WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I love summer! And I seriously loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee OLD FORGE! It's the time of the year that my family, the Baldwins and the Putortis go camping at Old Forge! This year we went a little late, but who really cares. My brother had a baseball game or whatever so I went up with Dee and them a day earlier. My fam came the next morning with Pam and Bobby, and Mike and Kathy went when we went up on Sunday. This year we stayed for only a week, we usually stay for like 10 days. So right when we got there, me Sam and Lauren took their devil dog for a walk while they checked in and set up the camper and stuff. I didn't bring my camera or anything because I didn't think we were going to see anything. So we're walking right, middle of the day, when I spotted a bear walking through the woods!!!! I seriously couldn't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!! So me and Lauren ran back to get out cameras and

when I was telling Dee, the person at the rental place heard me and asked me where it was, so I told her which I shouldn't have, so when we got back with our cameras, there were rangers already there. They told us to stay back LOL but we still got close to it. Then all of a sudden it started to run up this really steep hill by the river. Then someone up there yelled at it and it ran up and sat up against a tree, and I got my pictures. I was SO happy, 5 minutes into the trip and we already saw a baby bear!!

| not coming close... |
The deer were kind of annoying this year, only one or two deer out of all of them in the park would eat right out of your hands. There was one specific one that did it every time, and me and Lauren named her Maybelle LOL. The rest would come up to you kinda, and just eat what you threw on the ground.........
In the park there was this baby deer and it was sooooo cute. There was also a 6 pointer that we saw a few times.
We went to the water safari when Cait and Aunt Susan came up. They stayed in my bed and I slept in Dee's camper. The half day we didn't get good seats, so we ended up sitting below the balloon things, so mom got water on her legs from somebody up above who spilled it on her. Then while they kept going, to get rid of the evidence, they threw the bottle and it hit someone LOL. So on there way back, my mom or Aunt Susan yelled up to them and told them security was waiting for them and they were getting thrown out of the park, which they were. hehe. The guy sitting by us got spit on from someone too. Then there was this person who started yelling at 6 security guards because they were escorting him out of the park. It was a scene........... The Water park was really fun though, we got to do all the rides without long lines, except for the Silverback one.

| Fulton Chain of Lakes |
One of the days we were there, we rented a pontoon boat for the day on the Fulton Chain of Lakes. Us and the Baldwins only stayed on it for half of the day though. It was really fun. We jumped off of the boat a couple times to cool down, and then we went to an island where there was a rope swing. It wasn't positioned good, so we couldn't get really good air..

| Maybelle |
We went on the rocky river stream thing like only twice, and we didn't go far down either. Idk why.. We only did the full nature trail once, but me and Sam got off and went a few minutes in each direction off of the paddle boat to try to find the bear that someone in another paddle boat said they saw....we didn't see it though....... We all went and explored in other woods though.. Me and Sam rented a paddle boat almost every day. We would go and jump off of it in the middle of the lake then get back on it quickly. The first time though, we all rented a canoe, and when we jumped off and tried to get back on it, it filled with water.....So we had to swim with it all the way into shore, and me and Sam aren't the biggest fan of weeds, either.......We were scurred because a ranger was waiting for us on shore LOL we thought we were gonna get in trouble because the people on the beach that told us we should wear our life jackets were talking to him....but we didn't get in trouble....... So we went back out and didn't the SAME thing happen....oh well.... So me and Sam stuck with paddle boats for the rest of the trip.

| Lake Serene |
When me and Lauren were getting off of the paddle boat one time, I (of course) spotted a hugeeee snapping turtle right by the dock!! It was so scurry.................. It wasn't as big as the HUGEST one we saw a few years ago though.
The ducks this year were not really babies, there were kinda bigger, and they didn't really have the warm and fuzzy hurr..but they actually ate right out of our hands, which was different. The mother didn't though. And the chipmunks this year SUCKED. They didn't even come close to me, usually they come up and eat right on my leg, but they didn't this year, which was a little annoying........
So one night, actually like 5 in the morning, Daniel woke us all up because there was a bear outside..So we got up and it was in the back sites behind our campers, I guess, but I couldn't see it!!!!!!!!!!!! My dad and Dan were pointing it out to me, but me and Mom just could not see it.... I think Dan was still dreaming..............................................
So the best bear story of all is this one right here.. So here we all are, sitting out by Pam and Bobby's fire, except Cait, Aunt Susan, Dan, Dad, Lauren, Dee and Mark, when all of a sudden, we hear Aunt Susan yelling at the top of her lungs.. So we all get up, and we see a hugeeeee mother bear right out behind the campers!!!!! We seriously couldn't believe it!!!! Then, we look up in the tree, and there were 2 LITTTTLE cubs!!!!!!!!!!!! It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

| The two baby cubs!!!! |
I just started taking all these pictures, hoping I was gonna get a good one. They came out dark, but you could see the cubs good in one, and the mother good in a couple. At one point, the mother started to walk towards us, so we all screamed and started running the other way LOL....But then it just continued with her business. Mark Lauren and Dee didn't see it, and neither did my dad (who claims no one got him up......which no one believes because Aunt Susan and Cait were yelling right in the camper.........but then my phone was vibrating one night and he got up to see what it was.......) It was seriously just amazing. I was in shock still about how cool it was while I was laying in bed. Daniel was the first one to spot the mother, who was RIGHT by our bed window getting the garbage that was right there........ Then it looked right in the bottom window when Cait was in it, and they were face to face LOL. Aunt Susan was hilarious, with her screaming and stuff. (And when evil bosley tried to kill her.........)

| In town... |
We went into town one day to go to the Hardware store and I got the worlds smallest jigsaw puzzle and a few postcards. While we were in town, we went on the side streets to look for deer, and I caught one (I always spot the animals first....) on a persons trailer eating. So we got out and starting to feed it with the loaf of bread I brought with us LOL. She was eating out of our hands and stuff and we were getting pictures of it when this rude lady beeped the horn at my mother to get out of the road with her car and then told us that we could go to jail for feeding them in town LOL.....ok lady......... So we kept feeding it, mind you I brought the entire loaf of bread with us, and another person came out and said we could get in trouble for feeding them......ok.........................So we got in the car and left.We got our pictures with it though... That day, we also had a washer tournament, and me and Rebecca were partners, and we were SOOO good! We almost made it to the finals.
