Fajita Has More Questions than Answers
What is going on with this tree? Are all the trees weird and lumpy in Colorado? Who made these tunnely things? Who built the tunnels through the mountains? Why do they call it “purple mountains majesty” when these mountains are definitely brown… or sometimes white?
Can I go off-roading now that I have a car key? Where’s the car? Is it full of gas?
Ooh, I’d be happy to take a horse ride instead. Where did they get those horses? What are the Ute celebrating when they were having this fancy parade? How long did it take to make that regalia?
Since Miss Southern Ute was crowned and then got to ride in a parade, she must be important. What did she do to earn that title? Do kangaroos qualify? Can I be crowned something else cool? Can’t you just see me as Mx Jumping Genius? Can I just be in a parade and ride on the car? Or drive the car?
How much water do their traditional water baskets hold? How much water does the girls’ basketball team drink? How long will it take me to finish off this water bottle? Will it give me a stomach ache? Why is it called your stomach, anyway?
How come there are pictures of food that look so yummy, but you’re not allowed to eat them? Would they taste like they look? How come paper isn’t flavored like ice cream? When will I get a snack?
Hooray! A snack! Thanks, friends! Also, where is that grocery store? Can we go there? Can I climb into that tree fully of tasty-looking berries? Can I become a professional tree climber? Or food eater?
Why did they make this bed shaped like a shoe? Can I sleep here forever? Are those moccasins comfortable? Who invented them? How come Yeti won’t let me sleep in it instead? Can I invent something and become rich and famous? Has anyone tried to make a orangutan merry-go-round? Can you pretend you never read that, so I can be the inventor and become rich and famous?
How many different kinds of shelter are there? Are some better than others? Can we go camping, like in this picture? Do we really have to read about shelters and do this practice one, or can we just make one for real?
Do you like our shelter? Can you guess how long it took us to build?
Are you kidding me- three days? We built that amazing wikiup in about 3 hours. Can you believe that? Would you hire us to make you a shelter and then pay me in snacks?
Why is this called a “bird bath” when it has neither birds nor bath supplies? Can it be considered a bath if you do it without water and soap? Can I skip baths forever and just go swimming instead? Will you tell my mama for me so I don’t have to listen to her answer?
How on earth do you turn off a canoe? Don’t canoes go into the water instead of spraying out water? And why do they turn it off? When will they turn it back on? Will they have a pool party for the opening of the canoe fountain? Can I go? Why does this camp have so many cool pools?
When will it be summer so I can go swimming again? Is it time yet? How about now? How about now? Is it summer now? How about now?
