Well its been a while eh. I just got home on Sunday from out west with Jenny. It was fucking awesome.

The first big place we went to was the Mall of America which was cool. There was a park in side the Mall it had roller coasters, water ride, and a ferries wheel! There was also a lego section and there were a bunch of huge things made out of legos. There was like a dinosaur, a person riding a dirt bike, a huge clock and a lot of other things but I don’t member. They also had over 500 stores. Including a Hello Kitty store, and a Peanut Butter Store (my two favorite things). So that was really cool. Oh ya and it had 4 FLOORS. Check it out http://www.mallofamerica.com/

The Second Big place we went to was South Dakota Badlands Nation State Park and Custer State Park. The badlands were really cool. Its like huge rocks everywhere and they look like sand kind of. It was really neat. It was really dry and scary because they have rattle snakes out there. Check it out http://www.nps.gov/badl/ After looking at Dakota Badlands Nation State Park we went to Custer State Park. Which was AWESOME. Most definitely one of my favorite places we went to. It was pretty much all fields and they were all filled with animals the first night that we went out looking for animals we saw 46 deer, 10 Mt Goats, about100 buffalo, 1 bunny and16 donkeys. They are all wild mind you. I got to pet the donkeys. They were cute. We also went to thunderhead cave it was need it used to be a mine has a underground water fall we expected more of it. Check it out http://www.blackhillsattractions.com/pages/attractions/thunderheadfalls.html. After that we went to Mt. Rushmore Cave. Which was very awesome. We got to go inside the cave and take a tour. It was 57 degrees inside the cave. There it was really pretty Check it out http://www.beautifulrushmorecave.com/

The Third Big place we stopped was Wyoming. In Wyoming there was Devils tower which was cool it was just a big rock, it was cool though. There was a trail around it that was like a mile! We hiked a lot actually over this whole trip. Check it Out http://www.nps.gov/deto/

The Fourth Big place we stopped at was Oregon! We got there pretty early in the afternoon so we got to do stuff. It was really pretty. We saw a lot of jelly fish on the beach (YAY) We also saw some elk yes I know weird that they were near the ocean but they wear, we also sea lions and seals. We also got to watch the sunset it was BEAUTIFUL. We also found Sand dollars and we could see live jelly fish (the other ones were dead on the beach). We walked on the beach and we walked like 2 miles almost.

The Fifth Big place we stopped at was CALIFORNIA. We went to the beach and we saw a lot of star fish and crabs and other cool things. The camp ground we stayed in was really pretty it has big as trees everywhere and it looked like the jungle. We were on a high road and we could see over the fog and it was like we were flying in a airplane it was cool. Jenny and I swam in the ocean and it was really warm compared to ours since the weather wasn’t even that hot when we were. The highest we saw in Cali near the ocean was 71. After we got away from the coast it went to 100 though so. The redwood forest was awesome the trees were huge. The Next place after the Redwood forest was still in Cali and it was the Lassen Volcano National Park. There did a major amount of hiking we did like 5 miles I think. We swam in a freezing river and there was snow up on the volcano, So we made a snowman.. We laid in the snow in out bathing suits hah it was funny. We went to the top and saw boiling mud and sulfur and stuff it was neat. The trail was called Bumpass Also when we were walking down the snowy part I skied like 30ft with my sneakers it was scary lol. Check it out http://www.nps.gov/lavo/

The Sixth Big place we stopped was RENO! We stayed in Boomtown and it was cool the arcade kind of sucked though. After that we went into Reno because Boomtown is right out side of it. So Jenny and I played in the arcade and we found 2 games we liked and we each won like 355 tickets it was awesome I got a hello kitty and a weird flower thing. It was kind of scary there. I think I thought it was scary because I never been to a place like that before. After all the game playing we went on a river walk and we saw an Scottish festival going on it was neat the music was cool. That was about it for Reno. Check it out http://www.reno.com/

The Seventh Big place we went to was the Colorado National monument. We went on a hike that was 6,000ft above sea level. We saw lizards, bunnies and a few prairie dogs. There were signs for the pelage how scary is that. Ya pretty friggin scary. Also there were friggin rattle snakes and junk. Also some little brat threw a rock at a Mercedes’ it was crazy.

That is pretty much the whole trip I’m sure I left out stuff but if I remember something really awesome ill be sure to add it in here. Oh ya and in Illinois there was dead chicken all over the road and it smelt so bad and so did the tires for like 3 days. Well this week hasn’t exactly been the best I guess. When I got home I hung out with my mom a lot. I have been spending a lot of time with Bailey and Chelsea. Also with Marshall when ever I get the time. I got a speeding ticket for being really stupid and now I need to come up with $240 in 30 days ya go me. So if you know anywhere that’s hiring let me know ASAP Anyways Glad to be home missed everyone
