TODAY'S TOPIC: We asked what would be your perfect summer vacation day?
My perfect summer day is when I go fishing at a lake with my parents. We make a contest of who gets the biggest fish. I was the winner and my brother lost.

My perfect summer day was when I went to the park. I brought food, scooters and a blanket. I was playing with water and hide-and-seek. After we went to eat chicken, I got water balloons and me and my brothers and sisters were throwing them on each other. Then, we were tired, so we drank water and then we played with the scooters. After, we climbed up everything and we played and then we got in the car and left.

My idea for a perfect day is to go to some other city with one of my friends from the class. The city I would go to would be Paris. I would go to French restaurants. Then, I could go with my friend to see the Eiffel Tower.

For summer vacation, you can go to the beach. You can bring a bucket, dig in the sand, go in the water and also make a sandcastle.

Hey, Moms and Dads! Keep those letters coming! The kids are out of school for the summer, but that doesn't mean their brains have to go on vacation, too. Encourage your children to keep up their reading and writing by keeping up with the Kids' Daily News and responding to our weekly questions throughout the summer. We like hearing their thoughts - serious, insightful or amusing.
