    Setting up the camp, John and Jane were building the tent while Tommy and Lilly collected firewood. They worked together like a well-oiled machine.

    As night fell, the family sat around the campfire, roasting marshmallows. John started telling ghost stories, making everyone laugh and shudder at the same time.

    The next day, they decided to go fishing. Each of them had a fishing rod in hand, patiently waiting for a catch.

    Lilly was the first to catch a fish. Her squeal of joy echoed across the serene lake, bringing a smile to everyone's face.

    Jane then suggested they make a time capsule, burying mementos from their trip. The kids were thrilled and immediately got to work.
