My best day of the year summer - my favorite time of year. Finally, end the cold and begin a vacation. In summer you can enjoy the sun and warm days, go on long trips and hikes. Especially nature is beautiful in the summer - noise green leaves forest berries ripen, thrive the most amazing colors. One can endlessly walk through the flowering meadows and enjoy the modest white-daisy or weave a wreath of dandelions. It's nice to go into the woods to escape from the gloom and heat of the day. And if you look closely, the reward for forest walks are sturdy brown mushrooms and proud aspen.

I  have a friend from Kiev. He arrives in Russa only once a year. I miss him very much. So, when he came to me this summer I was really very happy! I decided to show him my city. We went to the main squere, and he found it very beautiful. Then we visited cinema Aurora and went to the fountains. It was very hot outside and he asked me to go to the aquapark with him. That was funny! We swam a lot, lied in the sun, ate ice cream. In the evening we went to the theatre with him and my parents. The "Three sisters" by Chechov was on. We had a great pleasure from watching it. In the morning of the other day my friend went to his relatives, who also live in Russia. I was so sadly to say him goodbye. Now I miss him, but that was the best day of the year!
