One day last summer when we were
visiting in Kansas my uncle took us for
an auto ride. We took our dinner with
us. We went n long way, then We came
to bridge over the Solomon river. By
that time 1t was noon, 80 we ate Our
dinner under the bridge. While we were
eating some wagons went over the
bridge. We children ran out to see what
It was and found 1t wagons loaded with
a merry-go-round. We said Hello" and
they answered back.
Then we waded in the water. and my
uncle took our pictures in the water.
We passed an old mill dam. There were
lots of people there fishing and swim
ming. We passed wheat fields where
they were harvesting. When we were
coming back We stopped at a small town
and got some ice cream. Then we went
on and came to another town and saw
where my cousin lived when a little boy.
We went 100 miles that day.
