Hey everyone! We haven`t had any question in awhile, so here you go: (1) What is your favorite thing to do at the beach? (2) Where you live is it HOT {90-100 degrees Fahrenheit} Very warm {80-90 degrees F} or warm {70-80 degrees F} in the Summer? (3) Do you have any fun Summer traditions that you do every year?

I like playing in the sand, where we live it is very warm and sometimes hot, not really

1. I love to swim, and also sometimes I love looking for shells at the beach, one time me and my cousins got a bunch of shells we found. 2. I just moved to the south so its like 80-90 degrees. It use to be 65-80 degrees in the north where I lived. 3. we use to visit my grandma's house every year but its a long way. we have to take a plane there and ever since we moved we sorta got busy and never got the time. We may go next yr tho. For now I'm doing cheerleading tumbling and I talk to my friends on facetime.

#crafts awsome idea jthomas0310
spykitten spykitten

I have an idea, if throwing away stuff is so bad to animals, we should try to make them into handmade crafts. If you like this idea, say #Crafts.
applemango applemango

#Crafts I agree with you jthomas but then if the people don't like the crafts they can throw them away...and there is an idea of a thing that eats paper...............but what you said is a great idea too!!!
spykitten spykitten

Yeah, OR we could RECYCLE them!
grapefruit grapefruit

A thing that eats paper? Well I just thought of one of my classmates. But that's a terrible thought. So don't mind me. I say these things all the time.
bean_boy bean_boy

YA EAT PAPER!! Oh ya #Crafts too!
spykitten spykitten

That is true, applemango, but it is still better than JUST throwing away things.
