A couple of days after school got out my family and I went camping. We were going to go to Cuilnguq with my uppa Frank Coffee but we didn't have enough gas to go there. Instead of going to Cuilnguq we followed Camille to the place where we went with him two years ago. On the second day my uncle Roy and his family joined us. I also went commercial and subsistence fishing in June and July. This year we did better than last year partly because the prices were higher than last year.

With most of the money I made from fishing I went to Bethel for the Fourth of July. We went to Bethel on the third and we came back on the fifth. The same day we went over to Bethel, Bo-Boy went over too. On the Fourth of July it was really hot. BoBoy and I felt really lazy, so we stayed in his auntie Mary's and played Nintendo. We were so lazy we didn't even go to the fair. On the fifth we came back to Marshall in the morning. My uppa had gone subsistence fishing, and when he came back we had to bring all of the fish up to the fish house so my grandma could cut them.

My dad's big boat broke down this summer and he bought a littler boat from George Owletuck. I went someplace almost everyday in the new boat. Mostly I went rod and reeling up in Wilson or Willow but sometimes I went up to Kuiq. I also went to Devil's Elbow and over to Owl Slough to go black bear hunting. But I never even saw one bear this summer.
