Day 1of Camp

Well the day started out pretty much as expected, lots of tears and whining about not wanting to go on camp, my wife can be very persuasive however. So after drying my eyes and kissing my beer fridge goodbye for the week I set off for school.

The children were buzzing, even those trying to be cool and making out nothing was happening. Lots of cases, favourite pillows and soft toys, my teddy is in the case. Pleased to say that we got off to a very good start, left nobody behind and got to camp in less than an hour.

The camp is fantastic, million dollar views of the river and city. I will try to snap a couple of shots , wish I had a better camera to get the night time view, Perth is a beautiful city at night.
The facilities are top-notch. Each dorm is very clean and comfortable and has its own shower/toilet, plus a fridge for drinks and fruit.

Once settled in with a few minor re-arrangements of rooms it was time for lunch (beef burgers) before getting into some activities. The three activities which cover the first two days include; rafting for group 1, abseiling for group for group 2 and the flying fox for group 3.

We just had our movie night, knocked off a hot chocolate and the children are going to go bed and fall asleep allowing the teachers a restful night, I also believe in the tooth fairy. Time to go, good night for now.

p.s. it seems the in-camp catchword for 2008 camp is "wasabi", so to keep in the spirit of things I will just finish here with , "Wasabiiiiiiiii"
