Of course we still go outside to play

Hi, my name is Jorge. I am 9 years old. On my street, kids still play outside [“Where Did All the Kids Go?” July 13].

We play sports like soccer, baseball, kickball, basketball and football. My best friend, Joshua, comes out to play with me, and my other friend Ulises joins us. My little brother, Nicolas, is 4, and he also plays outside. My little sister, Natalia, 3, likes to run and ride her tricycle around the block.

It would be boring not to play outside. Some day, come visit us.
