Jadon’s Adventure in the Mountains:

We went to a really grand ski hotel in Gridwood. We hiked on a trail with lots of bridges. There were so many creeks. We crossed a river with a hand tram. I was scared and excited at the same time. I, also, crossed a log to cross a stream. We just had pizza. Now we are driving home.

Rivers:

Today we went on a trail called Winner Trail at a ski resort called Alyeska. The first part of the trail didn’t have any bridges or creeks. Then after that we ran into a creek with a big log over it. I wanted to cross the log but I didn’t. After that we saw really long bridges. We counted how many creeks there were. We counted more then seven. We saw a really huge bridge. It was like rail road ties, but they had holes in them. It went across a river. The river was really cool because it had some small rapids and wound its way about. Ever time the path went across the river you can see different spots of the river. Another time we saw another bridge. It wasn’t as cool as the first one, but it had a really cool waterfall underneath it. The waterfall was cool because it split and then came together. The next cool spot we saw was the hand tram. That went across a river. Dad had to pull a rope to pull us across. We hopped in the cart to go across the river. It was really cool. At the end of the trail I was tired. Once I got pizza I wasn’t as hungry.

Winner Trail:

Just went on Winner Trail and I have the hiccups. I saw so many waterfalls and bridges. We went a on trail that had lots of sticks. We saw lots of mountains and a ski lift. We went on the hand lift to cross the river. I thought it was so cool. Esther, Jadon, and Daddy went with me. We had to wait for Mommy to come with Daddy. I walked across a log to cross a stream. We went out for pizza afterwards.
