K made it back safely from the Algonquin Park camp. He said it was fun, 'kinda'. It turns out it was a 2 minute walk from the bus to the base camp, so he was fine pulling his load on wheels. They slept the first night at the base camp and had chicken fingers and rice for dinner. The next day they did some canoeing and rafting in their swimsuits. In the evening their leader gave them all hiking bags and told them to put what they needed in it for the mile and a half hike to their camp. K used the old shoes we had packed to walk across a rocky stream to the campsite. He even used his raincoat as it was raining. He said the night in the tent was very cold. He used 4 layers of clothes including a down vest I had sent and his 3 season sleeping bag and his blanket. The leader heated spaghetti from cans over a kettle on the campfire for dinner. They also had salad. They toasted marshmallows and smores. K was able to brush his teeth that night in the bushes using water from his water bottle. The kids that don't wear braces didn't bother brushing. They relieved themselves in the bushes as they didn't want to walk to the 'weird' outhouse a bit farther in the dark. There were regular toilets back at the base camp which sounds like it was heated. Sorry about the toilet details, but I seem to find that stuff important.
It seems a distracted mom crashed her car into a cement post at L's school this morning. An ambulance and firetruck were called to the scene and no one could get into the school after that. Luckily M dropped her off a bit earlier this morning. Hope the mom is ok.
