Sunday at the Park

Today is Sunday and the weather is very good. In the morning, my family and I go to the park.

There are many people in the park. Some people run, some sing, and some take photos.

We buy water and fruit and sit under a tree to rest. At noon we go to a restaurant to eat. The food is very tasty.
