Last Year’s Trip

Posted by admin on Oct 1st, 2009 | no comments home title

Last year, our family went on a camping trip with some friends. At first, I did not want to go because I’m not really the “little miss outdoor girl” type. But mom promised me that she’ll buy me a new pair of shoes if I make sure that I will be an obedient child and join the trip. I wanted the shoes! So yes, you’ve guessed it right. I promised mom that I will be there and that I will behave. Hahah.

A week before the trip, mom, dad, my sisters and I went shopping for the things we need for the trip. Dad bought new hiking boots and I asked him, “What are those for?”. Dad said that we need those, too because there will be lots of walking to do and I was like “Oh My F God!”. I thought that a camping trip is all about sitting around a bonfire roasting hotdogs and marshmallows but I guess I am wrong. Anyway, Dad forced us to get our own pair of boots, too but I said that I’d get sneakers instead. My younger sister got a bike shoes and the youngest one grabbed a very cute light pink running shoes. Dad got annoyed and insisted that we should get hiking boots. We argued with him a bit but he gave up easily and let us have what we wanted. Haha. Daughters VS Father… Daughters win! Mom just laughed at us. She said Dad is acting more childish than his daughters are. Haha. He’s really like that sometimes.

The best thing I bought for the trip was the camp backpack. My younger sister and I got the same design but different colors. Her’s is dark blue, and mine is yellow. It was a super nice shade of yellow! :) The youngest picked… of course, pink! We also bought emergency equipments. Particularly, emergency kits. One kit for each of us. My Dad told mom that one kit is enough for all of us but you know how mothers are. Hahah!

ABOUT THE TRIP:
Dad was right. We walked and walked and walked. Ugh. My feet was almost swollen but yeah, it was fun. I was actually surprised because I enjoyed the trip. Of course my favorite part of the trip is the bonfire night. Dad and his friend, Tito Makoy, told ghost stories which are really scary although I know they just made those up because it was obvious with the way they said it. Haha. Grown up men can really be funny.

On the way home, Tita Sarah, Tito Makoy’s wife, said “Let’s do this again next year or on Christmas!”. All of them were surprised (actually “us) when I was the first one to say… “We should!”
