outdoor habitat

^not for me haha. Camping was fun noneless!
(long post, sit tight.)

Site: #76, Canisbay, Algonquin.

Left the comforts of flushing toilets at 9am and arrived at the campsite at 2ish. We split up into 2 to set up the tents for ourselves and janice's parents. Grace, David, Alex, and I finished the bigger tent waaaay before the other losers :] "push the pole in!" & million other jokes, guys will always be guys. After they finished, they came back and we furnished the tent with air mattress and sleeping bags. This is where I would have a picture, but I was too lazy to bring my camera.

The day t'was still young, so we played some cards. Real original and camp like I know ._." WINNER'S MATTRESS YEAHH. <- mean mean people, ended up staying with gracie on the other side for the later half of the game. David couldn't stand how unactive&camp-like playing cards with, so we all went for a walk. Didn't last very long, apparently we walked roughly the length of alex's driveway. Played guessing games afterwards, I'm improving haha. Janice had her lil winning streak xD

Dinnnnnnner dragged into late night snack time! Parents had to help us make the fire after Nick' numerous tries. We all suck at skewering hotdogs haha. Shoulda went out and bought better skewers, almost burnt myself (Janice did). Had some pizza too, bottom = burnt, top = lukewarm @_@" Shoulda waited for fire to die down to coals and cook it in that. S'mores were yummy. Grace&Nick are very uptight about perfectly toasted marshmallows.

Night time, where the fun begins.
All was well, we all were in bed (with much debating), someone said they heard something. Uh huh... People went out and saw stuff in the food tent was displaced. Weird, but whatever, back to sleep. A few minutes later, "omg I hear it again! Gogogo!" Hmm this is getting scary, we all stayed outside and waited for it to come back. I question what "it" is, people insist it's other people. David's theory goes that they think we have beer in the cooler. "Shh" goes janice. "THERE IT IS AGAIN! GO GO!" But we were too slow and "it" has escaped again. Change of plan, everyone go back to sleep while Janice, David, and Nick patrols outside."oh Nick you brought a bat? Janice get the knifes from the food tent!" Haha now we're armed and Grace is really scared. "It" came by again, and escaped again, oh our fruitless chase. Alex gets called out to help. This lasted till 3am, when everyone was finally convinced that "it" were raccoons, which imo is worse than people "they don't giveeee uppppp".
Time of falling asleep & end of this madness: 3am
Interruptions during sleep: rain dripping on face, snoring people, raccooooooooons @_@" Some more came and they were fighting over the food. They sound meaner than most dogs D<
Time of waking up in the middle of the night: 4am
Saw that David was up and decided to go for a walk. Stupid Nick tied the zippers together, trapping us in D: Much effort went into getting out. The woods look soooooo coooooooool, again no picture, so use your imagination.
Time of refalling asleep: 4 somethingish?
Time of deciding to get up: 7.
fiveeeeee hours of sleep, not that bad. I'm hoping I'll last till 11.

Got up, damage control @ food tent. They ate all the junk food and didn't touch Alex's stash, pity. Breakfast consisted of watermelons. More packing up afterwards and we headed home~

1.5hour more, must not fall asleeeeeep.

Raccoons are party animals. Give them a spotlight and they'll dance like it's Saturday night! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-wQiBlclVM
