We climbed a mountain! By Isa and Gabi


One of the big snails we saw.  They went slow.

Today we climbed a mountain.  All the way to the tippy top. The name of the mountain is Humbug Mountain.  Our feet were hurting a lot.  And Gabi whined a lot.  We found a bunch of big snails, a green slug, a spotted slug, and a ghost flower plant.   




A green slug!
Does anyone know what this plant is?   
We called it: ghost flowers, see-through flowers, and dead flowers. 

 There were lots and lots of plants. It was very green – Isa’s favorite color.   




Everything was very green.






The top of the mountain was 1756 feet up.  That’s not as high as the mountains in Colorado, but it felt big.  The path to the top was three miles and then we had to hike back.  It took us about 3 ½ hours.  We climbed so high we climbed into the clouds.  Luke wanted to catch the cloud in a jar and see what happened.  We didn’t have a jar, so we didn’t do that.  There were other humans climbing too.  We are exhausted, but it was worth it.




We made it!


This is one of the only times Gabi was smiling, unless there was a critter to look at!
