My First Dinner on The island

Yesterday we decided to have our dinner on the island that is in the middle of our lake. So, we brought hamburgers, sausages and potatoes to be grilled in a fire camp that we would try to do there. For the vegetarians we made a couple of sandwiches with cheese and also fruit tea.
When we left the school it was already half past six. Everyone went in groups of two to the island, except me, Raquel and Patrick. In fact, we decided to take the risk and go in the same canoe. Well, we thought that the worst it could happen would be to go back swimming.
We arrived to the island as dry as we where before. No, I am lying. Raquel was a little bit wet because she was seated in the middle of the canoe, but that is only a detail.
When everyone was there, we started making the fire camp. In the beginning we had some difficulties, but Andrzej saved us from starving! So, it was time to relax, just eating, chatting and enjoying the nature. In the end of the night, Mantas and Peter played chess and by the time they finished it was already very dark. Some of us decided to go back to the school. Me, Raquel, Patrick, Peter and Andrzej stayed on the island a little bit longer.
After a while, we packed our stuff and started our trip back home. The lake was beautiful at that time reflecting all the surroundings. It really seemed that we were going to touch the sky…
For me, it was really a wonderful night. First, we had to prepare everything we ate and , I don`t know why, it seemed that the food tasted better. But the most important of all was that we got more close to each other, just because we were all seated around the fire camp and that created a great atmosphere amongst everyone.
