Who Asked You: What’s your favorite thing about summer?

Going swimming. When it gets hot I jump in cold water.

I like swimming and going camping at Pedernales Falls. And I like to shop at the mall, buying clothes and stuff. If it’s too hot outside I go to the movies.

I can play with my friends all day. We like rollerblading and riding bikes.
