Cape Flattery and Macaw July 6

Hola, it's me again. I am going to tell you about what I did today. Today me and my family went on a
walk in Neah Bay which is 

the most northwestern part of the USA. When we got there, me and Nathan had to go to the toilet.
When I opened the door to the women's bathroom it was disgusting, absolutely awful. So I held it
in for the walk. Before we started the walk there was this 

information board that had lots of information about the walk on it. There were also sticks that the
park rangers had found and they decorated it with string and made it so that you can use them on
the walk for free. Or you can pay five dollars or more to keep the 

stick. On the way to the end of the trail, me and Nathan sang Christmas songs. When we got to a
lookout we saw a type of rare bird called Murres that nest in the cliffs. When we got to the top
we saw an island with a lighthouse on it. Apparently somebody stole the light from inside the
lighthouse so they had to buy a new light. The walk was on the Macaw Indian Reservation. After
the hike we went to their Native American museum and learned about there history. Over all it was a
fun day. 

Hoh Rainforest

Hi it's me again, I am going to tell you about what I did yesterday. Yesterday, we went to the Olympic National Rainforest. We did a couple of hikes, well they weren't really hikes, they were more like walks. We didn't do a hard hike because we needed to have a rest from the past two days of nonstop hiking. The three hikes that we did were: (1) 'The Hall of Mosses' (2) 'Ruby Beach' and (3) 'Kalaloch Beach'. Before we went on the first walk, we attended a ranger program and learned about Elk. On 'The Hall of Mosses' walk, we picked wild blueberries, wild salmonberries, wild huckleberries and wild blackberries. The Hall of Mosses had moss all over the trees. The second walk was Ruby Beach. It had huge sea stacks, tide pools with sea stars, sea anemones and mussels in them. Me, mum, Nathan and dad tried to make a bridge across a little stream on the beach. The third beach was Kalaloch Beach and we sat on the rocks and did our junior ranger booklets. Just before we were going to leave we saw a seal's head pop out from underneath the water. Then we went on a 2 minute walk to see the largest Cedar Tree in the world. Over all, it was a nice relaxing day. See you next time.

Sunrise Point

Hi there, I am about to tell you about the hike that I did two days ago. The hike two days ago was at the Olympic National Park near Port Angeles in Washington State, America. The name of the hike was the Switchback Trail to Kalhane Ridge and Sunrise Point. It was a magical experience for me. First we walked up the steep Switchback Trail to the mountain ridge. When we got to the ridge line some mountain goats followed us along the trail. The ridge line trail was very narrow and steep, so we had to walk single file. Then we walked along the ridge toward Sunrise Point. There were beautiful wildflowers all different colours such as pink, orange, yellow, violet, indigo, red, blue, purple, soft pink and peach. On the way, we stopped to take photos with the Olympic Mountains in the background on one side of us and a view into Canada on the other side of us. We stopped for lunch on a hill not that far away from Sunrise Point but the view was spectacular so I wondered how much better the view could be from the top. For lunch mum, dad and Nathan had PB and J sandwiches and cheese, crackers, strawberries and Oreos, whereas I only had cheese, crackers, strawberries and Oreos. After lunch we made our way to Sunrise point. The view from the top was amazingly spectacular--you wouldn't even know how mind blowing and beautiful it was.

After that at 9 pm we went down to the downtown area to see the fireworks for the 4 of July ( America's Independence Day). As the fireworks exploded in the sky you could see many beautiful colours of red, white, blue, purple, gold, silver, orange, green and many more amazing colours. Over all, it was an extraordinary day full of excitement and experience. Bye--and see you next time!

                                                                                                   

          

Mount Ellinor Trail

Hi again, I am in America for a holiday over school break. The place that I am in in America is Washington State. Two days ago me and my family went on a hike up a mountain called Mount Ellinor 

Trail. The hike is in the Olympic National Forest. We only did half of the hike though. What we did is we drove half way up the mountain and then hiked the rest of the way up. We hiked 1 and a half miles up to the top, witch was 2400 feet in elevation gain. On the way up there was snow! Lots and lots of snow!

Dad took a photo of me and my brother Nathan on a rock in the middle of a huge spot of snow.The views from half way up were spectacular so I couldn't wait to see view from the top. When ever we saw someone coming down from the top we asked them if they if they had seen any mountain goats. Everybody we asked said that they had seen them and I couldn't wait to see them my self. As we walk further up the trail the more snow we saw. Eventually we reached the spot where the mountain goats were. We saw a lot of adult goats but there was one baby goat. It was so cute and fluffy. There was a lookout near where the goats were. To get to the lookout we had to cross a giant snow field. For lunch we had cheese, crackers, strawberries and raspberries. When we got down from the rock that we had lunch on dad got trapped because the goats wanted to go on the rock that we were on. He had to wait for them to pass until he could come down. On the way to the top me mum and Nathan played " I went to the shop and I bought".... . When we got to the top we saw chipmunks and me and a goat had a starring competition. The views were amazing more than amazing not even the best of words can describe how mind blowing and beautiful it was from up there.

There's A Monster In My Bedroom

This is my Storybird for " There's a Monster in my Bedroom"  The way that Storybird works is that you can make poems, picture books and chapter books. Every week Koka Ngaire gives us a set task to make poem or a picture book. For the poems she gives us set words to make the poem out of. I hope you enjoy my poem. See you next time.
