What BOOTS means to me

What I learned in BOOTS is how to tie all kinds of knots in ropes and that I can climb and hike far places also that raccoon’s are very strong for how little they are. I learned many things in BOOTS I would like to do it again.

On the hike to the Ocean
At first I didn’t really like it because it was a boring bord [board] walk then we got there and went across this bridge and found a camp site so we set are [our] tent put a tarp over bags and tried to make a fire. Then we made soup and potatoes[.] I like potatoes but I never like soup. Then we went too [to] sleep and raccoons tried taking are [our] packs.

The next day we took down the tent and every thing [everyone] made oatmeal and hot chocolate and ate poptarts[.] After we were done we were suppost [supposed] to do dishes in the creek but me Courtney, Bobbi, Tia had bowl races instead and it was fun then we took up for the beach hike.

On the beach hike was long[.] We had to make it to these three rocks[.] We hike[d] a long time taking breaks[.] I like[d] some part[s] but at first it stink [stunk] like seaweed all over the place but then we got to soft pretty sand. We had to make it over this huge boulder thing and it was a little hard but we made it then we finally almost made it and I thought we were going to this big rock I saw but then were weren’t and there was deer and a eagle behind me.
