The Final Countdown

Right now some of you may be hearing the song “The Final Countdown” by Europe in your head, and, sadly, this is my last and final blog for this English project. But before I say goodbye to those of you who read my blog I would like to finally finish describing this park to you people. To me this park is a lot like a second home, a home with less drama, more grass, and little kids trying to impress their parents, grandparents, or siblings. Those of us with sibling know how that when one sibling does something to impress their parents or grandparents it will eventually lead to more showing off and occasionally an injury. The specific type of tree that grows there is commonly called a Quaking Aspen or trembling Aspen. It’s Genus and Species is Populus tremuloides.  It populates most of the western hemisphere and is native to Canada, Alaska, France, the lower forty-eight states of the United States. It has a perennial growing habit.  Following is a picture of the Quaking Aspen and another one showing where the tree grows:

Finally, I would like to thank all of the people who have actually read my blog over the past school year so. I have had a wonderful time watching the Scooter Squad and their many adventures and in the future i hope you too can see the Scooter Squad and their somewhat glory.

The Scooter Crew Gang Squad Thing

 These past couple days while I have been observing the Scooter Squad I have noticed that they are a lot like a small gang. One might ask why I call them a small gang, I do call them a small gang because they all have their own secret handshake and they wear the same color, black. It could be me just being superstitious but I highly think they are like a small gang. Another thing that I noticed was that they have started to use some foreign language when they are there at the park. Why they have started this foreign language confuses me, some possible answers to this question are that they noticed me observing them, or they are actually doing something to benefit their education, however the real answer still eludes me.
                They were not at the park for a couple days this week, to put it lightly it has started to get very cold and the tree’s leaves are starting to fall to the ground in increasing numbers as they prepare for the cold winter and snow that will soon come in the mere future.  A lot of the trees at the park are Aspen trees according to “Garden Guides”.  Aspens range from 40 to 50 feet in height and spread like rabbits having babies.
