 One day we decided to go out and camp. My brother end I set out to look for a place. We walked about mile and then we found a place where there was Q fine spring and a good place to put the tent
 The first thing we did when we got home WAS to get ready. We packed lip some food for oursVRcatien and also brought a flag.
 The first thing to do when we ar rived there was to put up our tent. It was very cold that night, but next naornlng the sun was shining and we did our work and then played That night before we went to bed we made good fire and let it burn all night There were other people out camp ting besides us and we helped them with their work.
 Our vacation lasted month. hope some of the Wiae-AwalSes will have a Vacation in the woods some day.

 To the right Of the n1onurnent is a cannon with several cannonballs piled in conieai shape.
