Eva's Campfire Adventure
The last part For Eva's Campfire Adventure .All six of us oversleep! we had no time to finish our projects!.We watched everyone else show what they'ed made . . . The stick flutes sounded Hootiful .The hammock looked super comfy . Even Sue and George's catapult was Owlsome. Then it was time for me and Lucy to share what we had made.We started to make an umbrella,but . . . Well we didn't finish it .Hmm, I think if it rained right now, you'd get pretty wet . It was time for us Treasure Hunters to share out secrets . The thing is . . . None of us have our finished our projects. Because we have been so busy Searching for Nellie's hidden treasure! . Then Sue laughed there isn't really any treasure! i couldn't believe Sue was laughed .Nellie treasure is real ,and our club is going to prove it. We showed everyone the arrows and the clues we found using our raft,pulley,and wind and socks.Maybe if we all Treasure Hunters tougher,we could still find the treasure!.Now everyone was excited about the treasure hunt but not sue .She still thought it was silly.I flew over to Sue.Sue i'd love your help with this.Your catapult is so good it is,isn't it okay.I'll show you how it works. We used the pulley to lift the boulder into the catapult.Then we launched it in the wind. the boulder flew across the river! it landed on one of a strange log.A smaller rock on the other rocketed off the log.The smaller rock rolled down a hill.Finally,it stopped at a hollowed-out tree trunk. We crept inside and found the treasure you seek was already found.It is the friends who helped you,the family who support you,the smarts you used to get to get here,And gifts of the forest all around .Camping with my friends was fun ,Diary.But i am looking forward to seeing my family again .I've missed them so much! Nellie Wingdale was right there is no greater treasure than your friends and family . See you next time, Diary.
