The Prickly Pear Disaster by Lucy and Mom


There once was a girl named Lucy who went hiking in Sedona and saw a prickly pear that looked like a javelina took a bite out of it. She hiked all the way to the top of the mountain and ate oranges. Then she went down a slide made of rocks. When they got close to the bottom Lucy was winding her way through the prickly pear patch and lost her balance and fell in a prickly pear. Later, her mom said she looked like a bug that was stuck on its back – her arms and legs were waving around and her head was right beside a prickly pear. Her sister, Sophie, started crying when she saw Lucy was hurt. Her mom told her to stay still and wait until she got there. Lucy had pokes in her head and on her shoulder and leg. And when the hike was over her mom sat on a chair to take off her hiking shoes and jumped right back up with an “OW!” because she sat on a prickly pear pin.
