Tom Sawyer Camp (by William)

In the past two weeks, I have been going to TSC. To my point of view, it is very very fun.  It is in the Hahamongna Watershed Park close to NASA-JPL.  These are the activities in TSC.

Horseback riding is a calm activity.  All of the horses have names, for example, Lee, Huggy, Sugar, Pepper, Mack, and Max.  Yesterday at the horseback riding, I learned how to go up and down slopes.  When I got to the bottom of the slope, Huggy, the horse in front of me started to pee.  “Potty break!”  Shouted a horse staff.  When Lee, the horse what I was on saw Huggy peeing, she started to pee too.  “Double potty break!”  Shouted the horse staff.  After that I just couldn’t stop laughing.

In TSC we do a lot of hiking.  My favorite hike so far was hiking in the Angeles National Forest to a waterfall.  During the hike, we were warned about poison oak (a plant) and what it looks like.  I also saw deer.  When we reached the water, the kids including me tried to catch tadpoles using caps and hands.  After a while of observing, we released the tadpoles back to the wild.  When I got home I told my grandpa my hike and he said, “Oh Santa’s reindeer must be taking a vacation.” 

I really like TSC because it brings me water, mud, and the really taste of nature.
