They reached the beach by noon. Eleanor was so excited that she started running towards the water. She tripped over a curb, but quickly got up. 'I'm okay,' she laughed, dusting off the sand.

Eleanor and her friends enjoyed the beach. They played, swam, and even started a sandcastle competition. Eleanor was so focused on winning that she didn't notice the tide coming in. The water started lapping at her feet, but she stayed put, determined to finish her castle.

Suddenly, a big wave came and washed away her sandcastle. Eleanor was stunned for a moment. Then she started laughing and clapped her hands. 'Well, that was fun,' she said, looking at her friends.

As the sun was setting, Eleanor and her friends packed up. 'What a wonderful day,' Eleanor thought, hugging her friends. They started their journey back home, already planning their next beach trip.

Once they reached home, Eleanor hopped into her bed. She was so tired that she started napping immediately. She dreamt of the beach, the sandcastle and the wave. She woke up with a smile, looking forward to another day of fun.
