My Favorite Place

Image from visittheusa.com "Riding the Estes Park Aerial Tramway to the top of Prospect Mountain"

Estes Park Colorado is my favorite place in the world for many different reasons.
One is that I have grown up vacationing to this town. My great uncle created a homestead in this town and ever since this my family has grown and stayed in this area. I've built many memories here and looked forward to growing with my family here throughout the years.
I also love this place because of the connection to family that ties with Estes Park. My grandfather lives there now and i look forward to always going to visit him along with the rest of my family there.
Throughout the summer, school year, and every time in between I dream of the next visit to this magical place because of the joy i get when i visit my family and the town I love.

    Oh, that brings back memories, Ryan! My parents used to spend time in Colorado, and whenever I visited, Estes Park was where we would always go. I loved being able to see eagles there. AMAZING. How wonderful that you have a family connection like that. I hope you will have many more wonderful visits there in the future! :-)

    Hey Ryan,

    You're the second person I've met today whose favorite place is in Colorado. Seems like a favorite of OU students. I haven't heard of Estes Park but I do love the mountains in Colorado. The view in your picture looks incredible! I would love to take a trip inside that lift. I just might have to check out Estes Park one of these days. Good luck this semester!

Reading Notes Part B "Deaths Messengers"

Deaths Messengers One day a giant was walking along a highway when a man jumped out at him and told him to stop. The man said, "I am death, you have to listen to me." The giant denied him and told death to move out of the way. They disagreed and began to wrestle. It was a long and tough battle but the giant gained the upper hand. He defeated death and left him on the side of the road. Death laid on the road concerned with what the world would look like without him. He was concerned for the people who wouldn't die in his absence. The world would be full of people and nobody would be able to move. Then a young man walked up out of nowhere and started to assist death without knowing who he was. He let death drink from his canteen and he nursed him back to health. Death finally was able to speak to him when he said," I am death and I am extremely grateful for your help. Because of this, I promise to not kill you without warning. When your time comes I will send ...

"Why the Bat Flies By Night" Reading Notes

The Bush Rat Bibliography: This story is part of the Nigeria unit. Story source: Folk Stories From Southern Nigeria by Elphinstone Dayrell (1910). One day the Bush Rat and the Bat and the bat were feeding together. They always fed together, just like they did everything else together. But, one day the bat decided to turn on the Bush Rat. They were both eating soup when the Bush Rat asked the Bat why his soup was always so good. The bat usually prepared his soup beforehand and just took some extra care while making it, but he decided to tell a lie. The bat told the Rat that before he starts cooking the soup he boils himself in the broth. The Bat said that his flesh is so sweet that it flavors the broth. The Rat was convinced that that is how the soup was so good so later that night he went home and told his wife that he would make soup for the family that night. He started making the soup and as soon as his wife turned away he jumped into the pot of boiling water to "fl...
