Day 5: Date- 7/19/1976
Phew...i thought i wasn't going to make it, though there is a high probability my fears are irrelevant.... i'm not sure what to believe anymore, i asked mom over breakfast is she believed in monsters... i wasn't expecting her to say 'yes' honestly... though it sounded like she had proof behind her word, i didn't press on it though, i was too tired. We had oatmeal today, it was better because mom added cinnamon to it! MMM, i loved it....
Mom just told me to get ready to go again, we're finally going on our little trip! and i was right! we ARE going camping! I'm so excited.... but i guess i should be worried? Oh well, mom can protect me if anything happens. I know it won't but it's always good to re-assure myself right? Well, i just wanted to update you before i left, hopefully mom will let me stay up late tonight to tell you about my day! it's gonna be so much fun i know it! well, see you later friend!
Oh my Celestia! Today was absolutely amazing! we went hiking through the Everfree! one of the places mom NEVER let me go, to be honest it's surprisingly peaceful, there aren't as many dangerous things out here as the townsponies say...... but maybe something scared them away.... oh i shouldn't be trying to scare myself before bed, i don't want nightmares after all. But yes, onto my day! at first we didn't think we'd be able to get out of the house, the power went out, and we had to find something to do with the food before it would spoil, thankfully an hour later the power came back on, nothing went bad thankfully. Mom decided to go talk to the owner to see what the problem was.... she came back with no answer, he had no idea what happened. I think it was my stalker trying to scare me again, but I ignored it. Anyway, we got re-packed after the little incident, and set out around three p.m. Thankfully we lived right near the forest, so it took us only a few minutes to get there. Of course i was nervous but mom reassured me it would be fun, so i smiled and ran head first inside with mom following close behind, we ran for a good hour, mom was completely out of breath! i think she needs to exercise more, but i can't really complain, she works so much.... well... we climbed a rather steep hill, and when we got to the top the sun was already setting, we had a brilliant view over the forest, all the trees swaying in the wind. Mom pulled me away from it to help her set up a tent for the night, it was hard, kept falling over or collapsing on itself, we tried at least ten times before there was a missing piece, mom groaned at her carelessness, and opted to just lay out under the stars with sleeping bags.... someday i hope to be as bright as one of those stars, i'd love to be able to make mom happy... even now she's frowning in her sleep....
Sorry about that, i heard some rustling in the trees below and i had to check it out, there was nothing, no footprints on the ground so it must just have been a bird, still, can't take any chances right? Oh well, i need to blow out my candle now, so i will talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight.
