Visiting Camp

Forty eight small tents have appeared on our field and the children were eager to find out what was happening.  We went for a walk to visit camp and saw some of the children biking and having fun on the water slide.  They all thought camp looked like a great place to stay.

"It must be fun sleeping in a tent with your friends!"

"That looks great fun.  I wish I had my togs," said Attah
