An Icy Camping Adventure

We set out on another camping trip this weekend. I have to say that it is getting a little cold for my liking to be sleeping out of doors, but all in the name of spending time together as a family.
We went to a camp site that Danny had been to the week before, and lucky for us, no one else was around, it was perfect for motorbike riding. Noah spent the whole day on Saturday on the bike, he's doing so well. Danny ,Rich and Chris spent most of the day on their bikes too. Charlie had fun mucking around in the dirt, thankfully it wasn't wet! Simone and I went for a nice walk down to the river, it was really pretty. Eli just mucked about too, and and had the occasional dink on the bike.

I didn't need to bring a toy box for Charlie because he had the tool box. he's SUCH a boy!

Needless to say, our camping adventure came to an abrupt end at around 2am on Saturday night (yes that's right 2 am on the coldest night of the year). Apparently we weren't the only ones camping that night and it happens that the area we chose to camp is also a favorite spot for the local redneck "Yahoos". It was so terrible, they weren't even camping in our site but kept coming over in the 4wd's doing burnouts and yelling and stuff trying to case trouble. They were sooooo loud and quite scary, it got to a point were they became quite threatening and wanting to fight, so we decided it wasn't worth sticking around. We rushed to pack up our icy tents and swags and got out of there. And yes it was as horrible as it sounds!!! What an adventure, not a good one but a memorable one. Don't think we'll be going back there in a hurry.
