Camping with Dad...

I hadn't been camping with the kids this summer yet, so I figured I'd better go before autumn arrived. Last weekend was the only time that was going to fit before we moved, so that was what happened. We went to Dicky Flat - the same place Mel and Joanna stayed at last year.
Ben and Joanna were super-excited about going camping - they loved it. I left work slightly early on Friday afternoon and headed off then - we got there in time for dinner. The kids both had a good night - they slept well and didn't wake up early. We had the yummiest breakfast ever (according to Ben) and then headed off to Karangahake to go for a pleasant walk.
Back to the campsite for lunch and a rest, then we got to paddle in the river at the campsite before packing up and heading home. We had to stop in Paeroa for an ice cream on the way in an attempt to keep Joanna awake... I really didn't want her falling asleep and then not going to sleep until late at night!
