The day was ‘great’ but I didn’t feel so ‘great.’ It was hot, and I was sweating. I wanted to get a drink of cold water, but the only water with us was hot because of this weather, and I didn’t want hot water anyways because I was already hot. I wanted to be in New Jersey, not Wyoming. The ideal child should enjoy whatever if their parent tells them to enjoy it. Too bad I’m not the ideal child. We pulled into an empty parking spot to view the ‘wonderful scenery.’ “Smile, Chelsea!” My mother encouraged. I didn’t smile. “Not in the mood” I grumbled.

So I waited for Dad and Henry. Henry pulled himself over it easily, his five foot eight height made it so that reaching things and getting to higher places was never a problem for him. My dad tried to boost me up, but it didn’t work because he couldn’t lift me high enough to get onto the peak. We tried and tried, but then decided to strategically retreat. Right before we officially turn around, I noticed a log nearby, I climbed up the log by myself and from there, jumped onto the rock.
