Story+for+the+oregon+trail

1st one My mom took me into a room one day to tell me to pack my things because we were leaving to oregon.I was so excited and yet so scared to beleaving my home and being on a road that is 2000 miles.I was also afraid to go on the trail because of all the stories of people being attacked or dying on the trail.It was a scary and yet exciting at the same time and I couldn't wait to go on this trip. 2nd one Our house was busy for the next few days gathering supplies for the trip.Most of the stuff we had to buy like medicine for when we get sick and food so that we wouldn't starve.But most importantly we had to buy oxen for the trip, they may be slow but they can carry alot of weight which is better than a horse can. It took up much of our time and each and every minute was eating me up to the point where I couldn't wait any longer. 3rd one finally the day had come when we would set off on our long expedition.We loaded up our praire schooner, hooked up the oxen and got in and and set off.of course it did take most of the day to load our belonging and the oxen well they were just being plain stubborn but finally we got everything in order.I was along and strenuous day but we did finally set off at noon.The oxen weren't the most into being hooked up to a schooner. 4th one On the first day we passed a field that looked fine but we noticed something in the distance.Me being nosy as I am jumped out of of the schooner and ran over to the object.When I got to it i nearly screamed it was a schooner tipped over and torn apart like fire wood.I told my parents and they said it was probably attacked and that we should head out so that we wouldn't lose ant time.I think they were just afraid thjat they might be attacked and wanted to get as far away as possible but I wanted to stay because I had never seen a broken schooner before and it was interesting. 5th one On the way we met some other tavelers.I really like one of the couples.They had horses instead of oxen and they let us ride them.Thjey didn't have any children but they were really nice.We didn't stay with them long because we were only taking a small stop so that we could move our legs and eat picnic style.the couple ate with us and we found that they lived near us now that was really cool. 6th one We kept going for days at a time and getting restless each and every minute of it. Then one day we were held up for the whole day because of buffalo.They moved so slow and there was about over a thousand of them so put that math together and you get a long day of restlessness. By the time there was even enough of them by so we could get by it was night time and time to set up camp to sleep.The horizen was beautiful that day but when your restless you really don't notice it you just notice how much you want to run around with the other kids.But the buffalo were still sort of there so we couldn't go far. 7th one The next day when we woke up and the sky was cloudy but still okay enough to drive in but unfortunautly we slept a little late so we had a slow start which set us back.The praire was windy but still it looked like a sea of green. It was a good day for traveling and many of the travelers had left early.My father had let me sit up front that day and help him drive the oxen on such a beautiful day. With the good weather driving the oxen wasn't to hard but it was beyond my level so when we stopped to eat lunch I decided I didn't like driving and helped mom with the picnic. 8th one Finally our journey had ended and we got to oregon.We bought a house with a small farm and although the house was really small it was really cozy.We ended up selling the oxen to buy some cattle and horses.the land was good for farming so we planted some seeds to grow.It was a really awesome trip on the oregon trail but it was even better when we finally got to our cozy little farm.If you had gone on the trip you would have seen how hard it was to travel but also how good it was to get to oregon and see bew land.
