My video explaining how to play simon says, one of the many games that kids played on the Oregon trail.
Today on the trail we came to Alcove spring. It was beautiful! There was greenery everywhere, and there was clean, fresh water. In fact, we loved it so much we decided we wanted to stay a few extra days and rest. We had the best dinner we have had in a long time: Fresh berries, delicious rabbit stew, patties, and many other crunchy vegetables. We even enjoyed a sweet apple cobbler after we ate. When we finished eating, we swam in the spring for hours, and laughed and enjoyed ourselves for once in a long time. I never want to leave! It is so nice here; like a dream. I don't believe that Oregon could be better then this. I even had time to finish all my chores, and I haven't done that in a while, because I have never had so much free time. In that free time, we played all sorts of fun games, like simon says, tag, tops, and jumping monkey. I learned the rules to these games from the children. We never played games like these in 2150, and it is really fun to see what kids played in these days. I am really having a wonderful time in Alcove Spring. I love it so much, that I think we will have trouble getting back on the trail again. I am a little worried that we won't.
