At the start of the trail

Right..sorry it has been a while since I last wrote one of these. This site went down, and has lost one of my previous entries...as for the others..no idea where they are.

Anyway, we have had session 3. The kids were pains in the backside to say the least.

A few highlights..the application trail.

For those of you who do not know what that is, i'll try and explain.

It is a 3000 mile hike from Maine, North USA - Georgia, South USA. It can take people 6 months to do it..and is certainly a once in a life time thing.

We only did 4 miles of it! And didn't leave the New Jersey part of the mountains.

We had a fun filled 36 hours after the typical close to a session. We went to watch the Transformers and Simpsons movie. I don't really recommend either to be honest..apart from the Spider Pig in The Simpsons!

We then went to a standard Camp Nejeda hotel party. 15 of us spread across 3 rooms in a dodgy motel on route 206.

The next day, with a hangover, we went trail riding on horseback. It

WOW

lasted an hour and was a nice relaxing day.

That evening, after we had a pizza and swim party, we drove into New York state to go watch a movie at the drive-in. Typical American! The drive was 1 and 1/2 hours - and we arrived to find out it had sold out. So on the quiet ride home, we found the coolest thing ever. A place that had go kart racing and an 18 hole crazy golfcourse, for only $10 (£5) to do a round of both.

We got back to camp at 1am (curfew was 11pm!) And had to wake up at 6:30am for session 4 campers. I am now in a cabin with the older kids. They are great..this is certainly the best session coming up..shame it is the last.

Check out the photos..including the ones of cool bugs we found.
