My mom was so impressed with all the facts I knew about moose! I developed the pictures we took during the nature walks and some of them came out really good. I’m going to make a scrapbook of our trip. There’s a great one of the boys posing in the wet suits, it’s funny.
So thanks again for your time and effort throughout the trip. I hope I will get another opportunity to do it again sometime, maybe during the winter with some new things to try!” –McKenzie, Dynamy, Inc.
