Hello Grandma, How are you?

Let me tell you about my last weekend:

On Sunday the weather was very good and I went to the park.

I wanted to watch the ducks on the lake, to lie in the sun and to read a book.

But then my friend Noah came along. He had a football and asked me to play with him. We started to play and I was the goalkeeper. However, after some time it got boring.

Then we saw our other friends. Joyce was painting a picture and Akira was skateboarding. We asked them to join in and we had a football match all together. That was a lot of fun.

After the game we sat under the big tree and ate some ice-cream.

I hope you also had a nice weekend.

Love, Nina
