Flaming Gorge - Eliza’s Blog

Daddy and Mummy woke up at five o’clock in the morning and drove us to the forest while we were asleep in our beds. We slept for three hours until eight o’ clock and then we woke up and had breakfast in a big café. We started off on our own in the restaurant then a few more people came and more people came and more and more until the restaurant was full. Monty had one egg, Eliza had one egg and Daddy had two eggs and we all had some bacon and toast and hash browns. Mummy had a western omelette and Mima had a ham and cheese omelette. After breakfast we helped mummy find some camp sites.

First we found one near a really big lake that was very crowded and it had lots of boats there. But we all decided that it was a bit toooo crowded. So then we carried on and we had two more hours to get to a different campsite with a little pond and beautiful flowers around it and we went up to the top of the camp site but we thought it was a bit too crowded too.

So we carried on and had a half an hour drive to the first Bear Country camp site so we went inside and looked for some spaces, it was a bit crowded but um there were a few spaces though.
We had a little explore around the camp site and Mummy decided that it wasn’t such a good camp site because it wasn’t near water so we went on and had another half an hour drive to a brown sign and we thought it might have been a camp site, it was a very long drive down a bumpy track to the camp site and right at the end there were quad bikers and they were in front and one got stuck and then carried on behind us when his mates carried on without him so we let him past and we found out that his friends were waiting for him after all.

So we went on and saw free spaces and we saw a river right next to them and we parked our RV in the one that was next to the river but then we explored and walked to the pond and we saw reallllly cool place so daddy and Monty and Mima went to get the RV and me and mummy stayed by the space in case any body arrived. So daddy and Monty and Mima took aggggggges and me and mummy had enough to talk about all the things we saw on the holiday. It was really cold when we were talking so we started to run about in circles. Then finally Daddy and Mima and Monty came. And then daddy went past the bit were mummy wanted him to go and he went round to the other bit of the parking space and he parked there instead.

Then we put the yellow things under the wheels for our first time, it was cool. Daddy went forward a bit and he put the wheels on top of the yellow things and it stayed high.

So then we had a picnic which mummy made for lunch. Then we balanced on the fence and walked and we came to a path and the path was a walk so we followed the path and the path ended by the pond where the cows were.
There was lots of long grass there and it was as tall as Monty and Monty couldn’t see anything. We had to cross two rivers and we jumped over one and we went over a really wobbly bridge but luckily nobody fell in. When we passed the bridge we saw some footprints, mummy spotted some heron kind of footprints and deer footprints and Jemima found some cow footprints but we didn’t find any bears.

Mummy found some sticks in the pond so we all used them as spears. We carried on and there were lots if holes in the ground and we used our sticks as balancers. We balanced ourselves on them and Jemima used them to check if the cow poo was new cow poo or not by poking the stick in the crust.

Then we went on and climbed some rocks. Mummy and Monty were climbing rocks too, we stopped and saw an eagle flying around, it landed in the water so we thought it might be a fish eagle. There was a very smelly fishy smell so we tried to find a dead fish or fish bones that the eagle had dropped but we couldn’t.

And then we carried on and we went scrambling a bit on the rocks. While me Mima and Daddy were scrambling, Monty and Mummy found a hammer and a bear clue. Then mummy and Monty caught up with us so we all carried on and went to a bridge with a good rubber ring place to slide down. Daddy said it was a bit too rocky for a rubber ring ride so we decided that we maybe wouldn’t do it so that we wouldn’t pop our rubber ring. Then we had a stick race and Jemima’s stick won and Eliza’s was second and daddy’s was last. Mummy and Monty didn’t do it they were the judges instead of being a racer. Then mummy saw a really really big dandelion clock and me Mima Monty and mummy blew it out all together and we made a special little wish.

We came back to the RV and we lit a really big fire. First it started out as a teeny flame then we put some watery stuff on it that helped it light then me Monty and Daddy said that we should poke the fire and get our sticks on fire while Mummy was asleep because it was her special evening.

Then Monty decided to throw his stick in the fire because his stick didn’t go on fire but I kept mine in case it got really hot and then it managed to get on fire and that did happen. Mummy had a special grey stick that she thought she was going to burn but Monty asked if he could borrow it to poke with so mummy finally said yes and Monty and me got the fire going again. I put lots of wood in the big pocket of my stripey jumper that I got from the Scilly Isles. I put all the wood in the fire and the fire started going really well then Mummy joined in because she wanted to help and she was the best mummy in the world then because she got the fire going really really well with all the wood.

Then we made a special dinner for Mummy, the starter was chicken noodle soup it was very nice we drank it all up. Mummy said she had always wanted us to try it but we said no because we were being cheeky cheeky chip monks. Then we went back to the fire and the fire was out again and me and Monty got it working again and Daddy decided he wanted to cook steak so we cooked Mummy steak and the potatoes were nearly ready that had been put in the fire ages ago. The steak was ready really quickly and Daddy made it really nice for Mummy, Mummy enjoyed her special evening very much.

Then just before it was time to go to bed Daddy did a very very long wee on the fire and Monty did part of it too. It was really really funny and lots of smoke came up and it was smelly. Then we went to bed and we all fell asleep. The end.

Hope you enjoyed my blog.
