Lesson 6 - Pioneer Pastime

      I enjoyed the the three days in Alcove spring. I was very relaxed. I had a lot of fun swimming and playing games like bean bag double can.I did not like doing all the chores they were getting in the way of the fun time. The chores I had was cleaning clothes and making dinner. These are the chores that I do on the trail and on my breaks. We hardly ever get to clean are cloths There were many things to do like prisoners base and Simon says. I wish that we can stay there forever. Anyways why do we have to go to Oregon. I love it here. Why can we stay we just will eat leftovers the rest of the way. Anyways we go fresh berries and a real meal.I enjoyed the berries and the vegetables in the stew. What I did not like was the rabbit stew that was not my favorite but I ate it to stay healthy. My favorite part was the apple cobbler for deserts. Yum that was the best thing that we will probably have on the Oregon trail. We had to rest the animals why we were on the stop and they were very happy now that they got to rest. I guess that I have it better than the oxen pulling our wagons. They have had to walk all the way like slaves, with hundreds of pounds they have to carry with people whipping by them making them keep going. I bet if they would have had to walk another 15 miles without rest, they would probably have collapsed. This stop was on that I won't forget the it was fun.
