My camp



On the 8th of November I went on grade 4 camp at Arrabri Lodge which is around the Dandenong Ranges.
We arrived at 10:30am and got straight into activities we got split into groups for this.

Our first activity was damper cooking it tastes a bit like scones. Our second activity was orienteering you have to go round the whole camp about 3 acres looking for 26 signs we came second. Then we went for bush dancing later in the evening when we where taught some dancing and then we went on an late night walk to a camp fire where we toasted marshmallows and told stories.



Next day we had breakfast and then went into activities we did archery for the 2 sessions and I got a BULLSEYE. After morning tea we went to team Initiatives.

Some of the activities where hard some where Easy my favorite one was the tight rope walk with the rope then we had the flying fox.

We also have a new addition to our family........a large trampoline in our front garden. The boys have had great fun with it along with friends from down the road.

The Ashes - Part One





We spent our long weekend preceding the Melbourne Cup with our growth group from church down on Phillip Island.....nine adutls and thirteen children all the same house...it was very relaxing as you can imagine.

WE actually had a great time...the dads were allowed to play some golf and the mums indulged in some lunch and retail therapy.

The Sunday was a glorious day and we played some beach cricket...highlight was Sam bowling Dad first ball.
