Fur Trading Companies

I believe that the Pacific Fur Company was the most successful because, according to Stephenie Flora, the man who owned the company, John Aster, monopolized the fur trade.  This means that his business did the best because he put the other companies out of business.  According to Dale A. Lambert, Aster also set up Fort Astoria, the first outpost on the Pacific coast owned by Americans.



Fur trading companies sought out sea otters, foxes, and many other animals to make furs out of.

Spring Break

The most interesting thing I did over spring break was have a sleepover.  Becca, Brittney, Makinzie, and Erin (the last two are my sister's friends) stayed the night and we had a ton of fun!  We played Left 4 Dead 2, arcade games, mini basketball, pool, darts, and many other games.  4:00 am was when half of us went to sleep, and the other half went to sleep at 6:00 am.  In the morning, we walked to HQ (Heights Elementary).  Brittney, Becca, Sophie (my sister), and I all have "second lives".  Brittney is Spawn, Becca is Ryan, Sophie is Sophitia, and I am Taki (they are all Soul Calibur characters).  Anyway, that is the most interesting thing I did over spring break.
