Today we got up โat 5:30. We tied up โ laces, snapped on backpacks, packed up the room, and KABOOM we were on are way to our first backpacking trip of the year. It is hard to believe how we still have so much to do in only 9 days. We have two mountains to climb, one night ๐ with the Stewarts and one more backpacking trip. Plus two more camping trips, two Kimptons and a holiday inn. The last one is boring but it is a night ๐ in Estes Park. I like ๐ to think while hiking. Today I thought about how much closer this trip has got me to my goal of being ranger. I like ๐ to look around and find๐ (random tomato) one โ thing that inspires me to keep going. Today it was the mountains knowing I could be at the top of every one someday. I also liked getting to go across the river. It makes me feel free.I love ๐ the feeling of the wind going through my short hair ๐and knowing nothing can stop โ me.ย
Our family always does safety first. Today we helped keep the animals and plants safe two ways. Number one โ half of the family pooped ๐ฉ today and we kept it in bags. This helps protect the environment. Also we stayed in the trail ๐ฃ when we saw a moose. We got to the hot ๐ฅspring. It felt so nice because we were all tired. It looked like ๐ an infinity hot ๐ฐ tub with gravel on the floor. Everything was nice but the gravel. We got back to camp and I was not feeling good again. We had a lazy hour and then a small dinner of beef jerk. Sorry this is late.๐ฉ๐๐๐ฝ๐๐๐๐๐๐ถ๐ต๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ฉ๐จ๐ง๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฃ๐ฎโบ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฏ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โ
