Saving the beavers

Today was the most fun day on the trip, we met Stephanie this morning. She talked about some old villages that used to be at the Coeur d' Alene lake. She presented what lakes used to be there which I thought was cool, even has a map and cool little structures we had to put on there in places we think it is. She told us why there was old looking power lines Avista put there many many years ago for power where settlers were mining for silver.
 Angelo Vitale, Gina and Stephanie Hallock brought us coffee which was really good and nice, after that we went to a sight where beavers live and have their own dams. I have seen baby catfishs in that creek we were at, I wasn't able to get the name of it so ya. It was muddy all over and tall grasses about my height, it was fun but smelt like beavers poop a lot. We got to see a different dam a other youth group did on the creek, these kids live here in Coeur d' Alene area. We was walking through a lot of mud, and Chrissy, Alyssa and I had to hold on to each other to keep balance because the wader boots were kind of heavy so we were sinking in the mud quickly and was a bit difficult to pull them out but ya. When we started the process on the Restoration of the beavers home because it got ruined there were two captain s , Al group 1 and Chrissy group two. I was working on putting under big sticks, plugged up holes and little flows ( actually really big), putting hay and mud all over even rock, I had the most fun today, this week. I like to catch um fishies in the waters we go to because they are interesting to me. I was hyper this morning, so much I was annoying people. Gina showed me this cut on her finger from the grass, I called it the grasscut instead of papercut. Yesterday Alyssa and me went for a walk on the bridge.
The way back we seen a lot of spiders all over the rails. Um when we were done we were rated pretty much ten of ten, awesomeness. The next day we went the casino here and had "all to eat buffet" and it was good, I tried eggs Benedict for the first time, these strawberries crêpes and had a full plate. Thank you Grandpa Dave, lol.
