And can I say that the last week has been absolutely FANTASTIC...... I don't know why we haven't gone on Big Camp before. For those that don't know Big Camp is organised by our church and it is 9 days of fun, seminars, catching up with friends and being spiritually refreshed. I think I did all of these. Kirsty and Makayla were non stop the whole time. Kirsty is still talking about next year and "I wonder what they are going to do next year". While Makayla keeps saying "I go camping mummy".
I would really like to thank my friends (Nicole, Haydn, Rose to name a few) and family (Lyn and Roger) for all their support while we were away. Prior to going away I got the flu and as I was laying down for most of 8 days I ended up with an inflamed disc in my lower back. Hence I could barely walk when I got to camp. Lyn and Roger helped me set up the tent and sort out all of our gear. In the midst of doing this my 2 year old Makalya decided to go for a little look around in the DARK and got herself momentarily lost. Needless to say I was a mess. But I found her or should I say I heard her screaming about 200 metres from the tent. For the remainder of the night I kept standing on her she was that close to me. And I didn't mind one bit that she was there. And that night while we slept she bear hugged me all night. I couldn't move without her laying her arms over me or trying to ly on me all night.
Here are a few photos of our set up at Big Camp. Next year I think I'm going to take a GAS fridge, freezer, oven and anything else I can think of. We did alright considering Cameron wasn't able to be with us. Though he did come down the last weekend so he could help me pack up. Don't know what I would do with out him.
WE CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR.........
