Hey guys. I remembered this one time at the end of Tourist Trapped, Dipper wrote an entry journal about the gnomes and about how the journal helped him through that day. Well, what if Dipper wrote a journal entry for all of the strangest encounters he had? Read and find out what Dipper has to say about his crazy adventures in Gravity Falls.
Enjoy

Dear Journal,
What was suppose to be a normal day, turned into yet another strange day in Gravity Falls. More stranger than the gnomes pretending to be a pale teenager and attempt to kidnap my twin sister. I will always try to forget about that day, but I will never forget today. This day will live on in my memories, no matter how much I grow up.
After Mabel and I had our friendly syrup race, I stumbled upon an add in the "Wacky News" which said about a monster photo contest. Mabel and I see weirder stuff everyday in this town. Plus, the grand prize was $1,000. If Mabel and I won, we could split the prize equally. We knew exactly what we were going to do today.
But of course, our plans were put on hold.
Today was Grunkle Stan's annual family bonding day. However, his bonding days always turn out to be the worst. Let us forget about "Family Counterfeit Money Day"; that county jail was so cold! Anyways, Stan insisted that Mabel and I go fishing with him today. However, I can never catch anything with those creepy fishing lures. They're always looking at me!
Grunkle Stan had the whole day set up: 10 hours on a lake while reading jokes from the "1001 Yuk 'Em Ups" book. Luckily, Mabel and I were able to dodge that bullet when the towns lunatic, Old Man McGucket, came screaming and said that lake monster of Gravity Falls almost attacked him. Of course no one in town believed him, yet Mabel and I believed it would be a great time to do a mystery hunt, along with Soos.
Plus, snapping a photo of the lake monster could let us spend $500 on anything we wished for.
After searching for hours, we finally found it. Yet we were almost killed several times on land and water. We couldn't shake the lake monster off of our trail; even when we tried to hide in a cave behind the waterfall. I thought today would be the end of my short life, but thank goodness it was wedged between to opening of the cave. With it stuck, I was able to get some good shots for the photo contest. This was such an incredible discovery, but the biggest mystery was revealed when its eyes were flickering and its body was turned out to be made of metal. After careful investigation, it turned out that the lake monster was made by the old kook who claimed it was real.
The photo contest was flushed right down the drain. Mabel and I felt like idiots for abandoning Grunkle Stan to go this adventure in the first place. However, we were able to make it up by spending the rest of the day with him, until sunset. With the last role of film, we were able to take pictures which will always remind me of this special day with our great uncle.
After everything that has happened today, I think I will think twice before I make a rational decision. And, even though Grunkle Stan's family bonding days either don't go as planned, or end up in disaster, I will always appreciate the effort he puts in to bond with my twin sister and I, even if we don't show it.
