Camp rock!

Well, okay, just camp. Not so much of the rock. But Scout Camp was awesome! I know, I know. Lynz and camping? In a tent? But it really was fabulous fun and my pack were so well behaved - we were so proud.

I can't show many photos because they all have other people's kids in (bummer) but I have a few of Chook so they will have to do.

First up, the camp entrance. This is looking OUT of camp into the surrounding countryside. Pretty, eh?

Me an' the Chook! Slightly strained looking - an eight year old was in charge of the camera and she was taking an absolute age to hit the shutter! I match my tent. Heh.

Part of the afternoon's planned activities on Saturday was a nature walk which took us past the reservoir. We were so lucky, the weather defied the forecasters and stayed very fine!

My girl, first over a six foot stile! One of the boys has vertigo and had to go back round the whole way we'd come, bless 'im.

And Chook making a quick, sneaky phone call to her Dad on Sunday morning. I'm standing by the first of our tents. I was thrilled by this point that despite dire warnings, none of us had any ticks latched on. *shudders*

So, there you go. Mention has been made of camping as a family in the summer so we shall see. We need a tent first! *g* Plus, Scouts plan another in August. I've not seen the last of my bad-hair-day-no-drying-facilities headband/bandana combo!
