Storm's Essay, "Coyote Falls"

[misterx]

I found this while clearing her floor prior to vacuuming. She got a check-plus, A, and smiley face on it. I guess that's good. I'm transcribing it for your reading pleasure.

Coyote Falls
by Storm Teegarden

My Dad decided to take me, Jacob and Lorelei (Lor-Lie) to Coyote Falls. We did not see the path so we had walk through the forest. We thought it was going to be a huge waterfall. So we got going.

Just during the first mile I hit my head 8 times and got twenty scratches on me. When we were half way there we took a break. We had to drink lots of water 2/4 of it was gone when I got it. We could hear, smell, and almost see the waterfall. I looked up. All I could see were trees. So many trees.

In a minute I was off ready for more adventure. When I got to the bottom I was cramping all over my body. The waterfall was tiny. We traveled all that way to see a waterfall the size of a door! What a rip off. This sucks. All of a sudden I slipped and fell on my hip. And then my sister yelled at me! Life stinks. Then Jacob laughed at me for getting hurt.

I was so glad to get back up. It was amazing I was moving like a squirrel running away from a cat.

I meant to find the pictures to go with this, but for the life of me I can't find them on the server. Did I ever post pics from Coyote Falls?

She's how old now? That's pretty good writing! I've seen sixth graders who couldn't write as well as that, and she's in -- what -- third?

Thanks for sharing! :)

Can't recall if I've seen those pictures or not.

That is so cute.}:P

In all fairness, it was maybe not as wide as a door, but it was taller.

She's in third.

I am starting to think I didn't post them. How unlike me! I may have to dig them out at home and post them post-humorously* to go with this entry.

* Spelling appropriate, since it was amusing.

More like 4/5 gone, but they aren't that far along on fractions yet.

I get it! ;-)
