1 "Welcome home," yelled Wendy. She had been watching for her friends Tim and Tess. They were returning home from vacation. They had been to visit some of their relatives in California.
2 "Hi, Wendy," replied Tess. "It's good to be home."
3 "Boy, do we have some stories to tell you," added Tim. "We'll be right over."

5 "We sure did," answered Tess. "We met relatives we never knew we had."
