Canoe Trip Cancelled...

So, the canoe trip to Conestogo Lake was cancelled, due to lack of commitment from the cadets. We had 21 cadets sign up, and we ended up with only 6 cadets that were going on the trip, so, therefore, the officers running the trip decided to cancel it. So, the 6 cadets ended up staying for the cadet sports night. AND, my team won on Friday! Yay!
To add to the topic, the trip to Algonquin Provincial Park is still taking place in August. however, we still have to select the cadets that are eligible to go on this prestigious trip, as it is expensive, I'm sure! So, on the 24th and 26th of June, we are having Canoe Training Nights to prepare and evaluate the cadets to select the participants of the Algonquin trip. I will have to warn you other cadets that I am going to try my hardest to get accepted, so you will have some competition! Good luck to you all!
So, because the trip to Algonquin is still going on, I got my birthday present early this year! As you can see in the pictures, it is a backpack. But it's not just A backpack, it is a totally AWESOME and expensive backpack! You may be wondering, why did I get a backpack for my birthday? Well, the Algonquin trip is not just a canoe trip, it is a portaging trip as well, which means that we carry our entire kit with us for the entire time we are there, and we are constantly moving, so we need a method of transporting our stuff, of course. Soo... my parents decided to get me a totally AWESOME backpack! It has so many compartments, that I have a special spot just for my toilet paper! How cool is that?! And, I've been playing around with it for at least 2 hours now, and I am still finding new places to put things! And the best parts...it has it's own detatchable fanny pack, and it has a built in rain cover! I love it so much! Oh, and I forgot to mention, it has a special spot to put your sleeping bag in, too!!! Thanks so much, Dad and Terry!!!!!!
