My Summer Diary, by Dan

Day 3:

This morning, we visited an old cave in the mountains.
It was fantastic! It was a bit scary inside the cave
because there were bats.
In the afternoon, my family and I had a barbecue
next to the river. We ate sausages and burgers. Yum!
In the evening, we went to the movie theater and we
watched a movie. I liked the movie because it was very funny.
Tomorrow, we’re going to make a cake for my
cousin because it’s his birthday.
