Day one & two of camping

Over the Easter weekend we packed the car and headed 3 hours south to the beautiful Tabourie Lake near Ulludulla.  The drive there is beautiful, one of our favorites actually.  We headed out early and made a few stops along the way.

First stop, Fitzroy Falls.

Lucy was scared of the grate in the floor.....I was too.  I'm not a fan of heights,combine that with my kids standing by a cliff and I go a bit overboard with telling the kids to be careful.

We hiked around and saw all the falls.  The trail looked like the game Temple Run.  The kids love playing that on the iPad and so they had fun pretending they were on temple run.

This was outside the bathrooms and as we walked out Liv started laughing and said, "How do you fit your butt in there?"

After a few stops and hikes we finally made it to our campsite where we met our friends Jared & Laura and their 3 cute girls.  While we set the tent up the kids played in a small petting zoo next to our camp.

What's a tent without some fun screen faces.

After settling in that night, we had marshmallows and talked and then climbed into our cozy tent.

The next day we headed over to the beach which was a 5 minute walk from camp.  There was an area where you had to wade across the water to get to an island.

I tried making the girls into mermaids but their tails turned out looking more like a bone.

Jared always combs Lucy's hair.

The kids spent a ton of time at the park with a billion other kids.

There were a few kitchens at the camp so one night we ate dinner at a table with lights.

We ate a delicious steak...fanciest dinner I have had camping. :)

 On Sunday we went to a tiny branch in Ulludulla for church.  The branch was at the back of a Chinese restaurant.  The chapel was tiny so all of us filing in was quite the sight.

They only had sacrament meeting because there was a huge parade in the cute little town going on and everyone in the town was involved.

So we joined the rest of Ulludulla and found a spot on the street and camped out to watch the parade.  It was actually pretty entertaining.

                                                                   Two countries I love.

Aw, Australia & Italia

Jack loved waving at everyone.

After the parade we came back to camp and had a little Easter egg hunt.  Loads of chocolate.

We hit the free mini golf too.  It lasted about 5 minutes because Jack was determined to pick up all the balls.

                              We left the dads to golf while the kids ran through the splash zone.

I will post the next couple days of our camping adventure soon.
