Camping:
We like camping. "E" thinks
that it is more fun the day that
you get the campsite. The day that you wake up and have to go home
or continue your vacation makes you feel too rushed. When you wake
up the next day it is cold. You have to get dressed in your small
tent, but camping is still real fun. "E" likes rocky campgrounds,
campgrounds with woods, or a stream so that she can have a lot of
fun. Sitting by a campfire roasting marshmallows is real fun.
Sometimes our mom tells
scary stories and really scares us. I, "M",
get really scared when I hear
animals
walking around the campsite. I don't know what to do. One of
the best parts of camping is playing at the campsite.
Snowshoeing:
"E" says
snowshoeing
can be fun if you are climbing a mountain with
skiers and snowboarders
zooming past. Rent them
at Glacier National Park, for a weekend snowshoe walk in winter.
Snowshoeing is a very beneficial sport. It keeps your legs fit. The
outdoors and fresh air of Montana will also keep you in good health.
So, get out there and snowshoe through the deep snow of Montana.
Get a
Junior Ranger badge: You can get one at the State Parks
or Glacier National Park. All you have to do is do some fun
activities like identifying plants and animals. Then you can receive
your badge. It is a fun thing for children of all ages. At
Lone
Pine, remember to check the park's yearly plan for activities to
make sure that you can participate when you are there.
Ice skating:
It's fun, and also easy to learn.
You
can go fast, but try not to fall! "M" says that she likes ice
skating in a place that is not crowded. If you do skate in a crowded
place, go with traffic. It'll make your time nicer if you do. Tips
for ice skating:
Keep yourself on
the tops of your skates
Try to skate
slowly at first
Don't get too
rambunctious
Do not try to do
fancy stuff when you can't skate well
Use these tips, but have fun!
Huckleberry
Picking:Huckleberry
picking is the most fun if you pick the huckleberries instead
of just taking a mostly boring hike, saying the hucks aren't
abundant enough! The blue berries called huckleberries are very
similar to blueberries in taste and looks. You may find yourself
climbing up a hillside to cocciferous plants to pick and eat huckleberries. You may
even encounter a bear! Then you'll know
the time is right to utter those dreadful words: This ain't good...
I hope the bear wants to eat ourhuckleberry pancakes more than it wants to eat you!
Fishing:
Fishing is fun, especially if you catch a fish.
In my experience
big fat worms usually work best. I've caught
rainbow trout and they taste pretty good.
Vegetable Gardening:
Weed your garden
every week to keep the plants healthy. Why? When weeds come too
close
to your plants, they will want to stay alive. The weeds will take
the nutrients from your valued plant. An easy garden to grow may
contain: tomatoes, green onions, bell peppers, beans, carrots, and
lettuce. We buy our tomatoes and bell peppers from a nursery where
some people have already gotten the plants started growing. Plant
your vegetables in neat rows so you can walk around your garden and
weed easily. Planting from north to south is recommended so the
plants will get the most sunlight.
Cherry Picking:
"E" says that cherry
picking off of cherry trees is fun. "M" got tired of cherries because
she ate them so much, but "E" loves cherries. Try our yummy
cherry pie recipe while you are still here on our website.
Tip: If you don't have a pit removal tool, try using a paper clip to
remove those stubborn pits.
Sledding: M
& E love sledding. We sled at the same place where we fish
or at another nearby park.
When a good amount of snow gets on the ground, we drive over to the
local sledding hill. We sit onto our sleds, and zoom down the
hill. Sometimes we hit holes, and fly up into the air.
Going back up is tough, especially when the hill is icy. Sledding is
a fun pastime in winter.
