Chris' weekend Adventure

What do you do when the whole world is against you? Teachers, cadet leaders, parents, everyone keeps harping that you have to do your work, have to be responsible, have to be accountable. This is grade 12! It is supposed to be fun! If your name is Chris, you say I want freedom and here he has chosen to make his own life and choices. This is Chris' piece of "blue sky" freedom to do what he wants. Unfortunately, when he discovered the price of freedom after a few cold nights in the piece of paradise pictured here, he came pleading to be allowed back into our home. After much discussion with his regarding his responsibilities at school and his agreement to fully participate there(not just when it is convenient for him) we told him this will be his last chance to live with us. If he chooses to leave again, he can simply stay gone from our lives.

It was sad to note the huge mess he left behind in the woods. In his defence there was plenty of other garbage and junk scattered throughout what is obviously a local party area, but still I thought we had raised a more Eco-friendly child. At this point, Chris doesn't know that we have discovered his weekend lair but I am sure he will see it here someday.
