Adventures with Mom
A true story from the USA.
“Let’s go on an adventure!” said Tanner. “Let’s be explorers!”
Tanner rode his bike. Mom walked.
They went up and down hills. They giggled as his bike bounced.
They went through trees and around a lake. Tanner told Mom about his friends in school. He told her about his favorite books. He told her about his favorite games.
“Mom, what are your favorite things to do?” asked Tanner.
“One of them is having adventures with you!” said Mom.
