С друзьями.Мне очень понравилось быть на море.Тёплая вода,красивая природа,волны,пение птиц. А ещё я познакомился с новыми друзьями  Толей,Мишей и Никитой.Мы вместе целыми днями играли,веселились всё было классно.По вечерам мы с родителями гуляли около берега или были на дискотеке.Лето пролетело очень быстро.
