First we met up with Tricia and Little Eco up at Myall Lakes National Park - pop across to Tricia's page for some wonderful pictures. No TV, no computer and no MP3 players for 4 days - it was great to sit back and watch the kids just play and explore.
Of course we did do a lot of swimming....
There was lots of quiet time... here the kids were making the most of Grandma time - drawing and playing hangman....
We took the opportunity to take in the natural environment through a couple of short walks...
Once back home in Orange we spent the evenings at Lake Canobolas.. the kids tested their skills in a kayaks and can't wait to get back out again.
Sadly it is the last day of the holidays... and school goes back tomorrow and we all go back to work in earnest. It has been great to get out and enjoy a range of activities over the summer break - so much of it was outdoors, non-technological and overall very refreshing.
Camping was fun wasn't it. We'll have to do it again soon.
ReplyDeleteThe kayaking looks like great fun. Perhaps we should do an overnight canoe/kayak trip next time? That would be fun.
