Salmon, Letterboxing, and Lake Sonoma


SILAS SAYS: When we were going to the Salmon place I was so excited, but actually what I wanted to happen did not happen we did not get to fish.We still had so much fun. And in the first place when we were looking at these tiny salmon jumping there was this lady and she said that if you went up the hill, through the building, down and around you would get to this place where there were little waterfalls in the water. Every once in awhile at a waterfall you would see a big salmon trying to go up or stay up. When we were first getting there there was an Osprey that someone was holding right out in front of the building. There was an Osprey at the Salmon Festival because they found it hurt and probably laying on the ground. And Osprey actually eat salmon that is why they brought it to the festival. While my dad and his friends were listening to what the lady was saying about the Osprey, me and the kids went to this other place right behind them and you got to spin this wheel and it landed on something that uses water. And then the guy asked you a question about what it landed on. If you answer the question right then you get a coloring book, a book about salmon, a pencil, a shower head, or a shower timer.

And in that whole weekend we found six letterboxes. The last one we found was really fun be cause we had to use our imagination and they said a bunch of rocks were a trolls home. And they said this tree that was bent was a serpent. The people we were hanging out with were named Ben and Jeremy. When we went to their house it was fun because the had a lot of gumballs. Pretty much all we did when it wasn't breakfast, lunch, or dinner, we chewed gum. Right when we got to their house, Ben talked about planes, and he said every single plane's name like GX48 Extra or something.

We went to our friends gramma and grampa's house. When we were there we watched a football game. I was so close to winning $25 dollars, but my friend Noah beat me by five seconds.


JASPER SAYS: I thought it was really fun at the salmon hatchery because we got to see salmon that were three foot long. I liked letter boxing because the stamps were really cool. When we went to Ben and Jeremy's house, I had a fun a fun time because we played with Nerf guns and played their flight simulator. I liked the Super Bowl party at Jim and Judy's house because I could have won $25 dollars and the game was really exciting. Even in the game there was a dog pile of grown men. I really liked my weekend.
