Can someone correct my Spanish sentences?

I'm still trying to learn Spanish, and I had to create 8 sentences on what the people in my community were doing. I made my best attempt at it, but I know that I will have a lot of mistakes. If someone could just look over my sentences, and fix some mistakes and make them sound more smooth. I want them to sound how an actual Spanish-speaker would say them.

Mi amiga, Grace, esta donando toda su larga cabellera a la caridad. (My friend, Grace, is donating all of her long hair to charity.)

Mi novio esta acampando con su familia toda esta semana. (My boyfriend is camping with his family all of this week.)

Mi vecino con los pequenos perros blancos esta afuera plantando flores. (My neighbor with the little white dogs is outside planting flowers.)

Hay ninos pequenos que juegan en el columpio afuera.(There are young children playing on the swingset outside.)

Mi tio y su hijo estan pintando la valla. (My uncle and his son are painting their fence.)

.Mi madre esta haciendo compras de fruta en la tienda.(My mom is shopping for fruit at the store.)

La mayoria de mis vecinos estan trabajando en sus patios ahora que hace calor (Most of my neighbors are working on their yards now that it is warm.)

Mi tia esta de vacaciones en un hotel agradable. (My aunt is on vacation in a nice hotel.)

Plata_y_oro, who is fluent in Spanish (according to his profile) has written the correct spellings for the Spanish words that have written accents and the "ñ's". Except he missed the last one "tía". These letters are not optional they are required as part of the language. I suggest you both give Plata_y_oro a vote and select his answer as the best. He may not be in it for the points but it really is the least you can do.

I'm not an expert but I did see one thing.

Fruit is singular and plural in English. However, in Spanish fruta is singular and frutas are plural.

A piece of fruit is una fruta and fruit are frutas.

I wish I could tell you that they are 100% correct but I can only say good job.
