It was 3 days ago, my groupmates and I decided to have a picnic. We planned it the day before and found a beautiful place in nature with lots of trees. The next day, we met there, ordered some food, and played mafia. It was fun and enjoyable. After eating, we climbed the mountain. It was scary, but the boys helped us, so we managed to reach the top. At the peak, we took some photos and enjoyed the view. On the way down, we saw some snakes which scared us. Then our teacher suggested playing volleyball. The game was cool, and afterwards, we headed home. The picnic was very enjoyable and I was happy to spend time in nature with my groupmates. Okay.
