Our weekend AWAY

On the weekend we went away for the first time using our new camper. It’s not anything flash but it sure beats pitching a tent! We went to a place called Borumba Deer Park, just outside Imbil. We got there in the dark, but it all worked out.

The kids were so very excited. Solomon couldn’t settle himself to sleep so at 10:15pm I put him in the car & went for a drive. He was out like a light then.

Kids woke & I heard Danika & Kateleigh squeal with GLEE over finding reindeers! They were just so full of joy & excitement. I could hear “Oh LOOK isn’t that SOOO CUTE!”. The kids got to pat the deer & also feed them.

After the excitement settled about the deer they found the near by playground. They set off to try out the swings, slides & other fun stuff. The playground was rather old, something like I would have played on when I was a child. The weather was perfect & they had such fun. They made some friends, so they were set. Solomon followed the girls around & had a go on things too. Some girls found some baby turtles in the playground so more excitement.

In the afternoon we went down to the creek & we all cooled off in the water. We chose a shallow area & the kids had fun. We had fun too. We saw a few lizards & dragonflies & butterflies. We made some “boats” with some empty drink containers & that provided lots of fun & entertainment.

On Sat night we had a BBQ dinner & then we lit a fire. We all sat around toasting marshmallows. The kids were that tired that they asked to go to bed!

We left Sunday about lunchtime. What a great weekend it was & we can’t wait to go again. Here’s our weekend in photos.
