Once a year our family goes into the hills to Mt Crawford to spend the afternoon, have a bonfire and eat dinner. This year everyone was able to make it and even though the weather was very cold and a little bit wet we had a great time.
From the minute we got there the kids were off exploring and playing with their cousins. They don't always get to see all of their cousins so it was a real treat, Lachlan especially was in heaven.
(Side note : On Sunday I asked everyone what their favourite thing had been over the weekend. Lachlan's answer, "Seeing my two best friends, Samuel and Ethan!")
They helped collect some firewood, picked up pine cones, collected rocks, kicked balls, looked at sheep, splashed in puddles, hid behind trees, climbed over rocks, played hide and seek, roasted marshmallows, chatted, squealed and laughed!
Love the beanies! Grandma and Addi.
If you look closely you can see the sheep in the top left corner!
Love this one!
This is what the boys did the whole time. Ethan found a piece of rope and they used it to collect firewood. Apparently they named a couple of areas. One was called 'Pinecone slip' because when they were walking along Samuel slipped on a pine cone!
These girls were never apart for the whole afternoon. They spent a lot of time collecting rocks and hiding from the boys.
We all had a great time and can't wait to go again. Now if I can just get the smell of campfire out of my car!
