Once upon a time, Leigha woke up to bright sunshine streaming through her window.

Today was special. She was going to the beach with her family!

After getting dressed, Leigha packed her favorite toys and a big fluffy towel.

Leigha's mom packed a picnic with sandwiches, apple slices, and juice boxes.

They drove to the beach, singing songs and laughing together in the car.

Arriving at the beach, they found the perfect spot on the soft, warm sand.

Leigha built a big sandcastle, imagining it was a real castle with a princess inside.

She collected shells and pebbles, each one more interesting than the last.

Leigha played tag with the waves, giggling as the water tickled her toes.

At lunchtime, the family sat together on their blanket, enjoying the tasty picnic.

When the sun began to set, Leigha didn't want to leave, but she knew they would come back soon.

Tired but happy, Leigha fell asleep in the car, dreaming of her next beach adventure.
