GIRLS

Me, Rachel, and Elle just had a sleep-over. Elle is Rachel's sister. Rachel brought a bunch of make-up and Michelle let us borrow some of hers. So, we did make-overs. It was really fun. Afterwards, we took pictures. The next morning, we did more make-up. We all kindof did our own. We helped each other a little bit. I kept wearing my make-up until the mascara started bothering me. But it was really fun having my friends sleep over.

found

On Monday 29th I found a baby preying mantis at the Ibis. When we found it I was with Michelle. It was going in circles. It wouldn't stop going in circles. We realized that one of its eyelids wasn't opening. It didn't open it until the next day. It was pretty cool and so I took it home. I kept it the rest of that day and the next day too. Well, I actually kept it part of the next day. We let it go in our backyard by a tree. I dumped all the stuff out of the jar that we kept him in, by him.

Hiking in Spooky Slot Canyon with Mom and my step-dad John

Devil's Garden Arch with my mom

Escalante

I went to Escalante and camped there . My mom, John and I hiked a lot . We left Wednesday evening and camped at Sunglow in Torrey, Utah. The next day we drove to Fruita and saw the fruit orchards. And also saw Capitol Reef. We drove to Escalante and we hiked to Lower Calf Creek Falls and waded in the water. It's three miles there and three miles back. We set up camp near Ecalante on the Smoky Mt. Road and had dinner, roasted smores, and went to bed.

July 4th, 2008. The next day we got up and went to the slot canyons. We hiked two miles down to the slots and went through one of them named Spooky. I also saw dinosaur tracks and went to Devil's Garden. It is really cool because you can climb all over the rocks. My mom and I climbed on top of an arch and John took a picture of us. We were so exhausted that John treated us to dinner at the Cowboy Blue's Restaurant, we then drove around and looked at farms.

The next day it was rainy, so we went to the BLM Visitor Center, the trading post, and to a thrift store, where I bought a teddy bear. It was raining hard so we packed up and drove back to Salt Lake.
