Lovvveeelyyy weather here!!!!!!!!

Hey, this is Maya here! It's getting warm again! And that means............fort building time!
And if you think that I'm going to talk about forts...
You are completely right!



And if you wonder which fort I am going to talk about....


guess..........

It's a mystery......

Ooops, I just gave it away.............


yes, you guessed it!

We had another adventure with the Mystery Fort. Yeah, that's my title for it now.

It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day yesterday, and I and Dave and Jack and Kirsten were exploring. We decided to go to the Mystery Fort.

I got behind the others (did I mention I'm short and have a hard time keeping up with tall people?) Anyway, I was behind them.

And then I saw someone watching us. This person was dressed in camouflage and was just watching us. From behind a couple of trees.

Now, if you have read many books, you know that if you see someone watching you and you don't know who they are, it's a wise idea to NOT let them know you've seen them.

And so I just ran ahead to try and catch up with the others. I hoped MP (Mystery Person) hadn't realized I had seen him. ( or her)

At the Mystery Fort, there were some changes. I didn't want to risk telling the others about MP, but I wondered if they didn't have something to do with the fort. I looked around, and saw a strange rock in the sand around the outside of the fort. I'm going to go back later and take a look by myself if possible. This is really weird.

 

I know, I don't usually post twice in a row..but..

I had this really awesome story to tell you guys.

Dave, Michelle, Kirsten, and I were exploring in the river bottom next to our house, where there is tons of trees. We had been finding all sorts of neat places, trees, and holes, and that sort of thing, when all of a sudden Michelle pointed ahead!
     "Hey, what's that?" she asked. I followed her pointing finger and then I saw it. Dave saw it just as I did and he let out a whoop!
     "A FORT!!!!" he yelled! "AWESOME!!!" and he took off running for it.
      Kirsten and I exchanged puzzled looks. We explore the river bottoms a lot. And I had never seen it before. And it looked really new. Evidently Kirsten hadn't seen it before either. I followed, almost as eager as Michelle and Dave, who were now halfway to the fort.
      It was underneath a great big tree, and there was a swing made out of baling twine hanging from one of the branches of the tree. Sticks had been arranged in a palisade around the base of the tree and several feet out. Flat rocks were laid in a path from the palisade opening to the tree trunk, where a makeshift roof had been built. The whole thing was a bit strange, although really really neat!
     A shadow fell across us as we were investigating the fort. I shivered, and wrapped my arms around me. Even with my coat on, it was getting really cold. And the sun was going down. So supper would probably be on the stove soon.
   So we went home, but we are definitely going to be on the lookout for anything strange happening!
