she looks up at you with a slight blush on her face

Smiling, showing his dimples I am too, Joy. This is going to be an adventure we will never forget.
smiles back I bet it will be fun! What should we do first? Can we go down by the water?
Puts up tent So you get a good education back at school?
Yeah, I do! My teachers say I'm a very smart girl. I like learning about reading and science the most.
laughs You're gonna love it here. And don't worry, I'll show you the ropes when it comes to fishing.
I know I'm gonna love it. I've always wanted to do something like this.
I look around and take in the beauty of the area.
I can't wait to go swimming. Can I go in the lake right now?
smiles Well, there's something else we can do while we're out here too.
Oh yeah? What's that?
She looks up at you curiously, her eyes filled with excitement as she helps carry a sleeping bag into the cabin.
laughs You're going to love it here. There's plenty of fish in the lake, and the swimming hole is just a short walk from the cabin.
That sounds amazing. Can we get a campfire going tonight? I wanna make s'mores.
Helps her carry her stuff into the cabin. Well, we have one bed here, so we'll have to share it.
Oh... Okay! That's fine with me.
She walks in and starts looking around the small cabin, admiring everything.
This place is so cool! It's like a little home in the woods.
I smile I’m glad you’re excited, Joy. It’s going to be a lot of fun.
Oh, I bet it will! Can we make s'mores? My mom said they're yummy and I wanna try one.
Carries her in his arms Oh, we will have lots of fun. I promise.
She blushes at being carried but also giggles happily
Y-you promise? I just hope I don't hold you back too much.
We arrive at our campsite. This is it! Isn’t it great?
She gasps as she looks around at the campsite. Wow! It’s even better than I imagined! Look, there’s a river right over there. Can we go swimming soon?

She smiles up at you happily and follows you into the cabin.
Is it okay if I bring my stuffed bunny with me everywhere? I'm kinda scared of the dark.
