A few days ago – Chloe had a chance to go to Ellenwood Park with the summer camp. She was quite worried to be honest – but like any parents – we want to teach her independence, so we encouraged her to try it out. I have to mention here that this is the first time she is going somewhere without her family – so I have to give her credit for it. But her camp leaders are people that she had known for 2 summers now – so we are confident that they will take good care of them.
So how did it go? well, she came back with a sucker (leech) bite but she was ok. But her biggest complain was that the outhouses stink so bad – she cannot use the outhouse. You see here in Yarmouth, it’s nothing like back home – they don’t have toilets in the camping ground nor the beaches – there are outhouses – meaning no flushing system – eeeewwwwwkkk! right? yes very ewwwwwkkk!! so I really don’t blame her – for not wanting to go to Ellenwood park without us. My city gal!
