First evening

[alt_sinistra]

For any parents who want to check in, I just wanted to take a moment to post. Everyone is safely arrived (and my thanks to everyone - Ministry staff, parents, and others - who helped make all of that happen.)

We spent the afternoon setting up the tents, and then getting things together for dinner.

Tonight's meal is quite simple - mostly foods that one can easily cook over a campfire - but tomorrow, we'll be learning some other cooking charms and camping tips that will give us a great deal more variety. Among other things, of course, because there's a great deal more to a good camping trip than spending time in camp.

Oh, I'm very glad to know that you've all got there safely and that you are having a good time already.

Best luck for the trip!

Coordinating that many arrivals certainly did have me pulling out my hair for a while. (And you should be glad you missed my pacing about trying to figure out tents and schedules and all of that, really.)

And of course, it took hours to get everything up and running last night, especially since half of them wanted to chat to the other half more than to find their tent poles. (Fortunately, I'd planned that into the schedule: there's a reason we didn't have much planned last night.)

Everyone seems to be having a decent time practicing the cooking and cleaning charms, right now, though. And this afternoon should be quite fun.
