CAMPING TRIP

There was this family who loved to go out and camp in the mountains and explore the forests. So they decided to go for a camping trip outside of Anchorage in the mountains by Mt. McKinley.

When they got there they started unpacking and putting their tents up and getting ready to eat.They had to do this before they went mountain climbing. When they were ready they started up a steep mountain where they took some pictures of some mountain sheep on the other mountain. When they reached the half point they started down again because it was too far togo all the way up. When they reached the ground they saw a bear eating up their food on their little table.They waited until the bear left to go and pick up the cooking pot and dishes.

So the people learned their lesson not to leave food on the table when they take a walk. Now the father said, "There, we have to go back because we hardly have any food left. We can come back another time,maybe next week. But this time we won't stay unless they get rid of the bears. We just can't have them stealing our food again."
