It was an idea that we weren't sure could be executed - in theory it sounded wonderful and Rob's Pa is still an adventurer - but this is freezing cold conditions in the middle of the forest with no facilities sleeping 15cms off the ground. There was concerns for the warmth and comfort of our youngest and oldest campers but both ends of the spectrum breezed through and loved every minute of it.
It really was a once in a lifetime camping trip and I am thrilled that Noah got to experience it.
(Almost) the whole group gathered around the fire
Youngest and oldest campers enjoying special cuddles
Noah, Pa and Beth
Many many cups of billy tea and coffee were enjoyed around the campfire
Time for fun
Time for relaxation
Plenty of time for oohing and ahhing at babies
Having a paddle
Campfire Cake just for fun
(idea stolen from Frog, Goose and Bear blog)
Camping food is simple but sooo yummy
The hammock is the place for lots of fun (not much relaxation)
I couldn't resist some little goodie bags to celebrate this extra special camping trip
Never underestimate the joy of the post-camping bath!!
Kirsty - I LOVE the cake and the bags!!! So glad that you did it! That camping trip looks so much fun, it makes me want to go now. I certainly know what you mean about the post camp bath - the best feeling in the world!!
ReplyDeleteEmma Thanks for always been so kind and generous with your advice. I actually tried to put a different pic on my bags but it wouldn't format correctly so I had to completely copy yours. Blogland is great like that though everyone is so happy to share.
