New York City, New york

                                New York was an amazing place to visit, with all of the skyscrapers and cool sites. we saw many things, and I will rate them below.

1. The Met museum: 8/10-the met was a very cool museum, with lots of ancient artifacts and paintings. After a while, though, you might start to lose interest in seeing similar paintings. A thing I would do again.
2. The Empire State building: 9.5/10-really cool to see, though there was a bit of a wait. a really cool thing to do.
3. Central park- 10/10 -Very beautiful, and the central park zoo has some great animals!
4. statue of liberty 12/10-the best part of are trip! 100% flawless!

the pettit family reunion

                    July not only had a big trip, but lots of cousins! It was the family reunion, and we were going to east canyon reservoir state park to do some kayaking. we had a great time. the best part was when my kayak capsized and I was thrown into the water! we stayed in a cabin in Morgan, Utah which was about ten minutes from the lake.
                        

Going to Goram scout ranch

                           Being an 11 year old scout, it was time to go to another campout. My position, outdoor ethics guide, means I was ,kind of the leader on the campout. I slept in a tent that was already pitched, and had 2 buddies: Dallin and Ryan. we all had a great time. I think my favorite part was swimming because I passed the swim test. I had tons of fun, and learned many cool songs.This is my 2nd campout, and am currently a tenderfoot.

grand tetons National park

                    On are way back from Yellowstone we took a side stop at grand Tetons national park. It is Right below Yellowstone. we saw deer, and an elk. the big part was seeing the pretty mountain sides around the park. Another highlight was taking a boat through the river to a trail(we didnt do the trail because we were on the clock)and had a good time. (pictures below)

Are trip to Durango, Colorado

                        Are trip to Durango, Colorado was very fun. we went to Mesa Verde National park, a park with cliff dwellings.Me and my family were able to tour the site, and saw many cool things. we stayed at cascade village and rented a condo. we also went to the Purgatory ski resort(before known as Durango mountain resort). we went on the alpine slide, which was very fun, however while on the ride, we saw what appeared to be a beaver. In all are trip was successful.
