We camped at Gunnedah (about 1400kms from home) while Bradley worked. It seems unfair that he spent the holiday working and we spent it having a lovely time! The weather was wonderful, as you can see from these photos. We played games, drew, stitched, shopped and read. It was cold at night, but we were prepared and didn't feel the cold.
We were fortunate to have lots of space around us so the kids could play hockey to their heart's content. We were also next door to a school so they could play tennis too. Our bocce set got a workout too.
We all took turns cooking and using our camp kitchen. (Well, not Mr 7. He helps out a little at home, but isn't up to cooking a meal on his own yet.)
We played board games and card games. Some games required great concentration and were taken very seriously.
We sketched and designed new stitcheries as well as creating pictures with stencils and Blo-pens. (The kids loved the fact that Gunnedah has a Toyworld!)
It was a very relaxing time. We got home last night and I have to say that 'there's no place like home'! (Dorothy is so right about that.) My bed is soooooo comfortable and I was just so glad to be home in it!
Mr 7 had a great time. He loves to be outside and loves running around like a mad thing. It turns out that he loves camping too, so we figured we will have to do this again soon. Next time we will have to camp somewhere closer to home! (Too much driving!)
I have passed my 200th post (going away kind of messed up my schedule) but am getting a give away together. I will post it tomorrow.

Yes, it's great to get away from it all! Away from technology and. . . . . . . . . oops! Sprung! Well, we did camp, but I don't do austerity camping. We camp with comfy beds, tables and chairs and the internet! We went camping with friends and this is Miss 23 visiting from Melbourne and sharing all of her new favourite Youtube videos with everyone. (Llama, llama, duck. . . . ) We had a great weekend!
