We were at Donner Lake waiting for our turn to ride on the big float behind the jet-ski. While I was waiting sort-of patiently, I explored the coniferous forest, and I found a really cool tree that had twisty branches. Then, I discovered some tiny pebbles and some sand that was good wet sand and some sticks. Then I made a sand castle while I was waiting so it could be fun while I was waiting. My favorite pinecone I found was the triangle one. The other ones look all cool, but they are all normal.
