Gathering at the Station

 
 
 

All the parents were nervous, the camp leaders ready for five days spent with twelve wee-ones (six boys and six girls). I braided Bella's hair, so she wouldn't have to worry about NOT brushing it, and one of the requirements was NOT TO BRING SOAP since the only washing facility they had was in a creek. Of course we forgot to pack her towel as well, just to make sure she wouldn't be tempted to wash. She and all the kids had an excellent time, from night time walks in the forest to camp-fires, cooking their own food, doing the dishes, going shopping in the village and even offering their work services to people in return for food (perfectly safe in Hungary, not to worry). They had to rake the leaves, watch the chicks hatch on a farm, or mind a baby for a while etc.
