I did so many fun games and things at alcove spring! Some of those games were tag, sac races, horse races, cats cradle, and London bridge! The only thing that got annoying was when I was doing horse racing lots and lots of dirt went on me and my eyes, and that really hurts! Also in the horse racing, I came in 3rd place out of 17 people! The food is a whole different story though... Most of the food that we eat we have to eat 3 times every day, and we almost never get deserts. The only thing that I'm not sick of is the oatmeal. I really wish that we could have a variety of foods right now, because like I said, most of the food that we have tastes like junk, but I am thankful for it because we actually have food! Now, here's the big list of chores that I have to do: laundry, dishes, hunting, and walking... So far, walking is the worst!!! We have had to walk so much in the last 5 weeks on the Oregon trail. But I guess that I do have it better than our oxen!!! They have had to walk all the way like slaves, with hundreds of pounds they have to carry with people whipping making them keep going. I bet if they would have had to walk another 15 miles without rest, they would probably have collapsed with the weight!!! But so far, this stop has been so fun!!!
