About 2 days ago we went to Champoeg (sh-am-poo-y) State Park to camp. There are many things to do there like hikes along the shores of water, outdoor movies, riding bikes around the campsite loops, and much more. When we arrived Mishka’s family had already arrived they were almost done building there tent! After us came Nirmay’s family. Then Aarit’s family came, and last but not least Roushil’s family. My friends are Roushil, Aarit, Nirmay and Hashvi – who are siblings – Mishka and Krishvi – also siblings – and of course my own little sister, Navya because we are the Shah Family.
We went biking and scootering a lot, My dad couldn’t fit my bike in our 2009 Toyota Camry LE trunk so we couldn’t take it. I definitely say ‘thank you’ to Nirmay becase he let me borrow his bike. And also a big thank you to Roushil and Aarit because I borrowed there scooters. There was a bike parade where you take your bike around the camp. We were camped in A loop, there are 2 loops A and B. Our campsite was towards the exit of A loop at A35 and A37 there are a total of about up to campsite A45. We combined 2 campsites because there are so many people. We did a lot of fun activities like we went on hikes and we went to the camp public wooden play structure. We rode bikes around A loop and met a few friends.
At night we stayed up till 12:00a and played games that one of the uncles set up. There were 3 teams, one team led by my dad, one team led by Nirmay’s dad, and one led by Roushil’s dad. We had lots of contests and, in the end, Roushil’s dad’s team won. We even got to sit in Nirmay’s dad’s Honda Odyssey with our legs sticking out of the trunk with the trunk door open! (NEVER TRY AT HOME, ONLY AT CAMPING).
Now we have to thank Mishka’s dad, becase he was the reason this camping trip worked out. He bought most of the stuff, came first to make sure everything was prepared, brought the lights, the canopy, the foldable table, the stove, the First Aid kit, the bins, the water balloons, his list is endless.
All of the moms (my aunties) made all of the yummy food we ate for lunch and dinner so I also thank them.
At the end when we signed out of our campsite we went to Butteville General Store which is the longest operating store in all of Oregon.
I opened as a General Store in the mid 1800s when the settlers came to Oregon. Now they sell ice cream. There ice cream had a lot of different good flavors. They also sell brownies, chocolate chip cookies, mochas, Sundays, Milkshakes and a lot more side stuff, but main and most popular is ice cream. I definitely recommend to go there and try there ice cream if you go any area near Butteville city.
One time when I was riding Nirmay’s bike I fell off the bike which occurred because I was leaning too much when turning. My whole left knee started bleeding and some lady saw me and she took me back to our campsite.
There my dad put Neosporin on my knee and put a gauze pad on my knee and taped with medicine raping tape. Then the day after I got hurt we left the campsite.
