  • Today is a happy day. Everything is perfect. I love going on picnics with my relatives on holidays. We had huni roshi toast with mashuni tuna and coconut for breakfast and went to the sea. We lost track of the time as we enjoyed tossing a ball, searching for nuts, doing swimming races, and diving off the pier. Our mothers called us back to shore in the afternoon when the sun was brightest. We were happy and excited to see what was in the bags that our mothers had brought. It was a lot of really cute candies. After I had some candy, I went back out into the sea and relaxed on an air mattress. Our mothers got into the sea, too, and tossed water on me. We all had spicy tuna snacks and tea on the beach in the evening. I was sleepy when we got home, but I was really happy.
