That’s right. Granola vacation. Canyoneering, rock climbing, rappelling, hiking, horseback riding, wading, and whitewater rafting — all in one week. Cuts, bruises, scrapes, sunburns, pulled muscles, sweat, shivers and sore feet — in seven days. And definitely one of my favorite vacations.

This past June, my grandparents took me, my brother and my two cousins on our 7th annual vacation. Previously, we staid in the states traveling as far as Florida (more posts to follow); however, last summer we went to Jamaica. It was the first time I had gone out of the country, so it was a new and exciting experience. In Jamaica, we went to an all-exclusive resort on the beach. It was an amazing time and quite educational on many levels… I met many people and danced most every night away at the teen club. I loved the ocean and the really hot weather, and I truly enjoyed reading The Hobbit in a hammock with white waves and sand at my feet.

After the trip in St. Louis, We caught the train to Texas to visit are old good friends. Here are the pictures.
In the train
On the track to Texas!!
I took this picture out of the back window.
This is the family we stayed with in Texas. (here are there names, starting from the top to the bottom and then to the left: Micah, Abigail, Me, Nate, Ally, Bryana, Shannon, Kim, Doug, Aunt Linda, Uncle Robert.)
They had 35 five goats when we came and 40 when we left! Here is me, Shannon and Bryana holding three baby goats named Apollo, Mars and Venus. They are sooooo cute!!!!!
Mars was my favorite!
One night the adults went out for dinner. We put on a ball for them when they came home. We all dressed up.
We got the boys to dress up too.
Heee Heee Heee
oooooooooooo Pretty!
Hands Up!!!!!!!!!
Since we were in the county, we got to ride in the back of the pick up truck some of the time. That was cool.
Well we were there, We made a Robin Hood movie. It was a lot of fun!!!! It is all most done.
We had a fancy Pre-Raphaelite tea party one day
They have a really big garden! It takes a long time to weed.
We went to this really shallow river called the Sulfur River. Uncle Robert caught a 2 foot long needle nose gar fish with his hands!
Hope you enjoyed the pictures.
