Bing! Bing! The phone rings. My cousin wants to talk to me about having a sleepover! I asked my dad if I can go. "Yes,"said Dad. "Yay! Yay!" I exclaimed.

The next day, we drove to my cousins' house and went to the beach. We decided to play in the ocean. I was holding my sister's hand and my cousin's hand and the waves kept on washing over us and we kept on falling down. My sister's glasses almost got swept away!

Then my cousin said, "We should play cards. Let's go get the cards from the car!" We asked his parents and got them from the car. We went back to where my grandma was and sat down.

Then we started to play. My cousins, my sisters, and I played. The game was very hard. My cousin won. We started to pack up because we heard my aunt and uncle telling us to clean up. While everyone was packing

up, me and my cousin started to count the cards.

We counted the cards, there were only 199 cards. There was one missing! We started to look for the lost card. That's our mystery! We dug up in the sand around us, but we couldn't find the missing card. Then we looked in the car, and we found the card in the trunk. We were happy to find our card.



Then we went to the car. We were all screaming for ice cream. We drove to Cold Stone and we tried different ice cream. I tried marshmallow (for the first time) and cotton candy. My sister tried marshmallow as well. My cousin tried chocolate. We all had coffee-flavored ice cream. After we all enjoyed the ice cream we drove home. We unpacked and cleaned ourselves. We talked about how fun and exciting a day it was.
