How I earn my ranger badges
Mrs I asked me how I get my ranger badges, here is what I told her.
Oh Wow, I had a lot of people ask me that. I have to fill out the special book and then do a special pledge with my right hand up. The booklet is different in every park. After the pledge they give me a patch and badge or in some places only the badge and in other places only the patch.
Sequioa and Kings Canyon
When we went to Sequioa N.P. the sequioas were amazing.
One day we went for a hike during the hike we saw a black bear eating berrys close to the trail and he/she was minding her/his business .
I found a grasshopper in the bathroom and when I picked him up he would not let me to take him off my hand.
I thought the place was so amazing I did not want to leave.

Yosemite
We went to Yosemite. It was cool because we had a neat campsite, it's name was White Wolf and I thought that was a really neat name. Our campsite had rocks good enough for me to climb on. One was so hard I had to figure out how to get up there. I got a new friend that couldn't get up there. He was at the campsite next to me. My friend Caitlin came up from San Francisco to Yosemite and we all shared a campsite.
While we were there Caitlin, my new friend, and I all played on the rocks. I also went on a 15 mile hike from White Wolf all the way to the valley of Yosemite. I swam in Yosemite Creek that goes to Yosemite Falls, we fed trout live ants and watched them pop up and eat them. On the last part, my mom fell. It was windy and steep and slippery. I felt scared because there was a cliff and I was really worried because it looked like her head went off the cliff edge but the real thing was she hit her head on a rock instead. We finished the hike at night time.
When Caitlin left we moved our camp to the valley and it was warmer there. Next we drove up to Glacier point and hiked a little to Illilouette Falls. At Illilouette Falls I thought it was neat because the river was pretty and fast. When we started hiking back up I had to jump from rock to rock and when my mom was about to do the rock she saw a dead deer between two rocks in the river. I think it got there because it was scared from an animal chasing it.
I swam in the rivers we went to. The rivers were cold but pretty and I had a lot of fun. I watched my mom paint in a meadow three times. I thought her art was nice. It was fun watching and I did homework.
When we left we went to Bishop to go backpacking.
I carried more than half the weight of my own self in my backpack. I carried food, clothes, my sleeping pad and bag. I also carried my headlamp, my stuffed otter and other stuff. The hike was 7 miles but it felt like it was 20 miles. It went up and we went by a lot of trees, lakes and bushes. I saw a bald eagle landing in a tree. I learned how to fly fish from my pal Doug. Five us went on that trip and we camped at Dingleberry Lake in the Eastern Sierras.
On the trip I earned my pocket knife, it's a real Swiss army knife. I can only use it when my mom is watching. I made tent stakes out of sticks. On the second night it rained and on the way up to the campsite, it hailed. When we hiked back down it rained a little bit.
Then we went back to Yosemite but on the way back I got a ranger booklet at Mono Lake. We stayed in Yosemite three more days and then we went to Kings Canyon and Sequioa National Park. I will talk about it next time.
