Granite Lake

 July 27 2018,
My family and I went on a 4 mile hike up a mountain in Packwood Washington. The terrain was very rocky and steep but it was lots of fun. The weather was nice, but there were a lot of annoying bugs. There were flies the size of quarters! We also saw some lizards, pretty birds, exotic frogs, and little mice. I had to carry a big hiking bag up, my dad carried my sister, my mom carried the bag with water and food, and my brother just did whatever. I loved it because everything so green and pretty.

The best part of the hike was by far the top. At the end of the hike there was beautiful Granite Lake surrounded by trees and jagged mountain tops. When we got there we ate and then went swimming. The water actually wasn't cold, it was like a nice swimming pool.  


It was lots of fun, got some exercise out of it, so that's always a positive.☺️More posts to come, hoping to do another photography post some time soon. 
Thanks for reading! Hope you have great rest of your day!

The Start of 2020.....

Wow, not only has it been FOREVER since I've done a blog post, but the start of this year has been a disaster (in my opinion). We started the year off with Australia being on fire. Thousands of acres of land and animals destroyed and killed. The fires lasted 210 days, officially being declared extinguished on February 12, 2020. It's estimated that 1 billion animals and at least 34 people were killed in those 210 days. Australian fire rages On January 3, 2020 a United States drone targeted and killed an Iran general, Qasem Soleimani, along with 9 other Iranian people. I do not know a lot about the actual events that happened between Iran and the United States, but eventually there were rumors spreading that World War III was going to start. It spread throughout social media like wildfire. Teens were saying there was going to be a draft and the world was going to fall into yet another war. It was a very confusing time in the United States.   Wreckage of the vehicle Q...

4th of July 2019

Yesterday was the 4th of July!!! YAY! Happy Birthday America! The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love the fireworks, the food, and just getting to hang out with family. When I use to live in the country of Prosser, my family always did our own fireworks show. But now that we live in city limits of Connell we can't really do much. Technically ALL fireworks are banned here, but that doesn't stop anyone from doing it. My entire neighborhood was lighting fireworks all night. I will admit that my family lit a few fireworks off, but no harm was done. You just cant really have the 4th of July without lighting at least one firework, even if it is illegal.... I also love just relaxing by a fire once all the crazy fireworks are done. Once its nice and calm and cool outside. I'd say just sitting by the fire and roasting marshmallows is a family tradition of mine for the 4th of July. Late night Marshmallow roasting in the back yard  But then getting up the next day...

2020 is... a mess

Since my last blog post, things have only gotten worse. We all thought things would be getting better by now, but its not looking that way.  May 25, the day George Floyd died. The day America snapped. The “Black Lives Matter“ movement has been around since 2013 with the shooting of Trayvon Martin, but has become a major thing over the past couple months. The people of this country, The United States of America, have had enough with racial injustice and police brutality. This country constantly talks about being “free” and that this is “the land of the free”. However, until EVERY race can live in this country equally, that statement is false. Something needs to be done, I’m tired of seeing Police abuse their power and people being killed simply because of the color of their skin. My generation, Gen Z, has the power to change the world. My Generation was raised on books and movies about overthrowing the government, and that’s exactly what we will do. Gen Z is the most racially divers...
