I think one of the most interesting animals is the whale. Last year, my family took a cruise to Alaska. From the deck, I saw a whale surface in the water! It came up quickly and then flipped onto its back, making a huge splash. The type of whale I saw was a humpback whale. Humpback whales travel from Hawaii to Alaska every year. A fun fact about whales is that they love to sing. They sing whale songs to call to other whales and just for fun! That is why I think whales are the most interesting animals

Summer is finally here! My favorite thing to do is go to the park, and during the summer it stays open until 9 PM. Every Thursday night this summer there will be a movie shown on a big screen. I can’t wait to enjoy a movie under the stars with my family! The park also just opened a splash pad. I’m looking forward to running through the fountains of water to cool off from the summer heat.

• Splash pads can be dangerous.

• The park is a fun place to go.

• Summer is the best time of the year
