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:
This blog is about a park that I go to rather often. This park isn't special to others but to me this park is the place of many happy events throughout my life. This park usually empty except for the occasional kid that brags their parent along because they really want to play or I ask a friend to pass by so I am not entirely alone the whole time I am there.

The Final Countdown

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.
