My aunt came to my home with her six­year­old daughter Alice this morning. While my aunt was talking with my mom at home, my cousin felt a bit __1__. So I suggested that I go out with her. My aunt happily __2__. So we went to the park near my home together. There we bought two __3__ and started flying them. While we were doing that, Alice couldn't help __4__. She jumped up and down and I knew she was __5__ having great fun. And I must __6__ that I haven't enjoyed myself like that for a long time.

So seize (°ÑÎÕ) the day!
