The picnic by the river Last weekend, we went to the countryside. My father parked the car near a bunch of trees. We got out and walked to a field by the river. The landscape was really beautiful! The weather was warm and sunny. I took lots of pictures of some funny black and white sheep because I love animals. We played some board games and played football in the green grass. After that we were very tired and hungry.

So we sat on the blanket and my mother took out the food. She had packed lots of goodies! We had three different salads; my favourite cheese, some watermelon and a delicious chocolate cake that my mother baked. After lunch we went for a relaxing walk along the river’s edge and saw many fish. It was a nice day and we enjoyed the picnic by the river!
