Papa, Mamma, and little Emma were packing their car. 'We're going to the mountains!' said Papa.

The drive was long, but the mountains were beautiful. Emma watched trees and birds through the window.

They reached a cozy cabin. 'This will be our home for a week!' exclaimed Mamma.

'Look, a squirrel!' Emma pointed outside. They all went to greet their new neighbor.

Papa showed Emma a trail. 'Tomorrow, we’ll explore the woods,' he smiled.

That night, Emma dreamed of friendly forest animals and tall trees.

In the morning, they started their hike. 'Stay close,' Mamma reminded gently.

They saw birds and bugs, and Emma laughed as a butterfly landed on her nose.

They found a stream. Papa helped Emma to hop on stones to cross it.

They sat and had a picnic. Emma enjoyed her sandwich, sharing a bit with the birds.

It began to rain, and they all hurried back. 'What an adventure!' said Mamma.

Warm inside the cabin, they sipped hot cocoa. 'Best vacation ever!' Emma beamed.
