Camping according to the Kids' Journals

Miss J: We went camping Friday and Saterday. A racon named arjay was there. I left chips and [Mr. T] left a stering (string) with a stik stuk in the grand (ground). Wile we wher asleep I herd munch munch. And He ate the chips and he undid the trap! It was so grose. (referring to her picture of the bathroom with all the flies in it) The end.

Mr. T: This is a lantern. Cause we got one from going camping. I was looking at the light so I could see. RJ ate the chips last night. I love camping and I like to see raccoons. I don't like poison ivy.
Little E: This is poison ivy. I like the fire. I like camping.

Fire vs. Poison Ivy... hmmmm...

Yummy tin foil dinner - she made hers fries!
Stick gathering for the fire was a constant chore.

Trapping. And yes, all of that behind him is poison ivy. We brought a bit home with us!
