Last week, our family went to the countryside to have a picnic. We brought several sandwiches and some bottles of water with us, Of course we didn't forget to take some fruit and we even took some tomatoes and cucumbers(黄瓜).
We started out quite early before there was too much traffic. After two hours of driving, we came to a nice place. It was the foot of a hill with some large trees and a river beside it. As it was a very hot day, we parked(停) the car under a big tree, and went for a swim in the river. The water was refreshing (提神的). After having a swim, we had lunch in the cool shade(阴凉处) under the trees.
After lunch, we went for a walk. We saw some beautiful birds and butterflies.
We smelled sweet air. After walking for about an hour, we returned(返回) to the car.
However, we couldn't get the car started. Finally we had to push(推) the car to the road arid wait for help. Of course, the car's breaking down spoilt(破坏) our picnic in the end.
