Roar and Snore part 2
So, here comes the part where I explain a few things about this troop. The top photo is of a premium tent. They have a bed, a water cooler, lights, bedding, a fan and a gift bag with travel mugs for everyone. Ok, we all got t-shirts, but this was a big difference between the "haves" and the "have nots". Unfortunately, our troop decided that it was ok to have some of the girls that had wealthy parents stay in the premium tents and those that did not have wealthy parents stay in the other tents. Out of the girls that came, only 4 out of the 9 girls stayed in the regular tents, the other girls not in the count were siblings of girls in the troop. There were two that stayed in the premium and one that stayed in our area. The only reason the premium tents were offered to begin with was because one of the moms required electricity for her breathing machine that she wears to sleep. Thus began the division. My second complaint was that when we were supposed to meet at 6:15 with the tour guide, only about 8 of the 21 were there on time. We didn't get going until 7pm! Now I may be a little less laid back than most people, but I figure that girl scouts should be punctual especially if it is an inconvenience to someone if they are not! Ok, so that rant is over. So then we went on our little tour and some of the moms noticed my little clip on "off" fan. They thought it was pretty funny that I was so bug paranoid, but hey, it was dusk and there was a lot of water area we were going through! Those of you who know me know that I am the first one the bugs migrate to, and I wasn't about to sleep with bug bites, so sue me! Anyway, by the end of our little hike/tour, they were all standing by me! Kaleigh had one too and all the girls were hovering around her too! : ) hehe.
So the tour was cool we saw a lot that we normally wouldn't see so well, and it was interesting.
So on to the last part of our adventure!
