At lunch we all gathered around the campfire and cooked our hot dogs. Then at 1:00 we made a fire competition to see who was best at making fires. My teammate and I won 2nd place. It was like taking candy from a baby.
Next, at around 2:30 my dad surprised us with bannock, an aboriginal bread, and we cooked it on sticks over the fire. It tasted great. The outside tasted like normal bread, but the inside tasted like cheese.
The next thing that happend was really awesome. The leaders gave us compasses and challenged us to find pieces of papers hidden throughout the forest. On each piece of paper there were coordinates to the next one. I was in the Yellow team so we had to find the yellow paper. We won the race because the other team forgot to pick up their pieces of paper so they had to go back collect them. We also found golf ball (WIN)!!! From my point of view I think this was to test our orientation skills.
After all that, we started to make dinner (chili and caesar salad). Next we hade some hot chocolate for dessert. It was really outstanding. Then Akela and Baloo told us stories about the monsters who live in the woods. They called them the "Wa-Ha-Hoo-Ees". Some kids got freaked out, but I knew it was only a story.
By that time, it was dark out, so my friends and I went into our tent and started doing everything we needed to do in order to go to sleep. Since it was raining it was a bit hard to fall asleep but eventually everyone was snoring.
Sunday morning, it was freezing outside so we made a fire to keep everyone warm. Afterwards my dad decided to prepare a snack. We actually cooked our own raisin and cinnamon toast! Then we ate the real breakfast meaning; bacon, pancakes, watermelons and even some more hot chocolate. Then, we all packed up to go back home. It felt thrilling to be camping again.
Hope you liked this short story of my Weekend. Next time, I'll talk/show all the badges I got Bye!
