One of the first fun things that I did was go hiking. The first hike we did was a hike up Rock Creek. My Auntie Lynn came on that hike with us. We saw three lakes in total. One of the lakes had golden trout in it. From way up high they looked really pretty. Another one of the lakes had a little waterfall that was flowing into it; that was really cool to see. The last lake we saw had a little bridge. It crossed over the creek that was running into the lake. Auntie Lynn, Mamaw and I took our picture on it. It was a super fun hike. We also took Darby my aunt’s dog. She had a lot of fun too.
The other hike that we did was just Mamaw and me. This time we hiked up to a lake called Grass Lake. It was a little bit harder than the hike up Rock Creek. It was up a big hill. I counted 25 switchbacks. When we got to the top the lake looked beautiful! I walked down to the waterfront and caught a frog! It was such a small little frog. We also saw a tiny little water snake! I think I liked that hike better.
When Mamaw and I weren’t doing anything, we would watch T.V. That is one of the cool things that we get to do when we go visit her since we don’t have cable in Mexico. Two of our favorite shows are House Hunters and America’s Got Talent. The night Papa (my grandpa) came up with some friends, we stayed up watching T.V. until midnight waiting for them. The next morning I slept in till 10:30!
Another thing we did was go down town. Down town we would go shopping and eat. One time we went and got shaved ice! I also got my hair cut and a pedicure. I would say going down town is one of the best parts of staying with my grandma.
One of the best things I did these past weeks was go to the Bishop Fair. Cardinal Village is a little store and café right down the street from my grandma’s cabin. Anyways the family that owns it has three boys and they took me down to the fair. We got these wristbands so that we could go on all the rides. My favorite ride was the Zipper. It’s like a bicycle chain but connected to the chain are theses cage like chairs. You sit in the chair and the chain rotates and so does your seat. You can do so many flips! The cool thing was that I got to meet and get to know a lot of kids.
Next time I come up to the Sierras I know that I will have a lot of fun with all of those kids. I am so glad that I got to come up here all by myself to spend some alone time with my grandma. I had a great time!
