['this summer i have had the pleasure of being able to have my daughter stay with me, who usually lives in another city!', 'That sounds great!  You must have felt really happy!', 'yes it is great! we did go to the beach once but mostly we just relax and enjoy each others company']
It sounds like you were quite content and joyful with you time you had with your daughter.
This summer i have been able to have my daughter stay with me. While we have not done anything particularly special it has been a great time for use and we are both fairly happy. We enjoy just spending time together and relaxing. We have been able to bond a great deal these past few months!
