Hi Jess,

Next summer my family is going to stay by a lake for a week. We usually stay in hotels, but this time we are renting a small house. It has a kitchen and two bedrooms. Dad wants to go fishing. My sister and I want to swim and ride our bikes. Mum wants to read outside. We are taking some board games for rainy days. I wanted to invite you, but there is no extra bed. Maybe we can go camping together later in August. Would you like that?
