Lily loves to swing. She likes to feel the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She swings high and low, fast and slow. She laughs and sings as she swings.
One day, she sees a big blanket on the grass. It has many colors and shapes. She thinks it is pretty. She stops swinging and runs to the blanket. She sees a basket on the blanket. It has many yummy things inside. She sees apples, cheese, bread, and juice. She thinks it is a picnic.
She looks around and sees a man and a woman. They are smiling and waving at her. They are Lily's mom and dad. They came to surprise her. They say, "Hello, Lily! We brought you a picnic. Do you want to join us?"
Lily is happy. She hugs her mom and dad. She says, "Yes, please! I love picnics. And I love you!" She sits on the blanket and eats the yummy things. She shares with her mom and dad. They talk and laugh and have fun.
After the picnic, Lily says, "Thank you, mom and dad. That was the best surprise ever. Can we swing again?" Her mom and dad say, "Of course, Lily. We love to swing with you." They hold her hands and walk to the swing. They swing high and low, fast and slow. They laugh and sing as they swing. Lily is happy. She thinks, "This is the best day ever."
