Every summer, I go hiking with my friends. We always camp in amazing
places. It’s awesome! We usually go to New Mexico. It’s hot there, and it
never rains. But this year, we’re camping in Alaska, and my dad’s here, too! In
the winter, there’s a lot of snow here. But it’s July now, and the weather is
A good.

Saturday, July 15

Today is the first day, and we’re really excited. The weather is hot and sunny, and I’m wearing shorts with my
hiking boots. Right now, it’s 6 p.m. and we’re cooking pasta for dinner. We eat pasta every evening
because it’s easy to cook!
Tuesday, July 18
It’s the fourth day and things aren’t good. We’re sitting next to the tent, and
I’m wearing a hoodie and a hat. You see, it’s very cold. We aren’t cooking
dinner right now. We’re chatting by the fire.
Friday, July 21
I’m sad because it’s the last day of our trip. It’s cloudy, but it isn’t raining. We’re B
camping near a river, and we’re fishing! This evening, we’re cooking a special
meal – pasta with fish!
