Washington Coast
Last week our adventure ed class went to the washington coast for 5 days. We started on saturday and went to wednesday. The first day we got there we had to hike in the dark with heavy packs for about 4 miles. My worst hike in my life only because it was dark and slippery. The next day I think we hiked 5 miles it was easier because it wasent dark. The fourth day we had to hike in the rain and wind we saw some otters and a sealion. We saw another one but it was dead. That night we ate oysters and clams we found on the rocks. Our last hike was a easy 3 miles hike on a wood board walk. I was glad to get home to a nice warm house in a warm bed. My coolest hike yet with all the sea life we saw.

Steven pass
For my b-day my family and my friends family went to Leavenworth on winter break. When they got tons of snow. We played in the snow outside our hotel sledded had snow ball fights.The best part was when me my dad and my friend went to Steven's pass to snowboard and ski. When we got there it was raining but once we got on the lifts and went higher it started to snow . We got off the lift buckled into my board and went tearing down the mountain a trail of powder behind me. I fell a couple of times but it was fun ether way. We went down about 10 more times till about 3 when we where sopping wet from the snow and rain.Then we took our wet stuff off and drove back to the hotel. Then went in the hot tub my best b-day yet.
