Daisy Camping Trip

Elizabeth was a Daisy this year. This is the youngest group in Girl Scouts. This year they planned an overnight camping trip at a ranch just outside of the city limits. Da Qian Ranch was the name. We boarded buses at Concordia with other groups of girls from all of the participating Pudong area troops. There were 4 bus loads of girls and moms.

The Daisies had to bring a mom while the older girls (brownies, juniors) were assigned chaperones. The Daisies and moms got private cabins. You can see they were nice cabins that slept 3 people and had private bathrooms. More on the bathroom later.

ELizabeth met a lot of nice girls from another troop from YCIS (Yew Chung International School). They did lots of activities ranging from learning how to tie a knot in a rope, making an edible campfire, treasure hunt, singing songs, horseback riding, a boat ride, and a bonfire.

At night after the bonfire, we went back to our cabin. As Elizabeth was going to the bathroom, I heard a scream ...very loud one. I ran in to find her completely freaked out by the huge COCKROACHES on the floor. If you know me, you know that I don't care for bugs. However, since Kirk wasn't there to rescue us, I had to. I killed one and the other one scampered away. Where to, only God knows but we didn't see him for the rest of the night.

Great time!
