We asked kids at Fashion Island: What do you have in store for the

last moments of summer before school starts?

1. I’m going to be at tennis camp at the Newport Beach Tennis Club and

then swim after the camp lets out. I only have one week of summer left.

I’m going into the fifth grade. I’m excited about getting a new teacher

and having new classmates. But I will miss summer.

2. School has already started for me back in Utah, but I’m on vacation

in Laguna Beach at a beach house with my family.

3. I’m staying with my grandmother in Newport Beach until my parents

get back from vacation this week. Yesterday we went to the Fun Zone and

went on all of the rides. And then we went shopping at Fashion Island for

a birthday present for my dad and uncle.

4. School starts in about two weeks. Today I made a teddy bear at

Fashion Island. And then I’m going to San Diego with my mom, dad and

brother. We are going to the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. I am going

to swim and play tennis.

5. I’ll be shopping for school clothes, getting school supplies,

pencils, paper. Pretty much everything. I’ll be playing sports with my

friends and hanging out with my two sisters, Molly and Brittany.

6. I’ll be riding my go-ped with my friends. I just got back from

playing ice hockey in Canada. I’m a little bit excited that school is

starting. I’m going to work hard so I can get good grades.
