And the story begins

So here goes, the last 5 days at our camping adventure

Day 1 - leaving day. Mummy was so proud of herself because she managed to pack all of our camping gear into little Froggy. She did a very good job and only needed to try once before it all fit. Mind you, there was no way anyone else was fitting into our car - it was a good thing it was just mummy and I. While mum was doing that I was helping Nah pack there big car and climbing in and out of the 4wd - such a big girl! I got bitten 5 times by the mozzies while we were waiting, which made me quite upset as all my bites were clearing up. Mummy got concerned as to what was going to happen once we got to the camping grounds near the creek, she thought the mozzies would be on a rampage down there. Daddy came to visit to say "tata" and we had an imaginary tea party and then we jumped in the car and off we went. That was when the real adventures begun. On the way down (mummy was following Poppa and has learnt since that it is better to just find your own way there first, rather then follow someone else) poppa needed to stop to go to the toilet, and when we were leaving again mummy got stuck behind some traffic and lost which was poppa had went. Because they had come off the highway onto a service road mummy assumed that they just needed to get back onto the high way, which apparently they didn't (this was only because Poppa actually didn't know where he was going and it turned out mummy had gone the right way). Cutting a long story short, being lost on a very busy highway and trying to talk on the mobile phone which mummy hates to do is not a good idea. Anyway, mummy found her way to the camp ground, got very cross at Poppa because he kept trying to call her which was silly while mummy was trying to drive. When we got into Canungra mummy's phone has no reception and she didn't know which was the actual camping spot was so we just drove around for a long time. I think it was lucky the place we went was so beautiful because it calmed mummy down alot. I slept the whole time - luckily i think! We got there as the sun was setting so we had to hurry and put the tent up (which mummy did with unka munkas help. she is very clever at camping). That night i spent my first night on a big girl stretcher. It took me a little while to fall asleep but was very good after that. When mummy came in to go to bed she saw that i had fallen off (which was probably why i cried a little bit) which she thought was quite funny. That was the only time i fell off all weekend. Slept all night, woke up at 6!

Day2- We started the day lazy, lots of family to play with is a great thing and mummy had brought my bike and bubba so we did lots of playing. Auntie Sas, Paul, Callum and Zoe got here today so we helped them set up. I was so excited to see Zoe was spending some days camping wtih us as well. We helped them set up there tent and ate lunch. having a nap today was hard work and it took me almost an hour and a half to get to sleep. I was being a good girl and not crying or tryin to leave the tent, but i was definitely taking advantage of the fact i could get out of bed and i was getting into a lot of mischief. We went for a walk down to the creek today and i got to paddle my feet. I loved going for walks to the toilet to do wees, and mummy and i played lots of tiggy on the oval (or mummy chased me mainly). I even got to take Chino for lots of walks. Went to bed really easily tonight, and slept till 6 again.

Day 3- Today we went on adventures up to O'Reillys. O'Reillys is a national park up the top of a really really really big mountain. It took us an hour to drive the 30kms up there, and there was lots of twists and turns and one-lane traffic. It was very busy to which didn't make the drive any quicker as we had to stop for lots of traffic to get passed. Mummy drove and she did a very good job considering she had never driven up anything quite so difficult before. When we finally got up the top we went on a big bush walk through the trees, and up on a big treetop bridge. I loved bush walking and when it was safe mummy let me walk on my own. I was such a good girl too and kept to the path and moved to one side when there were people coming the other way. We saw lots of pretty birdies, but not much other wild life. It was so pretty up the mountain though, i've never seen anything quite like it. Mummy loved it alot and thinks she would like to move somewhere that pretty one day. SOmetthing for her to keep in mind,there was a lot of little schools up there. :)

Day 4 - Easter Bunny came to me last night and brought me a present! I was so glad he could find me as i was getting a bit concerned! Her gave me a pink teaset which i LOVE and some little eggs. Nahnah and Poppa also gave me a book and some little kinda surprise bunnies. I handed out all the easter eggs that we got for all the families, i was a cute little easter bunny mummy said. This morning we went for another bush walk up an equally as beautiful hill as yesterday. Today mummy fell even more in love as we went through lots of beautiful little villages, she recommends anyone go up there for a visit. I went for another bush walk today which mummy had to carry me most of the way (2km with a 12kg weight, mummies arm muscles are going to grow very big!) because there was lots of stones and tree roots sticking out. It was so pretty through the rain forest and we saw so many lovely old trees. I was very fascinated and had great fun. We then came home and had lunch, and afterwards went for a drive up Tamborine Mountain. We stopped at an amazing lookout where it looked like you could see the whole entire world from there, and then went for a walk around Tamborine and had some coffee. There was lots of fairy shops and i enjoyed cruising around the streets. We stopped at a couple of winery's on the way home. I got to call Daddy today which was really exciting as i hadn't spoken to him for a long time. I missed him lots, but his phone was off so i left him a couple of voicemails.

Day 5 - Home time. I woke up really early this morning, i was excited to be going home and going to see Daddy! It was a bit to early though and i got to have another snooze in mummys bed until 6 am when I got up and we had our last camping meal. After that i helped mummy pack up all our stuff, and put it all back into Froggy for the trip home. Again she got it all in in one go, and this time managed to leave enough room for uncle ashy to come home with us. We left before everyone else so that i could get to daddys quicker. I slept the whole way home and then mummy took me to Daddys, where i was very excited to get there. :)

And that was our amazing adventures, or what I can remember anyway. It was such a great time, and i was such a good girl. I was even very careful near the fire, and ate like a horse the whole time. i can't wait for my next adventure.
