Alaska - Matanuska Glacier

I have an Alaskan Adventure Story to tell you...

Once upon a time there was a gorgeous glacier called Matanuska. A brother and sister decided to visit the glacier but upon arrival realized they weren't able to walk and climb on the glacier.
The glacier was surrounded by evil mud that looked harmless but would steal your shoes if you let it. But that didn't stop the boy, he saw a dirt pile that screamed "CLIMB ME STEVE! CLIMB ME!!" So he ventured out and asked his sister to climb it with him.

The smart sister didn't want to get muddy and said "My momma didn't raise a fool!"

The Steve had to climb the big dirt hill, because he's a boy. He made his way toward the top.

He conquered the evil mud and made it to the top. He was the king of the dirt pile.

But alas it came time to come down and he wasn't exactly sure how to do that. His smart sister kept telling him "I told you not to go, you're going to get stuck in the mud!" He decided to go down with the snow because staying on the snow is the only way to escape the evil mud.

He slid to the safety of the bottom of the dirt pile thanks to the snow, but he forgot about how deep the snow was.

He survived and it was a grand adventure, even if it looks like he's wearing pants instead of shorts.
