The Millipede House

We have decided to share some of the wonderful stories that our guests send us, telling about their experiences at Ash Grove.  Here is the first one:

Hi Mark and Steven,

We can’t thank you enough for being such wonderful hosts at your beautiful campground.  We had a lovely family camp trip and appreciate you making your campground feel like a bed and breakfast. We especially loved the evening piper in the campsite.

Our daughter Ava (6 years old) met a sweet friend and wanted to share this story with you about her experience.  Ava and Hannah spent a great deal of time creating a ‘house’. They stayed busy at work with rocks, sticks and bugs.

“I met a new friend Hannah at the campground. She was walking to the bathrooms and found a millipede.  I came to see it.  She had it in a small home. Hannah went to eat breakfast and I watched the millipede and built a ceiling with sticks.  Other kids came over.  One brought a grasshopper and he jumped away. Hannah finished breakfast.  We had the idea to build a bigger home. We took the rocks down and made it bigger.  We built an apartment with 4 rooms. One for the millipede, and the rest for the ants.  The middle was a backyard.  Mark took pictures of the house.”

Thank you again guys.  We hope to be back next summer for more exploring!

Frank, Tracey, Emerson and Ava
