Dear Nancy,

We are having a great holiday here on the Gold Coast. Yesterday we went to the Movie World. When we got up in the morning, it looked like rain, but then it became sunny.

The first ride I went on was Lethal Weapon. Next I saw the Police Academy show. After that I had lunch as I was really hungry. Meanwhile, My Mom and Kelly queued for the Batman ride. It was a really fun day. See you when you get back.

Love,

Sam
