Camping







We took our environmental patrol camping. It was so excellent. There really isnt an outdoor culture here and taking kids outside is sort of a big deal. Parents wont send their children unless they know they will keep an average body temp of above 102 and eat 9 square meals a day. I had to bite my tongue a few times during the process because its not exactly what i think of as camping. But of course the kids LOVED it. It even rained and was pretty cold. We did a trash pick up and taught about the local environment. We stayed on a Nature Preserve and were able to get the kids into the local museum as well. Also thanks to Mamma Hannon, we had smores. Unfortunately the trip across the ocean didnt treat them too well and it became a bag of one enormous mallow instead of individuals guys. Taste was the same, and everyone was happy. The local TV caught wind of this and i had to give an interview. Because i am beyond initial learning and people arent really as suprised to hear me talk anymore - after the airing i got a serious dose of jokes coming my way about they way i talked. In my defense i am very conscious about not saying "um" which means vagina. (i wasnt gonna type the meaning, but i had to convey how much this weighs down on me pretty much every time i open my mouth). But there are some local pause words that i think sound awesome and apparently i use them...alot. In short camping was great.
