Summer Challenge (September 1)
Lucas began the summer with a challenge: to view — up close — 20 different bodies of water. Last Wednesday he hit his goal… just a week before summer ends and the school year begins. The day before that he wrote a blog post about it:
Yesterday I saw three bodies of water.
I have nineteen on my list.
We have to find one more before we can reach our goal.
One took a lot of off-roading to get to. It was really bumpy.
The waterfall we went to was tall and loud.
I like looking for bodies of water because I think it’s beautiful.
Nearly half of the bodies of water we saw on our road trip to Oregon. Here are a few pictures of ones we’ve done in the last month, followed by the full list (as composed by Lucas.)
