Camp Bourndale II




Camp Bourndale was so AWESOME!!!I was just excited about the bus ride.We got to ride in a nice coach bus with a bathroom and we even watched a movie.When we got there,we went into a gym for the "orientation speech".Then we got to our cabins and unpacked.Went to lunch,washed up in our cabins, and headed off for Plimoth Plantation.It was SOOO cool!!We got to meet pilgrims and one guy was talking about different ways they got executed.Isn't that pleasant?We talked to one lady about her and another family's cow and calf.Someone on my camera took a picture of the poop.Don't blame me I wasn't the one who did it. There was another lady that we helped get wood for the fire in her home.After the Plymouth,pilgrim part we went to the Wamponoag village. One man was making duck soup, and another guy was making a boat.They spoke in present time unlike the pilgrims so it was a little easier to talk to them.To take a picture of the pilgrim we were talking to we had to say, "May I take your portrait?" It was a little strange, but they let us go ahead and take one. Then we went into an Indian longhouse.The woman inside said that the one we were in was smaller than the average longhouse and it was pretty big.After, we were on the buses again and onto the Mayflower II. I wouldn't want to be stuck on there with 120 people!Then we moved on to Plymouth Rock.It turns out it split and while the masoners were fixing it,a small part of it came off.It turns out that one teacher in MY school has it.Isn't that cool?We were on the buses again to camp Bourndale for dinner and sleep.There was a birthday in our cabin so we got extra cake.We went to bed at 10:30.Then we got up the next morning at 6:30.We packed,brushed our teeth, and went off for breakfast.After breakfast we went to our classes. After we had lunch and were on the buses and heading home.
