Ashton loved adventures. His favourite place was on the coast because it was full of interesting animals and great places to explore.

His family thought it was a great idea. "Alright”, said Ashton's mother, "let's plan our trip for tomorrow after school."

There was a lot of women at school picking up their children that Ashton told about his trip.

Ashton's cousins, Jack and his brother Kelly, asked to come along. Ashton asked his friend, Mia to come as well. He wouldn’t leave anyone out.

The next day, Ashton and his family bought everything they needed. They got tents, fishing rods, and food.
11

Ashton's father said, "Remember to pack warm clothes. It can get cold at night."
12
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
They all work together to pack the car until it was full. We can’t get any more in said Ashton.
13

Ashton was so excited he couldn't stop talking about the fish he would catch. He didn’t want to lose any!
14

They drove through the countryside, across rivers and around mountains.
15

Ashton saw animals he had never seen before. "Look! A wombat!" he shouted.
16
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
His sister laughed, "You really love
animals, don't you?" Ashton
nodded, smiling. We couldn’t, and wouldn’t, go anywhere without you noticing animals even though we are in a hurry.

After many hours, they arrived at their camping spot. It was near a beautiful lake.
18

"This is perfect," Ashton's mother said. They started to build their camp. Ashton helped his father set up the tents.
19

His cousins and sister collected wood for a fire. They know they will need a lot.

That night, while they were eating dinner, a woman walked across their campsite. She was a local who lived nearby.
21
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
"Hello! I saw your fire and thought I'd say hi," she said. The family invited her to join them.
22
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
She told them stories about the area and its animals. Ashton listened, fascinated. He had never met someone who knew so much about the wilderness.
23
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
The next morning, Ashton woke up early. It was time to go fishing.
24
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
He and his father walked to the lake. They cast their lines and waited. Minutes felt like hours.
25
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
Ashton asked, "Do you think we'll catch anything?" "Just wait and see," his father replied with a smile.
26
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
Suddenly, Ashton felt a tug on his line. "I caught something!" he shouted.
27
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
With his father's help, Ashton reeled in a fish. "Wow! It's beautiful," he said. His father was proud. "You did great, Ashton."
28
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
We should release the fish back into the water, as we wouldn’t be able to use it as it’s too small.
29
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
We shouldn’t take anything we can’t use from the water

The rest of the day was full of fun. They went hiking and saw more animals. Ashton thought it was the best adventure ever.
31
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
At night, they sat around the fire, telling stories and laughing. Ashton felt happy to be with his family.
32
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
When it was time to go home, Ashton felt sad. "I don't want to leave," he said. His mother hugged him. "We'll come back," she promised.
33
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
As they drove home, Ashton thought about his adventure. He couldn't believe how much fun he had.
34
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
He decided he would always remember this trip, so he bought a toy animal.
35
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
Ashton learned a lot about fishing, camping, and nature. He also learned how important it is to spend time with family.
36
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
He realised adventures were great, but being with the people he loved was the best part of any adventure.
37
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
Ashton's adventure was over, but he knew there would be many more. He already couldn't wait for the next one.
38
Annie Oakley, The Little Black Labrador, Learns to LISTEN
"Next time, let's explore a different place," he said. His family agreed.
They all knew that together, they could have fun anywhere.
