We wear cool clothes to stay comfortable.
During summer, we spend time outside, playing in the park and splashing in the pool.
Ice cream 🍨 is everyone’s favorite treat, and it tastes so yummy on a hot day!
We also like to have picnics in the shade, where we can eat sandwiches 🥪 and drink lemonade.
The sounds of laughter fill the air as children play and run around.
