Our first camping trip in Australia

Camping in Australia is a bit different......no RV for starters!!!! We went over Easter weekend - much warmer weather than we usually have for Easter but we made due.... 


Emily & Nat made sausages for dinner....


 Smiling for the camera in her camo suit from Academy... Won't find one of them here.

 The water in the river was deep and clear but super cold!

Allie and I got a little too much sun

We had a nice time but all the work packing, setting up, tearing down and unpacking once you are home really make you appreciate the ease of the RV. I don't expect us to do very many one or two day trips like we use to. You really want to stay for longer to make all the work worth it.

Nice surprise

My wonderful husband surprised me by re-wiring my antique lamp to work on 220 volt. It has been sitting on my night stand for months but now I can actually use it to read by at night! What a sweetheart he is sometimes!!!
