Week 18 "Treasure"


I have always loved to collect random things that usually are quite small but bring me large amounts of joy. 

Factory mistakes are something that I love, especially the “Red Bird Southern Refresh Mints” mistakes. They often come in a container and are individually wrapped. I find them often at restaurants as one goes out the door.

It was time to go tubing, one of my favorite activities at camp.

Years ago, my friend Ethan told me that sometimes he had dreams where the events that happened in his dream actually happened in real life. I thought he was exaggerating the truth as most third-graders do until it happened to me.

When my grandpa was in fifth grade he and his father decided to plant a Red Maple tree in their backyard in Missoula, Montana.

Sunsets in Montana are stunning.

My dog has a super dance. No you did not read that wrong. My dog is a beagle and every morning he barks and runs all around the yard. When we got him we had a very long argument about what to name him.

The first time I saw Clover was in a picture. Since we had been added to the past fosters list we got first pick on puppies. We fell in love immediatly with her chocolate fur, warm hazel puppy eyes, and marshmallow sprinkled belly. She was adorable!

One day while skiing in vermont, a couple kids and I were sliding down a snowbank while waiting for the bus the arrive.
