Last summer, my family and I (decide) to spend a day at the beach. We (take) our bags with towels, sunscreen, and snacks, then we (drive) to the coast.
When we (arrive) at the beach, the sun (shine) brightly, and the waves (crash) against the shore. We (find) a good spot and (lay) our towels on the sand.
While my parents (relax) under the umbrella, my brother and I (build) sandcastles. My sister (collect) seashells. Suddenly, dark clouds (appear) in the sky, and it (start) to rain.
We (run) for cover. While we (wait) for the rain to stop we (talk). After the storm (pass), the sun (come) out again, and we (return) to the beach activities.
As the day (draw) to a close, we (pack) up our things and (go) back home, tired but happy after a wonderful day at the beach.
