Ebonys thoughts on camping........

FUN....FUN....FUN....FUN.......~Mummy asked me to write this time 'cause she reckons I've had more fun than she's ever seen. Now let me think. We left Friday and daddy wasn't sure where we were going (?). Mummy and daddy were a bit stressed because we got away later than they wanted - but once they decided where we were going...and we arrived all was well...that was until mummy discovered that they had no pillows! Oh well, luckily she got over that quickly!!! We went to a place 20kms south of Mitta Mitta just off the Omeo Highway. It was such a great place - right beside a creek with lots of room for me to run around. I couldn't see a thing when we got there 'cause it was dark...so we had dinner (veggies yum yum) and went to sleep (or at least I did). I slept really well, all cosy in my red Kathmandu suit...until 3.15am. I had to wake mummy and daddy - just 'cause I did :) They put me into bed with them (yippee) and we all slept together until about 6.45am when I decided it was time for us all to get up. It was really, really cold - but I got warm quickly when I ran around and around and around. By 9am I was ready for a nap when we went for a walk - so I slept in my pusher - but only for about an hour then it was time for more exploring and fun. Daddy met some other guys so mummy and I just played together. Then I decided it was time for another sleep so I slept (and so did daddy) while mummy relaxed and took some photo's. When I woke up I decided it was time for a swim - mummy and daddy couldn't believe I wanted to go in the water - but why not? After about 20 minutes I decided they were probably right and my feet and hands were really cold - so mummy bathed me and then it was more play time - and lots of time with my daddy. We went and collected some wood and built a fire...that was fun to watch - but gee it was hot if I got too close (which mummy and daddy kept watching out for all the time). I also had fun playing with the big bogong moths! (mummy couldn't believe that I would actually hold them....she had something about my pulling their wings off but I'm not sure why!) It was a great day filled with lots of fun and I was REALLY tired so I went to bed at about 7.30pm....mummy and daddy weren't that far behind. I decided that 6am was a good wake up time and this time there was no going into bed with mummy and daddy - it was time to get up! too much fun to have outside! Brekky then a walk, then daddy wanted to try out some more fishing - so I wanted to play in the creek while he did that! Then it was time for me to have more sleep - mummy said I slept for almost 2 hours - guess it's 'cause I had ran around SO much and had SO much fun. I found some really fun stuff to play with and went to show daddy and mummy. They both started laughing and laughing - I didn't know what was happening. They said something about cow poo?
I didn't like it when mummy and daddy started to pack things away. I thought this was our new home and I wanted to stay - but I'm too little and I just couldn't stop them....even though I tried REALLY HARD. Anyway mummy waited until we were all packed then gave me another bath and changed me out of my 'fun' clothes and into some thing she called 'more respectable'. Not sure what that means! Then it was back 'home' - and I was glad to be there where all my toys are. I just hope we get to go to the other 'home' again soon! Mummy said she'd put on some photo's so you could all smile. Till next time xxx
