Annnabelle's Camp Out Adventure

Annabelle went on a two night, three day, camp out with her Girl Scout Troop.

Here's her story:

Daddy got me there and Mary picked me up and we put up the tent. After that, we went to the playground that was at the campsite and played. Then, we went back and we had our sack lunch dinner. I had a peanut butter sandwich since Daddy forgot my sack dinner. Then, we sat up our sleeping bags. We were going to roast marshmellows, but it started raining. It started hailing. When the lightning started, we ran for the bathrooms and the visitor center that was there. We had to stay in the bathrooms for about 2 hours! We played crossword puzzles in the bathrooms. After that, we went back to the tent, and went to bed. I was up to "like one in the morning" since it was hard to sleep on the ground.

We woke up the next morning. I had eggs, bacon, and grilled toast (it was good!). I didn't drink the orange juice since it didn't taste good.

After breakfast we went on a really long hike. We went on a trail and it took about an hour. We identified flowers and mushrooms on the hike.

Then, after the hike, we went back to the campsite and we had lunch. I had a turkey sandwich. Everybody made their own sandwich. We also had grapes.

After that, we went to the visitors center, and watched a film about Zebulon Pike and then we went to the playground.

Then, it was dinner time. I had TWO HAMBURGERS and grapes and beans! We roasted marshmellows and then we went to bed.

On Sunday morning we woke up at 6:00 AM and had cereal. Then we packed up our sleeping bags. Then, we got to play Girl Scout games. We then put all the stuff from the tent away and took down the tent. Then we did a couple more games and it was finally time to go!

We drove to the park entrance and Daddy picked me up at 9:00 AM!

It was SO MUCH FUN!
