(want) to see the famous monster, Nessie!
We (3)
(have) a picnic and (4)
(stay) all afternoon.
We (5)
(talk) and (6)
(play) games. We also
(7)
(listen) and (8)
(look) for Nessie, but we
didn't notice anything strange in the lake :-(. Later we (9)
(visit)
the Loch Ness museum and (10)
(watch) a film about Nessie.
We didn't believe a lot of the stories about Nessie, but we (11)
