happy campers

three daze days of The Great Outdoors,
dining on Watties Big Eat out of a can,
staying up late around the outdoor fire
with dark chocolate, a bottle of red
and Deb's hilarious stories,
cuddling lots of babies,
swimming, swinging,
sleeping rough on crinkly mattresses,
dodging raindrops (with not a bikini in sight)

the mommies running breathlessly
up and down treacherous clay banks
trying to keep up with the kiddos
orienteering

Rob doing his cool encouraging thing with M6

going up and down the hill slide

J12, kayaker extraordinaire

S10 rescuing a rather freaked out M6

my personal fave: rifle range.
S10 aims at the targets, on that wall,
eleventy billion miles away
down the end of that field

J12 aims and fires his ten shots too.

no photo of moi, but here's my target.

see all those BULLSEYES?
i kid you not, i *am* Jane Smith.

M6 *loved* swinging over
The Crocodile Pit

S10 and buddies,
with their bivouac in foreground,
or background, i can't really tell lol.
let's hope that if they get lost in the bush
there's a friendly architect nearby!

M6 blew us away with his sure-footedness
on the Burma Bridge:
a three-wire-rig up to the Flying Fox

J12 managed to grab a third ride on said Fox,
bouncing and waving all the way down:
Look Mum, no hands...
