How to Walk Safely (by William, after watching Jiminy Cricket, I am No Fool, Pedestrian)

You are a pedestrian and pedi means foot, trian means on.  There are many people who walk a lot, and here are some examples: mailman, soldier, and you. 


Please consider the following rules for walking safely:  Do not go around parked cars or walk across the traffic.  Remember at night you can see the cars but they can’t see you, so it’s a good thing to wear white.  Don’t dart out into the street and make sure the cars are stopping before you continue to cross. 

If you follow those rules then you will certainly live up to 103.

Camping in the Desert (by William)

I went to Joshua Tree National Park for camping with my mom, dad, aunt, and uncle during Spring Break.

We hiked the Warren Peak trail in the Mojave Desert, and I almost got to the top of Warren Peak until it was too windy and I gave up together with my mom. Dad and Uncle went to the peak.

When we got back to the campsite, I ate a few marshmallows immediately, then my mom cooked noodles and vegetables.  When it got dark, I shone the flashlight up to the dark sky and toasted some marshmallows.  I was worried that I might not get any sleep when we went inside the tent because the wind was blowing on the tent with loud flapping sound, and the neighboring college kids were talking.

I slept like a log.  The next morning I drank water from my water bottle but it was icy cold.  We left my mom in the tent because she needed more sleep, and went into Yucca Valley to get breakfast.  When we got back to the campground, I served my mom some food.

I liked toasting the marshmallows the best, but didn't like the hiking that much.  I want to go camping again.
