10 year old camping trip!

On May, 19'th Me and Dad went on a 10 year old camping trip.  He did it for Gavin when he was 10.  He'll do it for Chloe when she turns 10.  Anyway, the important part is that we went camping, just me and Dad.  So we drove for an hour and a half to a place called William O'brian State Park.  It was beautiful!  Huge trees every where, lots of leaves still covering the ground for the past Winter, it wasn't to busy either   so more space for me and Dad! :)  The only un-beautiful part about it was that there were caterpillars everywhere!  Take a billion caterpillars and multiply it by infinity.  Then once you do that your still nowhere close to the number of caterpillars that were there.  About a billion caterpillars off.  Also they have some silk that they drop off of trees from.  So we got there and set up the tent.  Then we ate some lunch.  Sandwiches and chips.  Then we went hiking.  We found a rock that hung over the edge of the St. Croix river.  We found some sticks and started whittling there.  About 20 minutes later we hiked on this huge trail!  While Dad was looking at a sign I was being observant and saw an oriole.  They are amazing birds!  They are small, black and orange.  After that about 45 minutes later we finally got back to our campsite.  while throwing the Frisbee me and Dad noticed some caterpillars falling down the trees with their silk.  We got the frisbee and tried to cut off the caterpillars from their lines.  After watching them fall down after the frisbee cut their lines we got a hot dog and ate it for a snack.  Then we went back to that one rock and whittled there some more.  Then we went back to camp and threw the base ball.  After almost hitting the car with the b-ball we got out the frisbee and threw that some more.  Once I threw it close to the ground, Dad ran to catch it but accidentally stept on it and broke of part of the side.  After that little incident catching the frisbee was like catching a circular saw.  Dad motioned for me to come over to the fire pit with him.  Then Dad gave me a necklace!  Gavin got one too for his 10 year old camping trip.   It's all brown except for three blue beads.  One of them stands for integrity, another love and another, servent hood.  I really wanted to have those characteristics so I'v been trying really hard to.  Then guess what!?  We went to that rock again.  After 5 minutes of whittling Dad said, "  I think we should go back now."  I said, " No, we can stay here a few more minutes."  As soon as I said that we felt some rain drops.  They got heavier and faster and we had to go back to are campsite.  "Told You!"  Dad said.  AS soon as we got there we quickly wolfed down some hot dogs.  By time we got in the tent are clothes turned a darker shade.  We hadn't set up our sleeping bags yet and we were just about to when I was like, "Dad, how come I feel raindrops even in the tent?"  It turns out that our tent wasn't really water proof so we had to gather every thing and sprint into to the car.  We had the rest of our dinner in the car.  Dad said, "Good thing we hadn't set up our bags yet!"  "Yeah, tell me about it!"  So we had lots of fun in the car.  We played nertz, made shadow puppets, cuddled, read, listened to a book on tape, told ghost stories and got really tired!  Finally around 11:00 we decided it was time to go to Bed.  A caterpillar had snuck it's way in the car while we were almost falling asleep and gave me the heebie-jeebbies!  I'm surprised that I didn't have nightmares about caterpillars.
