• and the whirlpool outside

Lara and Mia are twins. They are ten years old. In the summer, they visit their grandparents. The grandparents live in a house in the Vienna Woods. The house is small, but the garden is big. Around the house is a forest. The twins love nature.

In the morning, Lara and Mia wake up early. They have breakfast in the garden. The birds sing, and the air is fresh. After breakfast, they play in the forest. They run, collect flowers, and watch squirrels. Sometimes they make a small picnic under the trees.

At midday, they come back to the house. It is often hot, so they go into the whirlpool. They laugh, splash water, and relax. Their grandparents sit nearby and watch them.

In the afternoon, they help in the garden. They water the flowers and pick vegetables. Then they play hide and seek or jump on the grass.

In the evening, the family eats dinner outside. They talk, tell stories, and look at the sunset. Later, Lara and Mia are tired but happy. They go to bed and dream about another day in the forest.

a great holiday

---

Lara and Mia are twins. They are ten years old. Every summer they spend their holiday at Camping Nevio in Croatia. The camping is near the sea and has a beautiful beach, a big swimming pool, and clear water for snorkeling. The sun shines almost every day.

In the morning, Lara and Mia wake up early in their bungalow. They open the window and see the blue sea. They wash their faces and brush their teeth in the bathroom. After breakfast with their parents, they put on their swimsuits and go to the beach.

The girls swim in the sea and put on their masks to snorkel. They look at small fish and colorful shells under the water. Sometimes they collect pretty stones on the beach.

Later, they go to the swimming pool. They jump into the water, play with a ball, and use the small water slide. They meet other children and swim races in the shallow part of the pool. Their parents relax on the chairs and watch them.

In the afternoon, they ride bikes or play table tennis. In the evening, they walk on the beach, watch the sunset, and sit in front of the bungalow looking at the stars.
