They take sandwiches and cans of Coca-Cola or they make a fire and cook hamburgers on the beach. There are lots of activities at the beach.They can swim, take a walk or throw frisbees. Linda is learning to play the guitar, so sometimes they sing by the fire. Sometimes they play volleyball or lie down on the beach to enjoy the sun.On rainy days, Jenny and Linda stay at home. They often read or watch TV. Sometimes, they make cookies or bake a cake. They also talk about their boyfriends.
