Two Trips for Thomas
View passage image
Trip 1 - The Beach
My name is Thomas. I like to go to the beach with my cousins. We go every summer. We have so much fun. We swim in the ocean. We splash in the waves. We pretend to be sharks. If the water is too cold, we play on the sand. We build sandcastles. We dig big holes. I like to bury my little cousin Oscar in the sand. We look for shells. I bring my favorite shells home with me. When I look at the shells, I think about how much I love the beach.
Trip 2 - The Lake
My name is Thomas. I like to go to the lake with my friends. We go every spring. We have so much fun. We row boats on the lake. We go fishing. If we catch a fish, we throw it back into the water. If the water is warm enough, we go swimming. We play catch in the water. We take turns jumping off of the dock. My friend Grover makes the biggest splash! We look for small rocks. I like to find shiny rocks. I put them in my pocket and bring them home. When I look at the rocks, I think about how much I love the lake.
