Over the holidays, my family and I went on a road trip, visiting five different National Parks. At Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, we took a long hike into a canyon and got to see a beautiful water fall. It was similar to the water fall hike we did over last summer at Hanging Lake in Colorado. We also spent time in Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas where we got to bottle fresh spring water straight from the ground! It was super hot and hard to carry. My dad had to carry the water jugs on one finger and kept having to take breaks to let his fingers cool down. In Kentucky, we went to Mammoth Cave National Park and there were little creatures that looked like spiders but they were actually related to cave crickets. That was a great and fun trip!
Now we’re back at home and in school, and I’m very excited about turning 7 tomorrow!
