What is that?

On June 15 we drove though Kootenay Canadian National Park. We drove along the forest and saw countless deer. Their fur was sort of stripey and looked like it was rubbed the wrong way. We thought that a plastic bag was some kind of critter.

We were driving and then Mommy said, look there’s a bear! We all turned our heads to see the bear. It was pitch black. You could see the light on it’s fur. After that we saw more and more deer. Everyone was so busy looking for critters.

I looked up and saw something up ahead in the middle of the road. Was it a dog or a horse, or a deer? Then I said, what is that up ahead? When Daddy looked up he said that it was a moose. When we got closer we saw that is was tall dark brown and had long fragile looking legs. Up ahead we saw a car. Did it see the moose? It was coming fast. Then it came to a halt. Good. The moose looked like it was licking the road. Then it looked up and trotted into the forest.

We kept on driving and me and Stella said at the same time, MOOSE! We watched the moose look at us and then trot away. We saw more and more deer. Then daddy said pretty loudly, MOOSE! We watched as the moose ran gracefully into the woods. We think it was a male moose but we didn’t know.

After that we left Kootenay Park. I hope I will see more moose.

Leaving the United States

Posted by Ana on Monday Jun 20, 2011

June 15, we went to go to Canada. We saw lots of horses and cows on the way. We went to the drive-through place to see if we have any weapons or anything. We got some Canada flags, with a leaf on them. Then we drove into Canada, where Daddy and Mommy had their honeymoon. It was a country I’ve never been to. A lot of people in Canada speak french. The guy at the border spoke french. In Georgia a lot of people speak english. There’s a lot of RVs in Canada. And dandelions. The gas in Canada is a lot lower. Dad says this is because the price in Canada is per liter, not per gallon. Mama says it is more expensive in Canada. A lot of people are riding their bikes in Canada and a lot of people ride their bikes in Georgia. There’s more pine trees in Canada. And moose.

Canada!
