Lala's Essay

            Hello, my name is Laura, I am 10 years young, I'm in fourth grade, and I am the daughter of Jon and Marcy Colombini. I am going to be telling about my off grid life. I live off grid and it is very fun and hard work. Although i miss spending almost all day on the laptop, I love living up here. That is why I'm writing this, but another reason is that it is a contest between me, my brother and sister, and i am going to win the contest because I am the prettiest, smartest and most awesome kid in my family.

 

            I live in a big camper with a big room built onto it. I can't wait until we move down the hill and take baths in the spring (in our bathing suits of course). We don't have city water so we have a spring we get water from. At the spring we have a hydraulic ram pump which  moves the water uphill through a hose to the water  tanks and it uses no power. We also don't have electricity from the electric company so we have solar panels, batteries, and a generator.

          We built a wonderfully awesome  chicken coop the other day. We also have lots of eggs in our incubator in our house. Some of the awesome eggs are Muscovy Ducks, chickens, turkeys, and guineas. I also love taking care of all the different animals that we have. That is why i love living here on this awesome mountain.
