C was elated to be on the Retreat. We arrived around 7:30 and I was worried that she would all get excited and come in the way of putting up the tent. But she didnt. The moment we arrived, C took off and started running around with the other kids. After we setup the tents, and were having dinner, C shrieked! She was afraid of the bugs that were around, and there were many. She would cry out loud even for a smallest one, even if it were 3 feet away. She would not stand on the floor neither sit on the benches! Shakila tried to trick C by washing C's feet off the bugs! When C was a baby, she would not be afraid of bugs, but would just stomp them!!
Luckily she didnt get afraid to go inside the tent. in fact she preferred it for the car. D was complaining all the time that we should have rented a comfy room rather than sleeping in the tent! Surprisingly C didnt make a big fuss when I took her to the potty, where there were a lot of bugs! (small kosu like creatures and some big ones, which didnt look dangerous or didnt look like they had 'stings'.
There was a huge thunder storm in the evening and we were really afraid that water would have leaked through, but later found out that everything was dry and clean! Just before going to sleep, C thought there was a bug in her shoes and wanted to wash it off with water inside the tent!
Here is an early morning picture!
