Sam's Birthday

June 13th 1805
Dear Journal,
Today felt like a long day! We had to wake up early which wasn't to fun, but the only person who was happy to wake up was Sam because today was his birthday!! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Sam, happy birthday to you!
 Today was a challenging day! Clark's party moved 13 miles, with Sacagawea remaining very sick. Lewis walked ahead while his men were hunter and he heard the would of waterfalls, and reaches a 200'-high cascade at noon. Here are the Great falls of the Missouri River! The river's edges are sheer bluffs deeply cut by ravines, which meant we could not tow the boats over the falls, but will have to carry everything for miles across the prairie. Just out luck and trust me it wasn't to fun doing this!
What a day I'm glad all of that hard work is over! I hope Sam enjoyed it even though it wasn't such a good day! It's getting late and I have no more energy to write anymore so once again happy birthday Sam [:
