Camping holiday 2013

First time campers. We decided to take the plunge with the kids. Lucas was nearly 2 and Evie 3.5 years. We bought a 3 room tent and all that we thought we needed and headed to a Top10 campsite in Hot Water Beach for New Years. Becks and Craig were staying in a cabin plus friends of theirs Kelly and Jason. 

It was an amazing time. The kids got used to staying up a bit later, and we had some awesome family time creating new memories as well as spending time with good friends. 

Excited to make this an annual event.

Our car packed to the rafters. We had the gazebo and suitcases on the roof rack too. After this trip we will be better at knowing what we do and don't need.

Our set up

The boys

Lucas finally wears a hat

It's been a struggle to get a hat on Lucas. Every time I put one on he pulled it off. In Winter I overcame this with a chin strap that tied but could not get a summer one the same. Anyway finally at 1 year 11 months he finally decided he would like to wear a hat with a car on it.

Here is the proof (the first night he wanted to wear it to bed and had tears getting it off) 

Summer fun in the backyard

Summer has begun. One November Saturday we got the sprinkler out and the kids had some fun as you can see by the photos.

Gala Day Fun

We live in a rural area with lots of local schools having calf club and gala days. Both our kids love it. We go and have rides and Evie always lines up for face painting. It's a cheap day out and we get to support the local schools.

Here are some photos.
