School and a walk in the woods

I finished my first course earning my first 3 credits toward my master's degree. I am currently in the middle of my second course. After this summer, I will only have 54 credits to go!

Tuesday we went to Locust Shade Park which is a bit north of Stafford on route 1. If you haven't been there, it is very pretty. Lots of paths in the woods, a creek, a pond, cute ducks, etc. Anyway, of course Arianna had "to go". She picks the most inoportune times to do this. Of course, there is no port-a-potty in site and no bathroom. She's jumping up and down. Off to a semi remote place in the woods. At least she had a skirt on (fancy that-her favorite article of clothing). "Squat" I say, and "don't get it on your shoes". She manages to go on the leaves and steps over them saying "ewww, gross". Wiping with a leaf was gross too. We walk back to our group and she says, "Wow, that was my first pee in the woods!" Yeah well, don't get too excited about that achievement. My friend says now she will want to go in the woods every chance she gets. As we walk back, of course a few yards away around the bend is a port a potty!

That is just funny! I remember my first "pee in the woods" wiped with a leaf... It was the only time I have ever had a reaction to what I think was poison ivy.
