Night 34-37: Family Camp

Nights 34-37/25

Family Camp was not awesome.

It was so smoky Xochitl's nose swelled up and scared me. She had had an infection in her face too recently that made her nose swell up in such a way that it worried her primary care physician. When it scares Dr. Ananda, it scares me and I wasn't sure what this was, a new infection? Then I saw other people's faces were also swollen, I assumed from the smoke and I calmed down.

Xochitl wouldn't swim in the lake, it was murky and opaque from all the swimmers kicking up mud and it scared her. And so I couldn't swim in the lake. Also, there was a swimming beetle the size of my palm. I'm only glad Xo didn't see it.

There wasn't food Xo would eat. I couldn't sleep. Xo was cranky and just wanted to do crafts. She wouldn't shower. She was bratty about hanging out with her new friends.

We won't be going back to that family camp any time soon. Which is too bad, it's my camp. Now I'm not sure what to do.
