We finally get settled in, we slept upstairs with the girls and momma and daddy slept in the basement. It was scarrrryyy... there was a window even with the ground level and you could see the snow outside. There was a big bed and it was surrounded by every kind of wild hunting game animal you could think of; deer, elk, moose, bear, and more. We fell asleep all pretty fast, after the long ride and the excitement we were tired. Momma and daddy had trouble because during the night a bear was scratching at the window during the night and they could hear the low growling. Totally different kind of wild life then we were use to in Tulare, ha ! ha !
But early in the morning we had this huge breakfast Aunt Alex has made us and we sat all together in the dining room all warm with the fireplace and hungry as bears. Then it was dressing and getting ready for the day. We went into town which was about fifteen miles away. Can you imagine, driving that far to go to the market! Then Uncle took us out hunting and he shot a grouse right in the middle, feathers and guts all flew out. Later Aunt Alex cooked it, it wasn't much meat but we weren't up to trying it anyway. Kind of like when daddy killed the chickens and cooked them at Grandma's in Porterville, not too appetizing after seeing the kill. The plan for the next day was for Badoll and us (I don't remember if it was all four us or not), but we were going to take the bus with our cousins to their school for the day. Like we really wanted to go to school, ha! were on vacation....
