Camping Camping Camping!!!!

It has been SOOOO long since we had been camping properly... like tent up camping... (remembering back 2 years ago to a special trip to Nambucca Heads!!)


Stu and I were so excited to be getting out and about again and taking Aaron & Andrew (my little bro's) for their first camping adventure.. It was apparently the bestest weekend EVER!!!



We headed out to Boolumba Creek on Saturday morning to find that someone wanted out camp site.. they'd booked another one.. but didn't like it.. We asked them to move on and then did some exploring. We took one of the easy walking tracks (Pfft!!! SO NOT EASY!) which took us up up up and then down down down... On the third part of down we came across some slithering creatures... the boys were not impressed... Aaron was even less impressed when Stu had carried him out of danger to another area... and there was another slithering creature...


You should have heard it.. You've taken me out of harms way and put me straight back into it... Andrew you led us here and now we're lost, we aren't going to be leaving here until I've turned 50...


Because we couldn't walk past the snakes we had to go back.. so it was up up up and down down down again with two scared little boys not leaving our sides!!


We got back to our site and the squatters were gone so we set up tent and got the fire going. The boys helped me prepare the veges for dinner and then went down to the water to play...

We enjoyed out Sausages and Steak and Vege's for dinner.. and our Marshmellows in the fire afterward!

We slept well (apart from the rude wake up from the Possum trying to steal our rubbish) and it wasn't too cold. Bacon sandwiches for Breakfast and we were on our way (After some Dam building in the lake!!)

We did want to get the boys haircuts before taking them back to mums... but... we weren't willing to pay $25 a piece for them!

Mum had a wonderful relaxing Mothers Day weekend without the boys there and then had all of us there on Sunday Afternoon for a visit (which I think is a first!!)

Can't wait to head out again! Anyone want to come? More photos here!
