We did it! Not without tantrums, but we did it & we had a ball!
Our camping trip was great fun, despite the pelting rain & the odd tantrum (which were few & all low scale...great sigh of relief). The kids have had the best time, days of freedom hanging out with their friends, boat rides, jumping pillows, baseball, scooters, toasted marshmallows, climbing trees, no showers...every little boys idea of heaven.
We thought we were pretty organised, packed to the hilt & convinced we had everything we needed...until we got there, set up and realised we were totally unprepared for bad weather! But, thanks to great company, lots of laughs & our fair share of relaxing, we'll definitely be doing it again - we've already started on 'the list' to make sure we do it right next time!
The holiday's are over but they've sure been great. Now we're home & schools back tomorrow, lunches, uniforms, readers...life rolls on...
It looks like you had a lovely time! Back into the day to day now :( I received a Sunshine Award from the lovely Katia at plushka's blog and was about to send it your way but realised that you already had one. Here's a special thank-you anyway for having such a delighful blog that always makes me smile:)

That's fantastic Mel. Great to hear you all had a ball and made it back in one piece. See you later in the week.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pity that holidays have to end! Back to the daily grind. Hope you have a happy week. xo
ReplyDeleteGreat! Looks like you had yourself a lovely adventure and can reinstate the camping tradition :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great week....Love that tree pic!
ReplyDeleteSounds ace! Even the rain is probably a good story to tell by now. I hope you can keep some of that holiday feeling way into the new school term. XX
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! They do look a happy bunch hanging out in a tree and being unshowered and marshmallow fuelled. I'm demanding we take a leaf out of yours next time.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a nice holiday. It is a nice time when the kids are that age. Thanks for popping over and commenting. I was feeling a bit isolated and yet exposed...putting my stuff out there. xxNick
