The Camping Trip
“Get up now !” I heard somebody scream in my ear . It was a Saturday , I couldn’t see what was so special about today besides the fact that there was no school . I wanted to sleep . Wait, it is Saturday !!! Camping time !!! I rushed down the stairs as fast as my legs could carry me . Camping only happened once every year , I wasn’t going to miss it .
“I’m here, what did I miss ?”
“Nothing , now start packing,” replied my mother . So I got out my suitcase and started packing . T- shirts , pants , skirts , jackets , a water bottle , sleeping bag , books , bracelets and a camera . I’m ready .
As we get everything into the car I watch as the trees sway in the breeze , so peaceful. It was going to be like this at camp .
“We’re ready to go now,” shouted my dad as the last suitcase was loaded . I eyed my sister, she eyed the front seat , I made a dive for it. Every year she sat at the front but not this year .
“Oh no you don’t!!” she screamed . But after a shocking turn of events I managed to get to the front seat first . “YEEEES !!!! FINALLY,” ooops, a bit too loud I thought as I heard shutters open and people groan in the neighbourhood.
When we crossed the bridge I knew now we were at the camp , Camp Thames. I was so excited, my eyes darted from place to place exploring everything , feeding on every detail .
The car pulled to a stop . I hopped out . The air was so fresh, I breathed it in . This camp was going to be the best .
I unloaded my things from the car and chose a tent , a starry deep blue one and then I unpacked my things happily while thinking about the look on my sister’s face when I took the front seat .
The camp was great. We roasted marshmellows in the night and in the morning we went canoeing, during midday we would go hiking , take photos and read books.
When we went back I had such good memories, I would treasure them funny , beautiful , emotional and classic.
Until next time Clare
