The first thing we did was go to the aquarium. My favorite part was going to see the sharks. They were very cool. There were 5 of them. I also thought there were 6. I saw some jellyfish and lots of different kinds of seahorses. My favorite kind of seahorse was the red horses. Mommy’s favorite sea horse was the sea dragon. And we had lots of fun. It was very fun to touch lots of things at the aquarium. The butterflies in the butterfly garden were soooooooooooo pretty.
Up next, we went to our cabin at (Tim’s Ford State Park). We checked in. We lived in number 3. The first thing that we did is unpack and then ate. The next day, we went to Savage Falls where we went on a hike. It was fun. I got to go across the bridge at Savage Falls. It was very much fun. I got in the waterfall. It was cold at first, but then I got used to it. After that, I got discouraged because I fell on a rock. It hurt, but Poppa helped me up and I kept on swimming. The water felt good on my boo-boo. Poppa stood under the waterfall.
On Wednesday, we woke up and went to the market (Swiss Market-Mennonite Grocery). It was cool. We bought gummy bears, a gummy hot dog, and cheese. (whispering) Mom, we forgot to buy the honeycomb for Poppa. That same day, we went to Jack Daniel. It was fun but smelly. I didn’t like the smell. Jack Daniel got mad and kicked his safe thing because he couldn’t open. He couldn’t remember the code. So he kicked it with his foot. His toe broke, and they had to cut it off. Then he lost his foot. Then his ankle. Then all of his leg. They gave him a metal leg and that’s what we remember. It was very fun. Doc and KK came to stay at the cabin with us. It was nice to see them.
The next day, KK, Mommy, and me went to Weaver’s Point on my bike. It was very pretty. I threw sticks out into the lake. Then we kept on going and came back. When we came back, I was tired out, but I still had enough energy to swim. The pool was fun. I jumped off the diving board into 12 feet. The pool was huge. That night I went fishing with Poppa and Doc. I caught lots of fish in the evening and I even got to eat a moon pie while I was in the boat. We got splashed by a wave. It was cool!
The fifth day, we woke up and Sam and Noah came! We had an evening bike ride. Sam and I rode way ahead a lot. Mommy ran to keep up with us. It was very fun. Also that day we got to go swimming with Sam and Noah. Sam and I jumped off the diving board. Noah couldn’t jump off the diving board because he was wearing his floaties and floaties can’t be worn on the diving board. Sam and I jumped a few times and then went to play with Noah. We also played on the playground. It was fun.
The next day, Sam, Noah, and I were going to the pool, and we had a storm. A bad storm. Sticks fell. The leaves from the trees were all falling down. We lost air (power). We almost had to leave the cabin, but while we went for a bike ride, the air came back on. On the bike ride, Sam and I were very ahead again. Mommy drove the car over to the bike trail where we were waiting for her so that we could ride the rest of the way to the cabin. When we got back, Sam and I split a bagel. Noah got back (from his bike ride),and we played. We went on an environmental hike where we picked up trash. We found a lot of trash!
The next day was the last day, and it was sad. We got all packed up and cleaned up the cabin nice and neat. I was very sad to leave. We got to let out the worms and crickets (that we had been using as bait). We picked them up and looked at them and played with them. It was fun, fun, fun!
My favorite thing about vacation was seeing Sam and Noah and helping the world be a better place by picking up the trash. That helps the deer and I saw lots of deer. I even saw a pregnant deer. I also saw a fox and a bunny. They were very pretty. There were lots of woodchucks.
