The Beach Trippicture

CHAPTER 1

Packing Problems

The yearly beach trip was tomorrow. It took six hours to get to the beach house, but the trip was worth it. Sixteen family members in one house was so fun!

Sofia carried a pile of board games upstairs.

You’re supposed to be packing for the beach, Mamá said.

"Yo sé, Sofia said. I need these for the trip."

Mamá frowned. You need clothes and a swimsuit. Not games.

But the twins will be there! Camila and Valeria love games, Sofia said.

That’s when it is cold. You should be outside when it’s warm, Mamá said.

"Por favor," Sofia begged.

You can bring one game, Mamá said.

But it wasn’t easy to choose.
