Every year during the Summer fest in town – they have this Mackerel throw – and every year the summer camp will bring us to the waterfront to watch it. Last year – I was so sick – watching it and smelling the bad mackerel that I wanna throw up – but this year I did good. No throwing up – so mama didn’t have to bring me back to the store – i stayed till the end of the Mackerel throw.
The mackerel throw is about these people dressing up like Fishermen and they start throwing mackerel at each other and then the other tries to catch it – the team that catches the most wins. But you have to get dress into the fishermen costume and rain coat before you can climbed into the bucket and start throwing and catching.
My camp leaders also took part in the mackerel throw and they did win something – they had very good coordination – mama said. It was a hot and humid day – after the mackerel throw – we all went to Toots and mama bought everyone a freezie as a treat ! hurray for mama!
