Home Sweet Home

I just got back from camping at Nugget Lake.  Do you ever think about why Nugget Lake is called "Nugget Lake"?  Well, Eric told me.  Here's the story.  Long ago a meteor hit the earth right here at Nugget Lake.  The powerful force caused a wall of solid rocks to slide off of the flat form into a giant hunk of  sharp rock hanging on for dear life (it's call the Under Looks).   The secret, or why it's called Nugget Lake is because when the meteor shriveled up into dust, it left lots and lots of gold nuggets.  Still today folks find gold here.  So that's the story.  At the campground they had an amphitheater. An amphitheater is a regular piece of white cardboard standing up on two pieces wood.  Then you take a projector and you put the movie on the screen.  We watched the movies called "A Dog's Life".  "Grizzly Bears".  And "Some Feet Have Noses".  And do you know what's really weird?  One of my best friends was going camping at the same place!  And do you know how I noticed that she was there?  Well, I was riding down the little hill at top speed, and then boom!  There goes a little girl across the rocky gravel.  I slam on my breaks.  Then I scan her head to toe.  Same hair, same sunglasses,  I saw her wear that dress before, "Ella (her little sister, 6)?" "Zoey?"  Then I look across the road, and I see Olivia.  "Olivia?" "Zoey!" she cried. "I can't believe that we are camping at the same place that's so cool!" she said  "I know! I'll come see you in a few hours." I replied. I turned my bike around.  "See ya!" I called. And I started back towards my campsite.

We're going camping!  I'm going with my mom, my dad, John and my doggy, Charlie.  We're also going with our camping buddies- Adults-Eric, Kayna, Scott and Heather.  Kids-Avery, Daikon, Sidney, and Anna.  We're going to blast some fireworks, roast some giant marshmallows, throw water balloons and much, much, more!  The campsite's called Nugget Lake.  We've all got our clothes packed, toys packed, and food packed.  We'll be gone from Wednesday, 4th of July, Friday, Saturday to Sunday.  There's lots of hiking and biking trails, so we're bringing bikes and helmets, and tennis shoes.  It's going to be super-duper fun!
