by Samantha H.
Samantha and the Adventurers was walking at Bandera, TX one morning. We were trucking along in a group, until Samantha meet a longhorn. He thought I had food. But I didn't and I was not scared at all! So I went along to finished our walk. He was good. I was cool and brave. And this is my story.

Fossil Hike
by Beau, Melissa, Joseph and Jacob, as told to Mrs. Mackey
On Thursday night we had a bumpy hike to find fossils. The terrain was rocky. Melissa and Beau both liked walking The sky was blue and there was no rain. Joseph saw five green, brown, and gray lizards. Joseph also saw two walking stick bugs and showed everyone else.

When we got to the fossil pit Mr. Mackey talked about the rocks and fossils. Then everyone walked around looking for fossils. Beau found a clam shell fossil. A long time ago this place was under water. Melissa and Beau and other Adventurers found cylinder fossils called crinoids. Jacob found one fossil. We looked for fossils until the sun went down. Then we hiked back to the cabins. When we got back we went to the campfire.

The Silver Spur Adventurers are back from the Cowboy Capital of the World, and have they got stories to tell (and some pictures to share)! Over the next several days, we'll post some of the stories they've written.
Watch for new installments every few days!

Silver Spur Trip by Melissa H. (as told to Meltzer)
This was Melissa's 2nd time at the Silver Spur. She liked the wranglers. They were really nice. The wranglers are Robin and Tracy. Robert and Jay also help with the horses. Tracy helped Melissa with her horse Texas. Melissa needed help on the hills. She was a little scared but she did it anyway! She really enjoyed it! She had lots of fun with the horses. Jay was fun to hang out with. Kay and Garry are the owners. Kay was out of town visiting her sick Daddy. She came back on Friday and Melissa was very happy to see sweet Kay!
