In my last summer vacation, I had a lot of time.
The first month of summer was the same as the past. I was in the city. But, at home idly, not sitting. I went to the garden to grandparents, and we had fun. We splashed water from the well, when the air was filled with the heat. And at night telling scary stories and listened to the songs of crickets admiring the night sky. I visited all the hiding places to read. He was fond of sketching and photography.
In July I went to another city with her grandmother to visit relatives and I loved it. Nevyansk was reminded, more of the village and there was a lot of beautiful places such as: Nevyansk tower, the river Neva or a small hill overlooking the houses and the forest, who were also brought in my camera.
I returned home empty-handed. Relatives allowed me to visit them in the attic, where I found several bags of books. I sat behind them all day, all I get could not, so took the most interesting, I took them with him.
Returning home, I read a lot, drew, and was preparing to study, exams, as as.
This summer I liked the fact that I managed to help grandmothers in the country; I read lots of interesting books and more time devoted to the creative skill. And most importantly, I fulfilled the dream of his grandmother: "to Visit the homeland".
