Camping 2 KM from home

This weekend we camped at school.  Two kilometres from home.  Who knew it would be THAT much fun.  Friday was great.  Warm.  There was stalls for the kids to spend our money on, Superstar competition…stuff.  Apparently many people also drank a lot if I looked at the wine bottles I threw away the next morning.

Saturday we had our last mini-cricket matches.  FINALLY the older boys won a match.  Not only win but they smashed the other team.  The boys had fun spending too much money again.  They were running up and down and I think they definitely forgot that they were actually at school.  Just fun.

Our caravan seemed to be the centre of the weekend.  Which was really great.  Everyone kept thanking us for our hospitality lol I loved that.  I loved that the kids all played around our area.  I didn’t have run off to look for my kids as everyone tended to be near the caravan.

Last night it was freezing.  The blew all day long.  Weather was horrible.  Didn’t stop any of us though!  There was a singer that came to perform at school and the kids went covered with TWO blankets each, sitting on a blanket, wearing two jerseys.  They had so much fun that they never sat on the blankets or were covered with the blankets.  They stood in front of the stage jumping up and down.

Today we had a church service on the rugby field.  Our first visit to church in well over a year and a half.  Was really nice.  We then had carvery and actually didn’t want to leave!  All of us eventually decided that an afternoon at home will be fun, so we said goodbye and left.  It’s not like we won’t be seeing each other tomorrow again :)
