decided to go for a walking tour of the park, I saw some children playing and others
eating ice cream, I was having a lot of fun but I decided to return home because it
was late. When I return, my whole family was there, we were talking for a while
about different things, like school, work and more. Then we got hungry, while we
talked, my mom was cooking dinner, so it was ready, we went to the dining room
and we were having dinner until midnight. After a great day I finally went to sleep.
