The second week of April 2014 was exceptionally warm, with high temperatures in the 80s for 4 straight days. I had a few of my younger friends over to celebrate a slumber party on April 11, which was a Friday night. My birthday is April 1, 1994. Let's take a trip a whole stage (4 years) back to 2010, in which I had older friends with spring birthdays, Carly Shay whose birthday was on April 14, 1994 and Alex Russo, whose birthday was on May 2, 1994. The first week of April 2010 also had highs in the 60s and 70s every day, making it one of the best Aprils in the city of Pittsburgh. Carly stated that besides her April birthday, she likes jumping in puddles, flowers, the weather, going to the beach, and Easter. But, she dislikes mud, snowing sometimes in April, taking exams, allergies, and ignorance. Alex stated that besides her May birthday, she likes love in the air, rainy days, spring clothes, longer days, and Mother's Day. But, she dislikes the weather changing back and forth, the season finale of TV shows, raining a lot in the month of April, yard work, and insects. So, there you go! 2 older friends from the previous stage of my life share their likes and dislikes about spring.
