Camping

I went to the high school after class today to take E's camping gear to her. She's going on an overnight trip with the school's Environmental Club. The students had been debating all week whether to go on the trip. Because of last week's flooding rains, the campground was still reportedly muddy and they thought it might be cold. They decided to rough it since they've been waiting to do this for two years and go! And today was in the mid-60s so hopefully the ground dried out a bit and it will stay warm enough overnight. The club's adviser told the kids to pack light - she had a small overnight bag, a pillow, sleeping bag and a grocery bag with her gym shoes and clementines (to share for breakfast) in it. Each student was asked to bring something for Saturday's breakfast to share with the group. They're supposed to return to the high school around 10:30 a.m. so there won't be time to make a fire in the morning. No fire, no cooking. That really limits the breakfast choices, especially since one girl immediately volunteered to bring Pop-Tarts.

B and L were off of school today for an Institute Day so L and I did a little shopping. We found her two nice dresses at Burlington Coat Factory, where we hardly ever go. Here's one of them:
