“I have an idea,” Father said. “At Crescent Lake we can float on the water. We can walk on a trail. We can sleep in a a forest.”

Richard and Jean said, “Please, let’s camp at Crescent Lake!”

Jean and Richard couldn’t wait.

Finally, it was time to go. Mother read the map. Father drove the car.

“Turn left here,” Mother said. “Turn right there,” she said. “Now straight down this road. We are almost there.”

“This place is great!” Richard said.“Hear the birds sing!” Mother said.“See the tall trees!” Jean said.“Smell the fresh air,” Father said.

“Are you glad we came to Crescent Lake?”
