hear of my trip will tell you a few
things did that liked best.
First I visited my grandpa and
grandma, my brother, uncles, aunts,
cousins and many dear friends.
While on our visit we were camp
ing on the Wapsie river about thirty.
five miles north Of Cedar Rapids. We
had fine time fishing. never caught
a fish, but enjoyed sitting and holding
the pole. The men caught the fish,
more than we could eat. thought it
fine trip as 1t was the first time I
ever slept in tent or saw any one
cook by camp fire.
There were ten Of us in the crowd.
so we had to hitch two teams to a
wagon with a hayrack on to carry the
load. I like to go visiting and then I
am glad to get back home to see all
my pets and playthings and little
schoolmates.
hope all the Juniors have enjoyed
their vacations as have. In few days
we will all meet In school again.
Mamma reads the Junior letters to
me and enjoy them very much.
