were many people at the beach. Most of them were teenagers.
We were having fun. We built a sandcastle. We had to rebuild twice before it really stood up. The first attempt failed because we built it to close to the water. And the second attempt, the successful one, was just right. The spot we choose was not too close to the water and the mixture was good.

We were so proud of our work that day.
