pick berries. Then he meets his friends and they play badminton or ride their bikes.

and they spend a lot of time on the beach. His father and brother windsurf, mum sunbathes
and Nick plays beach ball, makes sandcastles and swims in the sea.

the evenings, they make a campfire. They sing, dance and enjoy themselves.
