We are floating high in the air into the clouds and on our way from Potsdam to Florida. There are so many pretty clouds. Do you see the clouds shaped like polygons? What kinds of polygons do you see and how many are there?

How do you know what kinds of polygons these are? The temperature in Florida is 88 degrees. We should wear our shorts and a tee shirt.

We will fly there. “Let's go!” Did you know Disney World has 20,000 acres and has the largest theme park in the world?
