I received a phone call this morning, from a lady who said that she found a cheque from the campground at the university. A few of my co-workers go to said university, so it is totally plausible that someone could find a cheque from here with an employee’s name on it.

She said it was in really bad shape, but she wanted to return it to the owner. So I asked her whose name was on it, and she said Jeff’s. Luckily, Jeff still goes to the university, and he must have just dropped it and not realized. The lady gave me her e-mail address to give to Jeff so that she could return the cheque to him.

I told her he still goes to Brock and that he should be in today, so I can give him the message. She said thanks and that she was glad she would be able to return it.

WHAT A NICE LADY.

Most people wouldn’t have even picked it up, let alone tried to return it.

I know Jeff could get another one and they could put a stop payment on the first one, but that’s not really the point here. The point is that there are still some honest people left who will do the right thing.

Afoot is an awesome word. People don’t use it enough these days.

So I challenge you, use afoot once a day until it catches on and works it way back into mainstream society and common language.

And by ‘afoot’ I clearly mean the definition which means ‘in progess’ as in, ‘There’s a foul plot afoot!’ (It’s not my feet, I just washed them!) Bonus points if you know the movie.

That’s all I had to say. Still a bit worn out from writing the previous post. It wasn’t so much the writing as the inserting the photos and making them center align. I like how I used photos as if they were of real people when they are most evidently not.

This is why I should sleep more.

This may be extremely long and filled with far too many photos and videos. So if you don’t want to browse through it all, I understand. The short version is we had a great time on Sunday at the African Lion Safari.

As for the long version… here we go!
So, Sunday. Kat and I decided that she’d pick me up at 10:00am and we’d go somewhere for breakfast and then head off to the African Lion Safari. Our first idea for breakfast was Cafe Gratzi, but when we got there it was ridiculously busy. We were there for about five minutes and no one spoke to us, so we decided to try Perkins instead. Sadly, no luck there either as the line was nearly out the door.

We ended up going throguh the drive-thru at Timmies, and hitting the highway. Despite the fact is was pouring rain, it was relatively easy to get to. As long as you remember that you are pretty much in the middle of no where. We got to the Safari, got our tickets and headed in.

We wanted to get these ponchos that everyone seemed to had — especially after our winning poncho experience in New York City. They were cute though, they had little animals all over them but we couldn’t find where they were selling them so we kind of gave up on that notion. We also decided to take Kat’s car through instead of taking the tour bus. That way we could go at our own speed and stop when we wanted to. Going into the park made me feel like I was going into Jurassic Park or something. For some reason, I remember them having this part in the movie that looked exactly like these gates. So you drive in one, then they shut the gate behind you and open the one in front of you so that you can go and none of the animals can escape. First up was the Narobi Sanctuary which held a few different species of birds, llamas and cattle.

We were surprised that so many of the animals were out in the rain, but I guess fort he birds it doesn’t make a huge amount of difference. I know you’re not supposed to roll down your windows, but we did briefly to snap a photo of the ducks which were ridiculously loud! The llamas were really cute, but as you can see they looked drenched! There was a little shelter for them, so I don’t know why they didn’t use it. I guess they don’t really mind the rain. You gotta love the cattle all huddled together in the shelter though!

Next through the reserve was the Cheetah Breeding Compound, which I kept reading as the ‘Cheetah Breeding Campground’. You know you’ve worked at a campground too long when. . . That part didn’t last long and there were only two cheetahs that we could see. So we kept en route and landed in SIMBA COUNTRY. They had the same signs over and over and over, because as I can imagine, people are probably ridiculous and stupid. I mean really, who in their right mind would want to try to feed a lion? O_O If they attempt it, they have whatever is coming to them. That’s what I think.

The lions were definitely awesome, but they only had one male and the others were females (at least, we only saw one male). They were just lounging on their rocks, looking somewhat unimpressed at the weather. The jeep you’ll see in the first photo is the safari jeep and they’re stationed in pretty much every area. I guess it’s to make sure people aren’t idiotic and do something to harm the animals because realistically, that’s far more plausible than the animal randomly doing something to hurt the people without any prompting. But yes, the lions were super awesome.

Even though the cheetah breeding compound was back a little bit, the hang out for the cheetahs was just after the lions. There were three of them and they couldn’t have been any cuter. Kat shot a video of them because at one point, they all started cleaning the one guy.

Following the cheetahs was one of the places we were most looking forward to — the monkeys. Okay in actual fact they’re baboons but that doesn’t change their extreme awesomeness. You always hear about them climbing on people’s cars, and when we were driving up there we saw five all on one vehicle! So we got up there and parked because they’re really interesting to watch. Then we had a few visitors on the car as well. One licked the hood and windshield. In the video I jokingly say he’s cleaning it, but he’s obviously drinking the water. There was another who pulled the windsheild wiper from the back out… you know, like you would if you were going to clean the blade. We were a bit nervous they’d break something, but as they said at the front gates, that’s the risk you take driving your own car in. A couple of them ended up on the top and we could hear them walking around on the roof. Then our buddy (the one who licked the car, and who was sitting there for quite some time) had a friend join him. Kat turned on the windshield wipers just to clear the rain off and the poor baboon jumped like a mile high! Okay, so it was kind of mean but it was pretty hysterical. We took a couple of videos so I put them altogether into one.

There was also an incident of stupidity while we were at the baboons. There were these ladies in like an SUV kind of vechicle, and at first they were behind us. Apparently, we were too slow so they tried to pass us (which is fine) but I think she tried to on the wrong side and somehow she got kind of stuck somewhere and was having a hard time getting out. Eventually they made it and were pretty much right beside us, and the one lady rolls down the window to take a photo. Then a baboon looks at her and she SCREAMS. Like, screams bloody murder! We both turned and glared at her because it was just stupid. I mean it’s not like they were on their car or coming to attack them. The baboon that was sitting on our car just kind of looked over, as if to say, ‘wtf are you doing lady’ and looked back, haha.

After the amazing baboons we continued on to find an ostrich or two, rhinos, zebras, eland, sheep and giraffes. The ostriches were pretty far off in the distance and we were half worried they’d come poke the car, haha. But they didn’t… there was one that was pecking at the safari jeep though.

I don’t know much about the sheep, they’re Barbary Sheep and I had to look it up online to make sure I had the right animal… so yes, haha. Honestly, we didn’t pay too much attention to them. I think it’s hard to be really excited when you don’t know anything about the animal at all. Like I wouldn’t have been able to tell you it’s name.

Rhinos are huge. And I honestly had absolutely no idea that they were really that big. Seeing them next to the cars really showed the size. I mean, I guess I always knew they were big in a sense… but I never knew they were that HUGE! Of course there was one of them who was being a party pooper and staying out of the rain, but I can’t really blame him. If I was a rhino, I’d be that one. Haha. Kat felt inclined to take a picture of the rhino’s bum.

After the rhinos we were extremely excited to be moving on to the giraffes! Unfortunately we couldn’t tell if these were evil giraffes, because there were no trees around for them to eat all the leaves off of (SO OTHER GIRAFFES MAY DIE) but they’re pretty awesome animals. I apparently saw a giraffe when I was a kid, but I have no recollection of that whatsoever. So this is the first time (that I remember) seeing them in real life. I absolutely love the way they chew. The shelter (as you can see) was too short for them, so only their backs were shielded from the rain. They didn’t seem to mind too much though… granted, they didn’t have much choice. Right beside the giraffes were the Elands. I never knew what these guys were either, before I looked them up.

There were a lot of zebras! Which surprised me somewhat because I’ve never seen so many at once, haha. I love the patterns on them and they can apparently tell each other apart due to the different patterns in their stripes. I heard before that their stripes are like fingerprints — no two are the same.

So as you can see, animals like yaks (which is the coolest name ever because it’s really fun to say and sounds ridiculous… yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak, do it like that), Japanese deer and then a bunch of other ones that I didn’t know. I also didn’t know the difference between Japanese and North American deer because frankly I never thought about it before. I love the picture of the black animals that are standing in the rain… I won’t lie, I have no idea what they are, haha. The ones that are behind a fence were an endangered species and they someone crammed themselves into the rocks there to avoid the rain. You can’t see it well in the photos, but the males have amazingly cool antlers. They’re kind of twisty.

Reserve number seven was the last of the reserve and held animals from North America (and I guess one from Europe). For the most part, it wasn’t really like OOH AHH for these ones because they were animals that are pretty common. Like bison and deer. I’m not saying it wasn’t nice to see them, because honestly how often do you get a chance to get that close to them? The deer were hilarious though. There’s this one male, who was practically blocking all traffic from getting through. But these stupid people kept inching closer and closer to him. I wished he’d kick them or something, but he didn’t. :/ Instead the tour bus came around and beeped so he moved off the path, but he was so cute!! And stubborn, haha. Two of the deer started to fight, which was neat to see. I’ve always seen videos of it, but obviously it’s not the same in real life. I also never knew that the sound they make is so much like a goose. O_O It really shocked me (as you can tell from the video). The bison looked DRENCHED and we figured they’d smell like a wet dog, but ten times worse. I wonder if that’s true… but it would make sense.

And that was the end of the reserves. My favourite one I think was with the baboons, and seeing the giraffes and the zebras. So from there we parked and took a look around the gift shops. Some of the stuffed animals were ridiculously adorable and I kind of wanted to buy one, haha.

They have shows there, with the animals so we wanted to catch at least one or two of those. We decided in the long run to go to the petting zoo area (which only had a few animals anyways) and then at 2:00 head over to the parrot show.

In the petting zoo, there were deer, goats a camel and two alpacas. Camels make possibly the weirdest sound I’ve ever hear come out of an animal and I was totally not expecting it. This camel was really loud and kept screaming (or whatever it is he’s doing). He kind of intimidated me, haha.

Then we got to the goats. When you’re a kid it’s always amazingly fun to pet the goats and honestly, I had probably too much fun this time around too. They’re cuter than I always think of them, haha. We didn’t feed them, but for a while we were the only ones in their pen. There was this one goat that stood on top of a tree stump and didn’t budge from there. It was like he was surveying his pen, haha. He reminded me of Watson, because Watson likes to sit on the chair in my mum’s room and people watch out the window. Once we were there for a little bit the goats got used to us, and then kept coming up and trying to bit our shirt, pants, scarf… whatever they could. At one point I was petting tree stump goat and another little guy was standing right on my foot.

I LOVE the one who had his head in the log! I didn’t see him pull his head out, but Kat said that when he did he started sneezing, haha. I think he was also the one who was standing on my foot. A couple of them jumped up as well, you know like dogs do? On their back legs… and another one rubbing his face on Kat’s leg, haha. They were pretty cute. I wouldn’t mind a pet goat.

Right near the goats were the deer and I finally understood the difference between the North American and Japanese species! They were only two Japanese deer and they were darker in colour. We got the little pellets to feet the deer and the Japanese deer kept getting butted out by the other ones who were far more aggressive.

Just before the parrot show started we took a look around at the birds that was in the cages. Oh my god they were noisy. Aki and Hiro can be noisy, but I think I’d go insane if I lived around those birds all the time! The parrot show was really cute and they had one bird who could kind of sing O! Canada, haha. We also learned that peacocks are one of the least intelligent birds. They had a ‘trained’ peacock there and she said they say that lightly because all they can train him to do is run out there, stand on a green board and eat some bird seed, haha. They had another bird who could pick up cans and put them in the recycling, which was pretty cute. Oh and a bird THAT COULD RIDE A BICYCLE. No joke. Watch the video. There were flamingos there as well and it’s the first time I’ve ever really heard the sound they make. At one point it seemed like they were singing together like a choir. Along with the parrots there was a bat. Her name was Abbey.

We also went to the birds of prey demonstration, which was good as well. The funniest part is that they had a bird named Muriel, which is my mum’s name. Well, she was one unattractive bird and looked like she had this tuft of hair… kind of witch like. There was also a Bald Eagle which overshot his landing, and he landed outside of the fenced in area. Luckily they got him back in time and no kids managed to get to him… because he really could tear you apart.

The guy who was doing the show was great, but kept stumbling on his words. Then he asked for a few young volunteers to help him with the next part of the show to demonstrate how this one bird was just as comfortable running on the ground as he was flying. They were going to have a race. Well a bunch of kids came up to the gate and he counted about five and said okay, you guys can all come in… which lead to A MASSIVE STAMPEDE OF CHILDREN. At least twenty kids went inside the gate, because I guess they misunderstood and parents kept sending their kids up when he was CLEARLY having a hard time. He explained that he made a mistake with word choice, but he felt bad and couldn’t really say no to the kids.

But the poor bird was totally crowded during the race! I think under normal circumstances he would have given the participants a run for their money in the race, but because there were so many kids there he came somewhere in the middle. A lot of the kids weren’t really listening as well, so I felt bad for the guy who was doing the MC. But overall it was a great show and very educational. We learned that the Bald part in Bald Eagle used to mean ‘White’… as the Bald Eagle isn’t actually bald.

Right after the birds of prey show was the elephant show called the “Elephant Round-up”. But before I talk about that, I’m just going to finish with the birds. There were a lot of peacocks wandering around and we managed to find a female peacock with a baby, as well as one that was completely white. Why are the male peacocks so much more beautiful!? I know it’s to impress the females, but why can’t human men be like that? Haha. No, I’m totally joking but don’t you ever notice in the animal world the male of the species is so much cooler looking? Like the male lions have those awesome manes, bettas, the females are just ugly. They’re all brown and boring. Anyways, we also saw some hawks and a Snowy Owl. The owls were really beautiful, and the one in the photo looks like it’s making a ^^ face, as Kat pointed out, haha.

There were more flamingos in their own little section and they had young ones! I never knew that baby flamingos didn’t get their true pink colour until after they were a year old. Personally, I think they look almost cooler all black, pink and white… seeing as those are three of my favourite colours.

Last but not least for the animals, were the elephants! Like I mentioned before, we saw the elephant show which consisted of four of them. I can only remember the names of three - Daisy (she was the oldest, 30 something), Piccolo and George (who was the youngest, he was 8). They did a few tricks like showing off how strong they are, and how they can use their trunks to pick up even a small coin (they did a demonstration on a loonie). When they came out originally they were all holding the tail of the elephant in front of them which was super cute.

There was a little girl sitting next to Kat who was super excited about all the elephants and kept yelling out ther names, haha. It was refreshing to see that. After the show the trainer lead Daisy around so the kids could ask questions and pet her if they wanted to. I think that’s a cool idea.

After the show we headed to the Elephant Lookout where we saw baby Chuck and his parents. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a real baby elephant and they are one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen in my life. He was honestly just like a little child and you just wanted to hug him or something. Chuck had a hard time eating his hay unlike his parents and frequently got side tracked by a stump or rock, haha. He was way too cute. The video I took is of a little part of the elephant show (where the one elephant played the drums and the others danced) and then the rest is of Chuck and his parents.

Just as a really random side note, if you listen to the voices of the people talking in the background of the video they have a really distinct Eastern Canadian accent. Like from out east as in Nova Scotia, P.E.I or in that direction. I could tell as soon as I heard them talking and then when my mum saw the video she commented on it too. I think that accent is one of the most easy for me to recognize, haha.

By then we were pretty tired and had seen what there was to see, so we headed home. We have no idea how we ended up in Burlington without taking the highway, but we did and went to this pub to have dinner. We ended up back at my house and watched Test the Nation for a little while, had some tea and Kat went home. It was a really fun day and I’m so glad we got to go!! I’ve wanted to go to the African Lion Safari since I was a kid and I would definitely go again.

For the most part, the animals look like they’re happy to be there. A lot of them were born in captivity anyways, so they don’t know anything different. But there weren’t any animals I looked at and felt bad for, except for the elephant that was doing the elephant rides. They were $5 a ride and we considered going, but decided not to. He looked so sad, and just walked around the same circle over and over and over. Wouldn’t that make you go insane?

But yes, like I said it was a lot of fun and yes, we took a disgusting amount of photos. The sad part is these aren’t even all the photos we took. O_O

I think I’ve covered mostly everything that happened… and it’s definitely time to wrap this up! If you made it to the end, congratulations and thank you. <3

P.S. Melinda, the animals wanted us to tell you they’re very happy there. AND NO THEY’RE NOT BEATEN IF THEY SAY OTHERWISE. ^^

Today Kat and I finally got a perfect summer day at the beach! We were hoping Melinda could come with us, but it didn’t work out. Hopefully we’ll have another nice weekend so we can all go together! It seems like the real summer weather is kicking in now. A bit delayed.

I didn’t have to work and Kat doesn’t work on weekends, so at about 10:00am this morning we met up at Silks, which is a diner that serves very decently priced and good tasting breakfast. We both had french toast and now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve had anything else there.

I got there a bit early, so I was waiting for Kat and I had to wait in line anyways for a table because it was super busy. There was this lady who came in after me, and she was nice to me because she said “Make sure you stay in front of me so they don’t serve me first!”. Which was really nice, because she wasn’t trying to butt-in or anything. But then when she was talking to the waitress, she was so rude! I was kind of shocked.

The waitress asked her how many people were dining, and the lady is like, well, we need two tables. So the waitress is like okay. . . but, how many people will there be? And the lady goes, well only two of us are here now, but we need two tables. The girl asked one more time saying that she just needed to know a number and the lady says, WE COME HERE EVERY WEEK. WE NEED TWO TABLES.

Dude, is it really hard to say something like, oh there will be six of us. There will be eight. There will be seven. I mean come on, don’t be difficult.

Anyways, we ate and headed off to the beach! Perfect weather for it, seriously. We were there for about three hours but started feeling a bit burnt and decided to call it a day. We went for a swim, but the water was pretty cold so unfortunately we didn’t last long. Kind of makes me wish I was like, seven years old again when you never seemed to feel the coldness of the water.

There were crazy parents behind us, but I don’t want to get into that. I’ve seen so much poor parenting in the past month that I feel like I could write a book on it. I know I’m not exactly in the position to say because I’ve never had a kid of my own, but at the same time some things are just common sense.

So, after that we were having a craving for chips which we went and got and then trekked back to Kat’s house to clean up and change. From there we headed to my house, got some money out and met up with Jenn at Montana’s to celebrate her birthday which was August 13th.

It’s been so long since the three of us have been able to hang out! So we had a nice dinner (ate waayy too much) and went to Starbucks to talk some more. I started to feel kind of light headed and we were all pretty tired so we weren’t out very late, and I took Kat back home.

But here’s the story. See, you know the other day when I talked about how I got the gas out of my old car and put it into the red one? Well, a bit of gas spilt onto the gas can and into the plastic bag that the gas can was in. The can was in my trunk for about two days and my car REEKED like gas. I think spending all that time in the car today made the fumes get to me. I kid you not. I left my back windows down tonight in hopes that it might air out a little and since I have to work at eight, it’s not like they’ll be down all day or something.

I also learned that I got burnt. On my back and on the back of my legs. It’s… extremely uncomfortable. I put sun screen on my legs, so I have no idea why they’re burnt but I did miss my back. :/ It’s my own fault so I shouldn’t really complain and at least my face isn’t burnt.

But yes, it was a great day. I got home, updated S-T a bit and everything seems to be going smoothly.

Except for the person who decided to cheat in the contest. We called them out the first time and denyed it. We showed them proof and they admitted to it. Then they went right back to cheating. I mean seriously, the way Hideko and I watch the stats on our baby, do you really think we wouldn’t notice?

Okay I normally don’t go all fangirly on my journal and post about my favourite artists, actors and what not.

But Mamo is just so full of awesome that it can’t go unnoticed. He posted this story in his journal the other day (which I think I’ll post on S-T) about this pair of strawberry patterened underwear that he found on his washing machine that obviously were not his (because he’s not a woman, nor does he wear women’s underwear… I hope).

I’m not going to post the full translation of it, because like I said, it’ll be either on S-T or my translation community at some point in the future.

But here’s the part that tells the story.

Just now I thought I’d do some laundry, and so I opened the window

And found that there was a pair of strawberry patterned women’s panties neatly left on the washing machine. ┐(’～`;)┌

Who’s is it?

And I don’t think they were blown there by the wind.

For a moment, time flew past.

I picked them up with one hand for confirmation.

They weren’t gross, but when I tossed them outside they got stuck in the basket of someone’s bike.

I bet the owner’s gonna be surprised (Laughs)

I had to thoroughly wash the all of the panty hand.

Don’t make fun of me about it .┐(’～`;)┌

If you remember the entry a few days ago, where I was ecstatic because someone who deserve to get theirs, was finally coming close to getting it?

Well, there’s so much shit on her I can’t believe it. And she’s so full of shit, that I can’t believe it.

The people who are trying to do something about it (and I’m so glad they are) have made this forum, which outlines just some of the crazy ass stuff that she’s done: the link is really long so click here to go there.

So here’s my question.

She seems to constantly complain about not having money. She needs money for surgery and money for food. Money for rent. Money for her dying father and sick sister.

If that’s the case, why are you dragging you fugly ass online every day (or at least often enough to make an impression on people) then? The internet costs money. Computers, cost money. Sell your computer, cancel your internet (or stop going to an internet cafe and wasting your money there) and get a real job to help yourself and your family.

She’s just a scammer, and therefore none of what she’s saying is true, so that’s not going to happen. And maybe this sounds mean, but I have no sympathy for people who try to mooch off of others when they could just as easily get off their ass and do something about it themselves.

I think that in general, I’m an understanding person and I try to be nice to people and give them the benefit of the doubt. I generally don’t actually wish harm on anyone because I don’t think that cool. Even though there are some people who have hurt me directly, I still don’t wish anything bad on them.

But this girl… she’s just ridiculous scum and I would love to see her rot in hell. I have no idea why I feel so strongly about it, but I do. So, if anyone knows anything let’s help the people who are putting this together out.

How can you hurt so many people and feel okay about it? I don’t understand people who think like that. It’s not okay to hurt people, to steal from them, to scam them… It’s not a hard concept to understand, so why are so many people unable to comprehend it?

The only reassuring thoughts that you can have about people like that, are that some day karma will catch up with them and beat their ass. Rightfully so.

I can’t believe people can be this pathetic and stoop this low. When we posted about it on S-T, I was actually surprised at the number of people who replied saying that they’ve been hurt by her. I’m glad that she can’t run and hide forever.

I forgot to add, that the people who are in charge of it e-mailed us to thank us for posting it on S-T! Which makes me really glad that we did. Spread the word～ε=ε=　(ノ￣▽￣)ノ

That’s pretty much all I have to say about that.

Okay, so she’s not ‘dead’ but finally, finally that stupid douchebag is getting hers. It’s about time that she did and I hope this time she doesn’t come back out of hiding again. I mean really, how lame and pathetic can you get?

If you don’t know who this is regarding, then don’t worry about it.

It’s unfortunately not about my neighbour, but it’s about someone just as bad. This girl lied, cheated and hurt a lot of people by being a scumbag. People are seriously working on getitng her exposed now, and I really hope their efforts pay off because it’s about time people figured out what a horrible person she is.

I’m usually not hard on people like this, because I try to think that people must have some sort of reason why they act the way they do, but what she has done is completely unacceptable and unforgivable. And there’s been so much more added on from what I knew (and I thought I knew a lot about the situation) which makes me think even worse of her.

Scammers suck. And they almost always get caught.

And seriously, you’re fugly. There’s no way in hell you can look like that and expect people to actually believe you’re a model. Have some common sense.

While my mum and I were in the SuperStore the other day, we were in the pet food aisle, which oddly enough was also the same as the laundry detergent and room freshener aisle. Doesn’t make sense to me, but maybe I have a weird way of organizing things…

Anyway, I decided that I wanted a room freshener. No real reason, it’s not that my room smells bad or anything, but it doesn’t really smell like anything and I wanted it to smell like something nice.

So after much deliberation I decided on the new Glade Wisp Flameless Candle.

Okay this might sound incredibly dorky, but it is really cool! I’m so glad I went with it! I got the starter pack which includes the ‘candle’ as well as one bottle of the scent. For the starter kits you can get French Vanilla or Clean Linen so I went with French Vanilla. It’s a battery operated… thing. That shoots out little puffs of fragrance every so often. You can set it to be big puffs or small puffs. Also, if you press the top down it activates the candle mode. Where it honestly looks like a flickering candle! That turns off after three hours, which is a great idea.

Here it is lit up as a candle in my room (I took it during the morning, so the sun is shining in from the corner of the blinds, but you get the idea).

At first I was skeptical about whether it would actually look like a candle or not, haha. So I must say I’m happily surprised. It smells nice and doesn’t look fugly. That’s important.

So I’m using ebuddy again [at work] and I changed my display photo which left a few of my friends inquiring as to what exactly the photo was.

I decided to post it here. Nice and large so everyone can share in the awesomeness that is the tent trailer costume.

Now I’m sure after seeing how amazing this costume is, you’re wondering where on earth we found it. Well, Melinda and I were looking at other campground’s websites and we came across a campground that had photos of their Halloween weekend. In there were photos of the costume contestants and this was one of them. I can’t remember if they won first prize or not, but HOW COULD YOU NOT!?

We showed it to Mr. A who fell in love with the idea thinking he would make them and sell them across the United States and Canada.

We wanted to make it for our Halloween, but decided against it because well, let’s face it. Being a tent trailer would make working behind the desk a little crowded.

BUT LOOK AT THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL! There’s grass, headlights, a license plate, even sleeping bags in the pop-outs. That is some true craftsmenship.
