My mother is taking over the writing on this one, my comments will appear in bold italics.
The holiday has been the best one ever celebrated by the crab campers in FUNLAND. For those of you new to the concept of FUNLAND, it involves the selection of those worthy, but unable to afford time in FUNLAND. The crabs are selected based on important criteria, ie is their shell big enough to hold wiggle eyes...
...and would they look good in the colors of nail polish available at the camp beautification center.
When the selection process is complete the campers are given the wonderful opportunity of learning camp songs, dining at the food court provided and swimming in the pool which comes with a flamingo.
I should describe the camp itself. Besides the swimming pool and food court, the campers have a recreation room (actually a rock) that boasts a TV and a fireplace. Upon arrival campers are given sunscreen, a pool towel, flip flops and a water bottle.
At the end of their time at camp well wishers gather to say goodbye to the lucky campers who must return home. It is truly a magical experience that I wish you could be part of my dear friends.
This year the campers will be sent home on Christmas evening to the delight of the children visiting here from various countries. And for the first time the crabs will have miniature lights attached to them so that we can track their return to their families whom they will delight with numerous fun camp experiences.
They run in such a rush that sometimes carpooling occurs. These crabs are not glued to each other... We arent savages, we just put them in camps.
This is the crab known as "pretty shell". You may remember my mother painting her on video.
What a wonderful year for this group of crabs.....I forgot to mention that we had a repeat camper this season, he still had his green painted shell from July. It was nice to see him again.
That is all the Christmas news from Crabnation
