91. Fun in the Sun

Kimberly and her family were going on a beach vacation. They packed their swimsuits, sunscreen, and sunglasses. When they arrived at the beach, the sun was shining brightly. Kimberly built sandcastles with her little brother, Max. Mom and Dad spread a big colorful beach towel. The whole family sat down for a picnic. 

They enjoyed sandwiches, fruit, and cold lemonade. After lunch, Kimberly and Max collected seashells. They even found a shiny starfish! In the afternoon, they rented a paddleboat and explored the calm waters near the shore. 

As the sun began to set, they made a bonfire on the beach. They shared stories and watched the stars twinkle in the night sky. It was the perfect vacation day.
