Today we are all flying to our homes across the country. As we travel, we would like to share some thoughts about our experiences in Montana.

Amelia: Montana is great. But this is all I can say: Go to it!

Arabella: If it was up to me, I would stay right up until school started. I liked the water rafting the best!

Ben: It was really fun meeting everybody, and it was just amazing seeing everything and being with people that love exploring as much as I do.

Caitlin: Going on this Montana expedition was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. My favorite part of the expedition was discovering dinosaur bones and seeing mountain goats.

Dillian: It was so beautiful words can’t describe it.

Edward: It was so awesome to come here and see the animals that I could not see where I live.

Ellie: Montana could very well be the most beautiful place on Earth. From the exotic wildlife to the dramatic landscapes, it gives me a good reason to see America first.

Emily: Throughout this trip, I’ve experienced many things, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I never want to leave.

Hannah: The trip was really amazing. We all got along so well because we all enjoyed every aspect of the trip.

Jackson: I really liked learning about the different edible plants that you can find in the wilderness.

Jordan: It was amazing. I learned so much about wildlife and different things I thought I would never learn about.

Lena: It was awesome! My favorite part was seeing the two different kinds of bears. I will miss everyone, but I’m looking forward to the D.C. reunion!

Katherine: Majestic mountains and powerful rivers made this a trip of a lifetime. I’ve loved every minute of it! Thanks, NG Kids!

Mariah: I’m gonna miss everybody!

Michael:The trip was amazing. It was the journey of a lifetime.

Thanks to everyone who is following our adventure! We love seeing your comments.

Edward:

During the boat ride St. Mary’s Lake I learned a lot about Glacier National Park. Some of these things include that St. Mary’s lake is the 2nd biggest lake in Glacier National Park. Another is that there are 25 glaciers remaining Glacier NP. The boat was surrounded by tall mountains and the water was a really dark shade of blue.

All of a sudden, as we were cruising along, someone yelled “BEAR!” I dropped my notebook and rushed over. It was a male grizzly bear (called a boar) climbing down a funnel of big rocks toward the water. Then the captain slowed the boat while we all took pictures and looked through binoculars. Now everyone was on that side of the boat and it tilted. There was a lot of excitement. The grizzly looked so strong and his claws and teeth were enormous–it was simply amazing!!!

Those were the highlights of the boat ride.

BOOK NAME: Twilight
AUTHOR: Stephenie Meyer

I know DogEared fans have been requesting a review of this book. It is one of the most popular books ever. So here it is.

Bella Swan just moved from Tennessee to a rainy city in Washington State called Forks, where she had decided to live with her dad for a few weeks. At Bella’s new school she discovers this creepy family, the Cullens, who like to keep to themselves. One of the kids name is Edward. One day Bella nearly gets hit by an out-of-control truck! Edward somehow saves her by stopping the truck. Soon she finds out that the Cullens are vampires! Bella and Edward fall in love with each other but it’s not long after when a bad vampire comes into town trying to chase down Bella. The Cullens have to save Bella, and save the rest of her family before it’s too late.

I LOVED this book!!! I did cheat and go see the movie first. It was a long book but totally worth it. I am now reading New Moon (I went to go see that movie first too!). I would definitely recommend this book to kids who are in middle school because it is a hard read. There are four books total in The Twilight Series and they have already made two of the movies. Eclipse and Breaking Dawn are the others.

I am a Team Jacob fan! Write back if you are a Team Jacob or a Team Edward fan!
