The Great Big Long Hike






Yesterday I went on a very long hike. It was fun. My uncle and cousins went with me. There was a lot of sword grass and there was some mud that sank when you stepped into it. The sword grass cut my skin and it hurt!!! And it stung!!!! Most of the time I was talking to my cousin Rain. We stopped to have breaks and ate snacks like chips, pretzels and water and we stuck our pretzels into the dirt so that we could remember our trail back. We went to some waterfalls called Lonfit Falls and me and my cousins Rain and Seth played scientist. We took my empty waterbottle and filled it up with water and pretended that the water could give you superpowers if you touched it. We also found little boogery pieces in the water. My mom said they weren't boogers but algae. We pretended to sneezed them out of our noses. We saw a crab, some grasshoppers and some small turds from an animal but we didn't know what kind of animal it came from! We got very dirty and had really dirt feet. the end!!!!
