We went to my brother Morgan's house in Whistler. It was really cool, but I didn't get to go snowboarding. His house was orderly, like an adults. And it was very warm and comfortable. We slept at his house and the next day we were off. It wasn't along visit but we'll see him again. We drove through Jasper and then we were home.

World's biggest tree
Big stump
Drive-Thru Tree
We sort of went through a tree. It's called the Drive-Thru tree. It's a redwood tree. One of the biggest trees in the world, but I saw the biggest tree in the world!

Getting off the Matterhorn
The next day we almost missed the bus! But I caught it and we were on our way. The first ride we were going to go on was the one I so badly wanted to go on, the Matterhorn. I went with my sister the first time. It was so scary. When the monster pops up and stuff. But the last monster wasn't that scary. Our next ride was Splash Mountain. Mark got soaked but past the third person in line no-one was wet so it was sort of boring for me and everyone else, but Angus and Mark were right up front. I wanted to go on that one again. The song was Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Da.

It was nighttime of the first day. It was pretty fun, we played card games in the Airstream. My favourite part was when we talked about our favourite rides on the first day. Mine was the Buzz Lightyear ride. But the next day I could not wait to get on the Matterhorn and Splash Mountain.
Bus to Disneyland
The night we got to Disneyland it was pouring rain, but it was pretty nice until we got to L.A. It took four hours to get through to the airport to pick up my sister Rose and my brother Kyle. We went to the RV site. The next day we went to Star Tours. It was a moving roller coaster. The next ride we went on was Buzz Lightyear, the coolest ride in the world. You get to shoot these guns to a target and it would show how many you've hit and at the end it showed you what level you got to. i was on level three. My partner was on level two. My brother Mark got to level six!

We have entered Las Vegas. Lights EVERYWHERE! But the best part was the stores. People were dressed up like Elvis and people like that. Then we went to my second-oldest sister Mandy's house and stayed there for the night. We played volleyball but we had to stop because the sand was all rocky.
Jammin' with the Horses
On the way to Las Vegas we saw cool horses. There eight Clydesdales and then the carriage. They use them for parades. We thought they were going to Las Vegas but they were going to a farm fair in Arizona.

Hell's Half Acre Lava Trail
It was a nice sunny day when we parked for lunch at a road-side stop We were rolling down hills like logs of wood. Until I found out after lunch there was a nice cool trail. We were wondering "waht is this place?" Then my mom says, "this might be Hell's Half Acre Trail. It's really cool." So we started to look at all the lava rocks and I asked, "why is there so many lava rocks." And Mom said, "because a volcano exploded here." We kept on walking until we hit the path. There were all these signs explaining what a volcano would do and there were these search things that explained moss and animals living there. We were at the very end of the path when we saw three mountains in the distance and my mom said those mountains were used in the old days to as markers to help settlers find out where they were going. Then we had to head back to get on the road or else we'd never get to Disneyland.
Jammin' in the snow
We woke up and went swimming for at least an hour until my Dad came and picked us up. The truck was fixed and it was time to go. We left and drove until we got to the United States border. Then we kept on driving until we found a little place in a town in Montana where we could sleep in an RV Park. When we woke up it was snowing!
