Rain, Hail, Snow...I know let's go Camping


Yes, in the midst of the worse spring weather we've had to date, the Navan Girl Guide troops had their annual end of year camp at MacSkimming this weekend. I'd gone out Friday afternoon and kitted the girls out with $200 worth of rain gear - jackets, pants, hats. Good thing too. With the temperature in the single digits and the rain/hail/snow pelting down, they certainly needed it.

Caroline, not the happiest of campers

The cook house was nice an toasty, and they kept the wood stoves in the log cabins going all day, but I'm sure it was still a test of their endurance.


We came back Sunday morning to a bunch of very excited little girls who looked like they had the time of their life, and a bunch of very tired looking leaders who looked like...well who looked like they spent all weekend in the cold and wet trying to keep 60 plus little girls entertained and happy. My hat goes off to each and every one of them.

Nice entry Barb! We have had some crazy weather as well. It should never snow after I have started mowing the lawn!
