~My favorite character~

Posted on by Libby Clark

Hello beautiful people! Today I’m writing about my favorite character, Katniss Everdeen. SPOILER ALERT! DON’T READ ON IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE BOOKS. I just finished all the books and it is an emotional roller coaster. Katniss is amazing in the games and she is a great role model for her 12 year old sister, Prim. Katniss is 16 and hunts illegally to keep her family alive. Her dad died a few years before from the explosion of a coal mine. She is so brave and courageous to have to face all the things she faces in the books. She was so brave to volunteer for her sister at the reaping and to save her and Peeta at the end of the games when they were the last to standing. This girl has gone though so much and is so strong from it.

Starvation Lake: One of the most memorable trips

Posted on by Libby Clark

Starvation, a very underrated lake. Starvation is a big lake located in Duchesne. I consider this lake a wanna be Lake Powell. The shape is quite the same just less canals. Its not as warm as Lake Powell. Not many people know about this lake, so most of the time you get the whole lake to your self. If you go to the west side of the lake, there is a cool busy bridge you get to go over. I stayed in a good sized cabin that held our whole group (9 people) and we had an extra bedroom.

They don’t have many restaurants in Duchesne because the main road of the whole town is only about a mile. There is a Pizza place that has a coffee shop in it, Beto’s, a Mexican place, and a few places in gas stations. Even thought the town isn’t all that great, the boating is amazing with good temperatures and the low capacity of people.  Its about 2 hours from Draper and if you know where Strawberry Reservoir, its about 30 minutes past that. It is quite a drive but its worth it to have a good all day boating trip with your family. I hope this will help you on choosing a lake for boating.

My dog, Skip (Free Write)

Posted on by Libby Clark

My dog, Skip, is probably one of my best friends for so many reasons. He is a French Bulldog, mixed with a Boston Terrier. Because of this mix it makes him super squatty and fat, but also very fast when it come to running, its one of the most funny things I’ve ever seen.

He is three years old and turning four in November, when we got him from the airport (he was shipped from Michigan) we had to unscrew and take apart the whole crate because of how scared he was, so sad. A story about my dog is when he fell of the bed when he was sleeping with my sister, and now he is so traumatized that he can’t jump on the bed.

So in addition to that he will come into my room around 3 in the morning, and make me get out of bed and put him on the bed, its very annoying because if I don’t help him, he will cry for hours. He is such a drama queen! So thats my dog, the crazy frenchie that he is.
