Hello everyone, sorry I havn't posted for a while. But, I have new topic that Thomas might also talk about. It is called Week Without Walls. This is when each grade in Senior school goes on a fun trip to different places around Uganda. My grade, Grade 6, went to Mpanga Forest.
One weird thing about Mpanga Forest is that there are signs everywhere saying "beware of safari ants" (Safari ants are like big fire ants). The thing about these signs are that they are true. Almost everywhere you go there will be a line of these safari ants. So we were forced to wear rubber boots.
Also, I found out a new species of monkeys, red-tailed monkeys (luckily they didn't throw a rock at me). These monkeys fight each other pretty much 24/7, they never stop. For example, you'll be eating dinner and there they are, fighting in the trees.
To finish off this trip really helped my teamwork because everything we did, we did in groups. Luckily my group was filled with mainly my friends. Although a few people didn't get so lucky.

Matt,
Does this trip (WWW) mean that your out in the forest / jungle for a week? Are you living in tents? Did you or anyone get bit by the ants?
Is it just your class that goes?Are the monkeys really fighting or is it like you guys @ home just horseing around? Did you take photos of the monkeys and ants?
Don't tell Grandma about these ants, we will never get her to go to Uganda. Looking from more updates from your brothers.

Mattster--
Nice post; keep 'em coming. G'pops has some great questions for you. When Grandma asks, just say that they meant aunts, safari aunts-- those lovely ladies who help you find your way through the forest and describe the flora and fauna.

Matt - sounds like fun...have you swung on any ropes lately? Might want to practice so you can help out the Campbell TEAM at Woodloch this year. Let's see more pictures! Mom and Dad showed them to us from your trip to Madagascar - great photos.
