My Family Road Trip Acrostic Poem by Maeve

Fabulous national parks
Atrocious smells (at the sea sometimes)
Mountains (Rocky and rocky)
Ice cream (lots! and unusual flavours!)
Laughing (like when Sam tried a dot of hot salsa and his eyes popped and he screeched)
Yikes! (so high, climbing up the mountains and canyons)

Red rocks
Octopus (at the Birch Aquarium, tentacles so cool)
Awesome cactic (way bigger than my dad)
Dogs on the street (so many strays in Mexico)

Tenting most nights (sometimes setting up in the dark with funny yodeling from elk nearby)
Riptides (so strong, why we couldn't go swimming in the ocean)
Interesting plants and creatures and landscapes
Picnics in unusual places (like at the side of a washed out road or on the edge of a cliff)
