a getaway to paradise

we have had a few days away camping at the beach. I have developed the REALLY BAD habit of only using my phone. In fact at the moment I only get the BIG camera out to photograph my crochet. Oops.

So starting with lil sis playing peek a boo in the camper trailer, through a tired Tess the Wonderdog all the way to our battery operated fairy lights... it was a great getaway!

Our Camper Trailer - Part Deux

Remember the excitement when the tent arrived?

Well this is Part Two. The beginnings of a trailer.

It is a Hilux tray, currently upside down on a car trailer, but DH assures me he can turn into the trailer of my dreams!! (Yes lately I have been dreaming of trailers, and awesome camp kitchens!)

Please send him all you "get in and get it done" vibes. First weekend in May is a long weekend here, wouldn't it be great to go camping?

It's here!!!

Our very own tent style camper trailer tent arrived tonight!! (we still need to acquire the trailer part!) The guy we bought it off brought it around. He wouldn't part with the trailer, he built it himself when he was 20. He is considerably more than 20 now!, so DH is going to build us a trailer.

The girls and I were very excited and I considered it a camera moment. As you can tell from the pic it is p-p-precipitating p-p-profusely here at the moment. Has been all day and is expected to last through till Sunday. (That's DH on the right in the brown.)

Right now our very own tent style camper trailer tent (!) is residing on the driveway. I asked DH how we would move it and he said right now he is not sure! Lol.

BTW, if you happen to be the praying kind, could you say a few for my dad. He is in hospital again, second time this year.

Many thanks, Jodie

Camping

We took the girls and Tess the wonderdog on their first camping trip last week. We went to Flannagan's Reserve out west from here. We went there 'cause dogs are allowed if you keep them on a leash.

It was a full moon while we were out there and the silly birds got confused and were noisy throughout the night thinking the sun had risen when it fact it was the moon! We slept through their noise the second night.

We set up our site looking out towards the adjoining property. There were cows in there and kangaroos early in the morning.

The other side of the reserve was on the Logan River. We kept away from there just to be safer with the girls. It was very pretty though.

Chanel fought having an afternoon sleep and literally nose-dived into her bunk!

The down side when we got home was that our Tess had picked up a paralysis tick. We rushed her to the vet late yesterday and she is in Doggy hospital now. Hopefully she will be home tomorrow.
