Grammar writing

On a peaceful Sunday Patrick's family headed for the country. They carefully climbed in the car right after lunch. As Dad drove gently down the road the kids looked through the windows at the passing landscape. Soon, rows of houses gave away to larger fields of hay. There were even horse walking shyly  in the fields. Patrick's younger sister asked if they could stop to pet them, Dad loudly said "No" but Mum knew the farmer and told Dad to stop. The children joyfully walked towards the beautiful animals, mindful not to scare them away. The older horse approached shyly and smelled the top of Patrick's head. Mum offered him a carrot and the horse neighed curious. It started chewing on the carrot, allowing the children to pet it softly. Their country adventure made them hungry for dinner that day.     adverbs
