Minnesota Summer

Summer in Minnesota is more fun than in my country because there more different interesting places.  Summer in my country is not as interesting as in the Minnesota, but we had a good time. We often went to Black Sea, and we never sat at home doing nothing! In Minnesota we never sit at home either. My wife and I go on a fishing trip, walking in different parks, and lakes.  I like summer in Minnesota.

I liked the summer break because I could go to different places such as lakes, parks, different stores…  I went fishing at the Green Lake. Next day my wife and I went at the lake with her uncle’s family. I liked summer break because that time was very nice for my family.

Summer Break

I like summer in Minnesota and my native country too.
I like summer in Minnesota because my family drove to the river and park where we play with our daughter and other children. My native country every year we drove to the Black sea, went in the mountains , drove on the fails, went  on the river Don next where we live.
I wish to spend the summer in both. I have a lot of things to do in my country and in Minnesota.

Summer Break

I liked the summer break because I could go to the park with my family.
I went to the park on summer break. I went with my relatives and friends.
I talked and played with my friends.   There I met my friends. I saw different interesting things.
