Glacier National Park

By -
We drove to Montana in our car, and our next stop was Glacier National Park. The glaciers were really small! But you could still see them. When I got the Junior ranger Badge, my mom started talking-well, showing off, really, and saying how many Junior Rangers I had, and the ranger asked if I was a Girl Scout, and I said yes, and then he went and dug in a closet to retrieve a Girl Scout Ranger Badge and a badge with a mountain goat on it.Then we drove to a corral, and there we rode horses. My mom had promised me we could ride horses. My dad doesn't like riding horses. My horse was named Winchester, but people call her Winnie because she's soft like a teddy bear like Winnie the Pooh. My dads horse was named Smooth, and my moms horse was named Moose. Before I got on, Winnie put her head on my stomach and rubbed her head on my stomach. Then, I got on, and we rode. We saw 2 coyotes. Then we went kayaking. The water was very cold. My moms horse tried to bite her and push her feet out of the stirrups. Next, we go to Washington!

Zada,
It sounds like you got the best horse. I'm glad. Also, someone needed to brag about all your Junior Ranger badges, they are VERY impressive, so if you weren't going to toot your own horn I'm glad your Mom did for you!
Love you loads,
Maurin

Hello Zada--Congratulations on receiving the Girl Scout Ranger Badge! It recognizes all your hard work and the wonderful support of your parents. Great Grandma Jones, Grandma Quentin, and Aunt Nancy were all Girl Scouts and none of them ever got the Ranger Badge. You can be very proud of that unique achievement in our family! Sounds like you had a lot of exciting adventures in Glacier National Park.--Love, Uncle Dave, Aunt Nancy, and Kahlua

I have been wanting to cut my hair for a while now but I couldn't because then my hair wouldn't go up in a bun for my ballet classes. But when the last ballet class was over on Wednesday I finally got my hair cut. I decided to donate my hair to Locks of Love. They make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to illness. There were more than 15 inches to donate. Here is the "before" picture: Here is the "after" picture: I did not expect my hair to be as short as my grandma's dachshund. It feels wierd to have short hair again.

July 22, 2008 We got into a moving gondola and were lifted off the ground and saw sheep and a luge ride tracks and trees and everything else you can imagine that would be on a mountain. When we got to the top I made a delicious mess of a popsicle/ice cream. Then me and my dad got on a ski-lift, helmets on, one pair of eyes closed. You can guess who that was, right? Correct! Me! We (me and my dad) got our instructions and were off. Before the first bend, I ran into the gravel and the lady had to run over and help me out. After that, the rest went pretty smoothly. After that, we went to Puzzling world. Am I holding up this building? We (again me and my dad) went into the maze and then into the illusion room with a golf ball that ran up, a room where I shrank, and staring dead people. We took videos, pictures and other things and then took to our campground. July 23, 2008 We drove to 4 waterfalls and found giant trouts and numerous pretty rocks. We went over a swing bridge to the “Blue Po

Finally, a few minutes to use the computer!

July 4, 2008 Last night, we went to bed early, but my parents woke me up at 11:00 PM! We drove to Dallas in the rental car, known as the “dork mobile”. (My family called our rental car that.) We hated that giant, maroon, Californian car. Anyways, I got SO tired that I fell asleep on the duffle bag. If you want MY advice, never fall asleep on a duffle bag, especially if it is filled with hiking boots. If you want to be comfortable, that’s good advice. When we got to Dallas, we returned the Dork Mobile and went to the airport to get on the plane “United”. That flight was VERY exciting! First, there was a mechanical issue, then there was a medical issue and the plane was like a bouncy, covered roller coaster, meaning lots of turbulence. The views were incredible! We flew over southern Utah and saw Lake Powell and hundreds of canyons. I also saw mountains with snow stil
