Day one:

We got to the campsite late. We would have been a few minutes late, but because of a misplaced Do Not Enter sign on a One Way road, we had to go all the way around the park to get to the campsite.

Once we got there, we began putting up the tent and getting settled in. We then went for a walk to see the largest white pine tree in the park with the rest of the group.

We even found some dead snakes and…

 

trees in the middle of the road.

After that we made some smores quite early in the evening.

And then the kids played some games. At this point the kids didn’t know many of the other kids, but these games got them to know each others’ names.

This was just down the steps from our camp. We saw and heard lots of loons over the course of the trip, day and night.

And every night there was a campfire. Each night was clear, so it was easy to see the stars, and we caught lots of shooting stars and two meteors.
