“Let’s go camping this weekend,” said Joanher mother. “There is a state parkGreen Lake. It’sShore Road. We can rent a boat there.”

“Fine,” said Mrs. Oak. “I think that campingOctober is fun. What shall we takeeat? Let’s see, we’ll need coffee, apples, some cheese, a dozeneggs, and a loafbread. Shall we take any meat?”

“No, we’ll go fishing,” Joan toldher mother. “We can roast fisha fire. Wear old clothes, and bringa heavy coat. It’s coldthe lakeOctober, and sometimes it rains. A person can catch a coldwarm clothing.”

Saturday, Joan and her mother wokeearly, ate breakfast, and loaded the back endtheir truck. The tent was heavy, so they loaded itthe truck first. They didn’t wantput the foodit. They loaded the other things that they needed.

Mrs. Oak and Joan werethe roadseven o’clock. Boththem were wearing old clothes and heavy coats.

They arrivedShore Roadeight o’clockthe morning. The state park wasthe endthe road. Mrs. Oak parked the truck and told Joan, “I’m going to rent a boatus. Shall I help youputthe tent?”

Joan smiledher mother and said, “No, thanks, Mom. I can do itmyself.” she finished, Joan cut the loafbread and made cheesesandwiches.

When Mrs. Oak came, she said, “The manthe park office says we can go fishing6am and 6pm.” They gotthe boat and pushed it awaythe shorethe lake.

The two women spent the day fishingthe lake. the endthe day, they each had six fish.

When they got backthe shore, Mrs. Oak madea fire and Joan cleaned the fish. Joan roasted the fishthe fire. While Joan was roasting the fish, Mrs. Oak made coffee and toast. She cutsome breadthe loaf and toasted it.

dinner, they put the foodthe frontthe truck. “Now we won’t have to worryanimals,” said Joan.

They watchedthe fire and talkeda while. Mrs. Oak said, “we go to sleep, we’d betterput out the fire.” Then they tooktheir boots and gottheir sleeping bags.

The next day, it raineda few hours. it stopped raining, the two women fished again. Then they wenta boat ridethe lake. They rodethe lakethe other shore and back again. “I’m glad you rented a boata motor!” said Joan.

“This has been a nice weekend,” said Joan. “Let’s gocamping again when Dad comes backDallas. Do you think that you and Dad can go next weekend?”

“Yes, I think so,” said Mrs. Oak. “Your dad will like campingthis lakeus.”
