Bringing Molly to the Boat

Last week, we brought Molly to the boat from one of our grandma's house. She was there because she has a bad back and she wasn’t safe on the boat. Molly broke her back by jumping off a bed in Boulder, CO.We had to go to one of my grandma’s house to pick-up Molly.

We started the drive at about 3:35p.m. The drive was from Chula Vista, CA, to Modesto, CA. It’s an 8 hour drive. I saw trees that had leaves off them, we smelled cow poop, we saw cars going real slow, we saw a lot of stops along the way, and we saw a lot of stars. It was a long drive without Molly.

The next day, Dad, Mom, Loren, Mason and I went to go pick-up Molly from my Grammy’s house. When we got into the house, Molly was going loco because she was happy to see us. Another dog named Bentley was using me as a scratch toy and I had a lot of scratch marks all over me because Bentley was happy to see me. Loren and I were going crazy because we were happy to see Molly and Bentley. At the house, Loren and I played with Molly and Bentley outside. It was about 3:35p.m. when we started our next drive to Chula Vista, CA from Modesto, CA.

We started the 8 hour drive with Molly. We started the drive by going to a gas station with two cars to fill up the two cars gas tanks. After the two the cars gas tanks were full, Mason, Mom and I headed off to Jamba Juice to get a smoothie. We left Modesto after we got Jamba Juice. We smelled cigarettes when we were still in Modesto. The leaves were brown, yellow and red. The trees had more leaves off them. I had two burritos from Taco Bell. We still smelled cow poop on the way to Chula Vista, CA. It was a long drive.

When Mason, Mom and I got back to Chula Vista, (by the way, Loren and Dad were already there) I was so tired that I fell right asleep when I was done brushing my teeth. Everybody was tired. We all had a long day. I’m happy Molly is with us.

Elliot, I love the descriptions of what you saw, smelled, and felt! (Trees, stars, poop, scratches). I like to notice how the trees and plants change as you travel, too. I also like to look at the starts when you're a passenger, also. It is easier to do that in a boat though, isn't it? Catch ya' later!
