Holiday Fun

In the summer my family loves to go camping. Usually we put up our tent in the woods beside a lake or a river. During the day we swim, play games or go hiking on the trails in the forest. In the evening we cook dinner over a big campfire. After we eat we sing songs, tell stories or just lie on the ground gazing at the stars in the sky. It is so much fun that every year I can hardly wait for our holidays to begin.
