Skunks, hotdogs and rope





Last week was our annual homeschool group camping trip to a local conservation area. It seems to be tradition that the weather is unpredictable but fun is still had. We enjoyed some beach time, playing in the woods, sitting around the fire eating hot dogs and marshmallows. Shai found a skunk and thankfully the skunk had mercy on us and dodged the 15 or so kids trying to feed it marshmallows(phew!). The kids brought their rock climbing ropes. When we left the door I asked why they would be needing those, "you never know when you need a rope mum". Of course I thought, but low and behold they spent a good portion of the evening swinging on the ropes from the trees. They were right :)
We have since booked two camping trips since going and are looking forward to them, it kind of put the bug in our pants to get in gear.
