The badlands 

At the badlands we were meeting friends so Zach and I decided to play a little trick. Zach would dress as me (Zoe) ,I would dress as him. When they saw us they noticed almost immediately who was who because Zachary was holding a basketball.  Then I went to get changed out of boy clothes. I thought boys clothes were WAY too hot.  After that we all played putt putt. Maya got a hole in one.  I lost. The last hole sucks up your ball.  Zach and Joe didn’t put their balls in the last hole, so they played anther round of putt-putt.  The next day we were getting ready to go on a hike. The Jacobs rode in the RV with us. The hike was fun but very hot. About halfway through the hike I wanted to go back. I was so hot.  There was a really tall and shakey ladder.  There was shade at the top of the ladder because we were on top of the hills.  I found a tiny pocket of shade and snuck in there to try to cool off.  After sitting in the shade for little while I wanted to go back and so did Maya so the girls went back. The boys finished the hike.  When we got back to the RV I ate 5 popsicles.  Then we went to lunch at the Wagon Wheel.  The Wagon Wheel was a small restaurant.  It was about the same size as the RV.  There were lottery games inside.  There was only one thing we could do on a machine in there.  It was a big juke box.  The first song we chose was the Wagon Wheel because it was also the name of the restaurant!  I played a song my brother really doesn’t like.  It is called “Shake it Off.”  I had cheese pizza for lunch.  I ate 4 pieces!  It was surprisingly good.  Next we drove through the Badlands to Wall Drug.  I thought the Badlands were beautiful and really cool.  Wall Drug was a huge store.  If I would have known it was so big I would have worn tennis shoes instead of flip flops.  I got a delicious donut there.  I also played some games and if you won tickets then you got a discount on stuff you buy from the store.  I used the discount to get a mood ring.  We had dinner with the Jacobs and Maya and I watched a show called Full House.  We had a great day with our friends!
