We finally prepared our suitcases and set off for the holiday. We usually spend our holidays with my family in the village where my father was born and raised.  This time we will go to the village again. This time my father went two weeks ago, before us and he said he has got a surprise to us.

I am very excited for this. My father went before us so I will go with my brother and mother to the village. I love journeys very much because on the way to the village we always listen to music and sing. Sometimes my father or my mother tells something about their childhood and we make jokes.  When we arrived at the village, first my mother rested because we had a long journey. We went out with my brother to do discover around, we love it so much. We found very interesting leaves. After a little travelling, we went home. My father said it's time to show the surprise and he took us there to the big plane tree. He asked us to close our eyes before reaching the plane tree and we closed. When we arrived near the plane tree, my father told us to open our eyes. I was very surprised when I opened my eyes and I became very happy. My father built a tree house on the plane tree. Everything looked so perfect. This was incredible to me. My father almost spent his childhood on this plane tree. When they were child, they always played on the plane tree with their friends. This plane tree is important for us, too because every summer, when we come to the village, we have a picnic here and spend most of the day here. Now let’s turn to the tree house. It means my father has been here for two weeks to do this then he asked if we like his surprise?  We hugged him and thanked so much and said yes, we love so much. Then my father led us inside the house. The tree house was three floors. There was a small kitchen on the first floor. The second floor consists of three sections. There was a bathroom in one section. In another section, my parents had a bedroom and other section is living room. In living room there are just two small sofas but they are very cute and a table. Our room (my brother and me) were on the top floor of the tree house. In our room there is a bunk and a wardrobe. We went out after examining the tree house. It was almost evening and we were very hungry. My father went to tree house and brought a basket. He had prepared the necessary things for dinner. We ate our dinner outside together. There were chickens outside and we fed them, too. After eating our food, we carried our belongings to the tree house and we put them on their places before we slept. We got up with bird sounds. Waking up with their sound was brilliant. We had our breakfast outside. After breakfast, my brother climbed a tree and I climbed, too. The weather was very nice so I read some books outside. After an hour, my father said us "come down" and he said “I have a surprise for you. You will love that so much”. We went down immediately. He bought us a baby donkey. When we saw baby donkey, we became very happy. It was so cute. We decided together to name it Karakaçan. We spent our all holiday there.   This holiday was the most beautiful and funniest holiday I've ever had.
