When we just got to the park, we were in the driveway, and Rowan said, “Look! There’s an Indian lady!”

But it was really Miss Blessing’s niece.

Then we settled in. We had to gather some big rocks so Mr. Huebner could build the fire. Then the park ranger set out a tarp so we could sit on it without getting our bottoms wet. They talked about hawks, bear, and owls. Those were really cool.

We went hiking, and we got bags and gathered nature stuff for our sculpture. For my group’s sculpture, we built a teepee on a tree.

Then we had lunch. We had squirrel, bobcat, turkey, and venison. We worked on our sculpture some more after lunch.

Then we split into two groups. In my first group I put my waterproof boots on. We went in a river and looked for water bugs.

Then my group went to the worship by the falls station. It was a great time! I used watercolor paint. I made me on a grassy plain area. At the exact same time, I played a flute. At the end, on the way down the hill, I fell down at least five rocks.

I want to remember when we went with Anthony’s dad to get big tree branches about ten feet long to use to build a camouflage sculpture. It was so tall, we could fit in like a tipi against the tree. We could hardly wait to eat lunch so we could build more!
