Today was realy fun. We got ready the last final touches with our camping gear. Then we went on our way. After that we hauled most of the stuff in and dad set up a big lean to(I think that's how it's spelled) with a tarp, some rope, and some poles. Meanwhile, I started a camp fire and cooked lunch. and then it started raining! we managed to get all our stuff under the lean to(or at least I did, cause dad set up the tent.) we sat under the lean to and talked a little, and in about 20-30 minutes the storm was over. Then dad set up a little pole to lean our bikes on and we hauled the rest of the stuff out. After that he set up a little target for his pellet gun. We shot at the target for a while and then dad set up a little tepee like thing to hang the lantern on. then we shat at the target for a little bit longer and I told my dad how to cook dinner. We had some pretty good steaks for dinner and then we played Stratego. then we hauled our cots out from the tent under the stary skies and lied down. we talked a little and fell asleep.

Today (or rather, yesterday night, about six oclock,) I woke up, covered in dew. I got up, walked around a little, and went back to bed. At about eight oclock I woke up, had a granola bar for breakfast, and hopped on my bike (my dad did the same.) We rode down the path for about two minutes and turned down the Katy trail (did I mention that we camped by the Katy trail? well, we did.) we rode for about one hour thirty minutes, then we came to new franklin. We stopped, looked at the map, and rode on. After that, in about five minutes, we came to franklin, and rode right by it. We were just about to boonville when we saw a huge highway detour we had to take. We decided not to go up it, we looked around for another detour, we didn't find one, and we rode back to franklin. We saw some kids ridin their bikes on the street and we asked if their where any resteraunts around, she said there was one right by us, and a few in boonvile (were we weren't going,) but that was it. We checked out the first resteraunt she told us about, it was closed. We rode to new franklin, and noticed a man working on a lawnmower and his wife using a weed-eater to mow the lawn. We asked him where the nearest resteraunt was. He told us to go up the hill, take a left, and pretty much go back to franklin. He said that they had pretty good burgers. we rode up and went in my dad ordered a large glass of water and a chocolate milk, and so did I. After that dad ordered a double bacon cheeseburger with everything on it and some curly fries with cheese. ordered a cheeseburger with nothing on it and some curly fries. She (the waitress) brought it all out and I'm pretty sure dads was about a foot tall. I mean, it was tall, realy realy tall, realy realy realy tall(ect. ect.) it was a decent meal. I ordered a small bowl of ice cream for desert(I had seen a bowl of ice cream about three inches around,) but dad was to full. Then, when she brought out the ice cream, it was pretty good, but the bowl was almost as big as dad's burger! after that we rode an hour and a half back. we shot at some sticks in the water, played stratego and mancala, and then I cooked dinner. First, dad sauted some onions in a frying pan, then, I carmelized (poured water in and made it into a kind of sauce for the steaks) the onion juice. Then I put in the steaks. We cooked em' to about medium and pulled them out. Then I carmelized the juices and poured that in with the onions. Dad said it was the best steak he ever had in his life and the second best meal (His best was some chinese food in Rome,Italy.) After that we played another game of stratego, talked a little, moved our beds by the campfire, and fell asleep.

Today I was at threshing machine canyon. I I went rock climbing and found a pretty good place to climb so I started climbing up and as I was climbing I noticed some loose rocks near the top. They looked similar to a bunch of plates stacked on top of each other and jammed into the dirt. any ways, I was just abaut to the top and I pulled a few out and reached into the dirt but there was a landslide! I slid about twenty feet with my feet jammed in the dirt and my hands reaching for something to grab on to. Luckily my dad caught me as a shower of rocks coming down and only got a minor cut on the head to show for it.

Today there was a huge thunderstorm. There might of even been a tornado somewhere! It was extremely large, and seemed to last forever. I went to church, even though there was a storm. I also had a part in a chior play so I stayed for rehersal afterwards. A tornado siren went of so me and the other actors went to the basement to reherse. But no one was hurt (that I know of.)
