Chloe visits her grandparents
It was Friday, and I decided to visit my grandparents at their country house. I was getting ready to go when I noticed what a beautiful day it was. The sun was shining, birds were singing, and some skirls were climbing the trees. I was sure it would be a great afternoon with my family, and I was not mistaken. When I arrived at my grandparent’s house, grandma got very excited to see me and was already baking me some chocolate cookies. She was wearing a lovely apron, but it was covered with flour. I smiled at her and asked where grandpa was. She said he was looking for his fishing equipment in the garage. When I went there, he gave me a huge smile. I was so happy to see them!
