One Sunny, Great Day for Hiking


The birds were singing on the top of Sunshine hill. It was one sunny, great day. One sunny, great day for hiking! Ellie and Jeremiah were pondering about where to set up a campsite for the day after their exhausting hike up the rocky, steep hill. Finally, Ellie found the perfect spot. It was grassy and green, and shaded by a big tree. "Let's set up here!" said Ellie, trying to catch here breath.



And so it was decided. The two friends helped each other put down their things with a "thump!" and a "plop!" "Can you get out the tent, Jeremiah?" asked Ellie. " Sure! I'd be happy to!" Jeremiah answered back. Then he grabbed the tent out of the blue backpack he had. This tent was no ordinary tent, though. Because it was water proof, fire resistant, and the material was un-breakable!


By the time Ellie was done putting down her things, Jeremiah was almost done the tent! Then, with one last pull from both of them, the tent was up! "I can't wait to sleep in this thing tonight!" Ellie squealed. "Ya..." said Jeremiah. Then they adjusted the tent. And to make sure no bears came in, they zipped it shut!


The tent was set up, it was dusk, and the two still hadn't eaten anything yet! "I'm starving!" said Jeremiah. "Me too," said Ellie. So they took out their grill, grilled up some grubs, and had one fabulous dinner. The hills were glowing from the now orange sun. Then it set into the distance, and the stars woke up and started to shine...
