Well the 'Dry Season' has started and mum and dad took me camping. Last time we went camping was two years ago when I threw up at 4am in the morning and we had to pack up and leave the camp site. But safe in the knowledge that I haven't thrown up since our holiday in Singapore six months ago, mum and dad were sure that the same wouldn't happen again.
We went to Batchelor on the way to Litchfield National Park, about an hours drive from home. We found a really shady camp site and set up camp. Mum and Dad bought a new tent with three rooms and a sun annex. Dad says 'it's the Taj Mahal of tents.' All I know is that it took M&D ages to put it up, and they didn't even bother with the rain fly. Anyway, after the tent was up, Dad said that he needed a drink so off to the bar we went. I had a fruit juice and mum had a coffee. Dad must have been very thirsty as he had another beer.
After that we went to the pool for a swim which was great fun. I had a strawberry milk shake afterwards.
After a few problems with the gas light it was off to bed. In the morning I found a cane toad in the sun annex but Dad didn't keep it there for very long. We also found a frog in the pool and geckos in the toilet. Camping is so interesting.
Shortly after I saw Aoife and Eamon from my child care. They came in late the night before. Eamon said his dad took ages to put their new tent up too! M&D went and had a coffee a I had a babyccino before going into the supermarket in Batchelor. Did I tell you that I hadn't thrown up for ages? Well, Dad had great fun cleaning the supermarket floor and mum was not too pleased to drive back to the camp site with vomit in her hair and in her ears!!!! At least I wasn't sick over the sheets this time!
Eventually, M&D and me had another shower and dad said he needed a beer, so off to the bar again. No strawberry milkshake for me though, even though I wanted one - M&D were firm on this one.
Spent the rest of the day in the pool with Eamon and Aoife which was great fun before having roast dinner in the restaurant. Dad had another beer.
Looking forward to my next camping trip, not so sure about M&D.
