He only put his hands in the water for a few seconds and then took them out again.

We all got up early and got dressed quickly. And then we went to the airport by bus. We went back home on a very big plane. On the plane I sat with Linda and my dad. Dad was in the middle and I was by the window， so I could see everything. Junior was behind us. I played with Linda for a while and then went to sleep.
When we got off the plane， it was very cold. We all had to hold hand baggage (托着行李) on the way home， because we brought back so many things.
I think the vacation is very nice. It is really interesting to visit Hainan and we all had a good time there.How did the family go to the airport?
