The school year is starting to wind down (7 weeks and 4 days left!) and I’m glad. I love my class, I love what I do, but I’m tired! The testing has really taken a toll on me this year due to the fact that I changed grade levels and really felt like I needed to relearn everything. My brain is tired, my body is tired, and while I really don’t want to say goodbye to this group of students…I’m ready for a vacation!

Our summer trips are fairly routine, every year we head west to California to the tiny town of Mammoth Lakes.

My grandfather has a cabin up there and we go stay with him for a week or two under the premise of “helping out”. I LOVE Mammoth, ever since I was a small child…it’s so neat to be able to take my kids up there and see them exploring the same woods and lakes that I did.

This summer however, we are also going to spend a week in Yellowstone National Park

I’ve never been to Yellowstone and am not sure what to expect. It certainly looks beautiful and will be a new adventure for the entire family. New adventures, new experiences, and SUMMER VACATION…it sure is a lot to look forward too!

    Hey Mrs.Hulburt, I loved your entry I think it was very exiting! But what I think you should improve is to explain a little more about Mammoth Lakes so the people that haven’t been there can visualize it more. I think your piece will be more powerful if you do this. =}

    I really like this story because of the beginning and because you put voice like when you said “I love my class, I love what I do, but I’m tired. But I think you should add to this story why you like Mammoth Lakes so much

    This entry is really exciting and you always tell the class how much you love Mammoth lakes, but what I really think you could add in there is how Carrie and Christopher felt about it.
