The Rattan’s Arrival

By Camilla Garrison

July 5th, the Rattans arrive to the island at about 8:00 on the 7:something boat along with only five other cars, which is extremely surprising, given it was the last boat on the Friday after fourth of July. The CSC household suspects people were scared from last year’s fiasco and went into hiding. Well they came bearing gifts: lots of food, but it turns out eight people including four growing children do eat like a small elephant. So far, there has been a beach walk, a pie in the face game, a rock collecting beach trip, and a few games of hide-and-seek.
