I went to Lake Junaluska with Mrs. Green and her husband for the weekend. What a beautiful place.
Here is the house we stayed in. A lot of their friends who sing in their church choir back home also stayed in this house.
The Greens and their friends spent a lot of time singing and learning new choir songs in a big choir. I asked Mrs. Green if I could sing too. She said it would be okay if I sang real soft. One time she had to give me the “Sh” signal when I tried to sing a high note. Here I am singing…
This is where the water falls over the dam that holds the water in Lake Junaluska. It was noisy here. I wanted to swim in the water so Mrs. Green let me get my feet wet. I’m not a very good swimmer for a duck.
Here is the dam from the side the lake is on. This bridge is on top of the dam.
Mr. Green drove the car across the bridge. The lake is on the left while on the right the land is much lower than the road. The water falls over the dam on the right but you can’t see that part in this picture.
I met some Canada Geese by the lake. They were big and a little scary, but they were OK.
These are my new friends Andrew and Malachi Larson. They came to feed the ducks and geese. It’s fun to make new friends.
In this picture you can see some of the mountains better. Mrs. Green said we would see lots of mountains later. Aren’t they lovely?
We saw this in somebody’s yard. Mrs. Green said we might see more like it later. A man uses a chain saw to carve bears and other things out of logs. Mrs. Green wasn’t sure if this one was done the same way or not.
Mrs. Green is helping me write about our visit to Lake Junaluska, but she says it is past her bedtime. She promised to write some more tomorrow. We also have to write about visiting the Cherokee Indian Reservation and the Blue Ridge Parkway. There is so much to tell!
