Tenting at Camp

Kate Walsh —

PUMPKIN! That was the first thing you would hear in the morning. Sleeping in the tents was a whole new world. Please allow me to tell you what happened with those tents.

First of all I will tell you some important facts about the tents. These tents were not put up magically; we had to build them. Lots of groups struggled with the build. This was no easy task for the newbies to tents. My group found it pretty straight forward.

All you had to do was connect the poles to make the tent stand up. After all of the tents were built we went to make dinner but i'm not talking about that I'm talking tents.

When it arrived time to hit the hay, that is not what most people decided to do. Lots of people thought it would be a good idea to talk for 2 HOURS! Due to that my tent group and I were unable to fall asleep for that time. I'm certain other groups had the same problem. Everything seemed to settle down when it got deeper into the night. When it got to morning the whole talking started over again. That is where the PUMPKIN! Ritual began.

PS: Special mention is for Elani for her famous quote. That quote was MISS WALSH!
