In the Ol' Wild Boreal Forest 2

This post is about my trip to Barrhead. The reason why Barrhead is one of my top vacation spots, is because it has, like Southern Alberta, a wide variety of unique animals. There are not just Farm animals, but there are Porcupine, frogs, water skimmers, bats, fish (in thunder lake) moose and my favourite invertebrate, leeches! Plus it's isolated in the middle of a forest. A couple of weeks ago we went to Barrhead to visit my Grandma and Grandpa Shipley. When we arrived we hung out, had dinner, and I tried out new apps the Skylanders Cloud Patrol and Minecraft: Pocket Edition. And I was planning on watching Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. After we hung out, we had a nice quiet sleep, away from all the cars and noise of the city. The next day was a fresh start.

I tried my new apps, ate breakfast, and got ready for the quads! A few days before the trip my dad took me out to get Quad gloves at the store, because my dad got a thorn in his knuckle. After we started it up, we drove around the woods, in the field and near the stream. My brother and mom were searching for pond life, and at one point saw a ginormous tadpole and a frog.

We were also driving through mud and puddles, but it smelled like cow manure.

After that I went inside to watch The Empire Strikes Back. After that I played on the trampoline ate dinner which was awesome. We got to roast hotdogs and marshmallows over a fire and after that we left for home. I love visiting Barrhead and I can't wait to go this weekend!
