Camping is fun...

We were truly brave and took our little monkeys camping for 2 whole days and nights this week. We went with Matthew and his girlfriend Trudy and Trudy's children Callum and Teigan. We camped near Nottingham and Sherwood Forest. It was a lovely camp site and the weather was great until the morning we left(raining cats and dogs). I managed to step in a whole and sprain my ankle within hours of arrival, but didn't let it stop me. We cooked in true camping style and even introduced the family to s'mores a truly American camp tradition with an English twist, chocolate covered digestive biscuits in place of graham crackers and chocolate. They were yummy! Katya and Ollie love Trudy's kids and are so kind to them. Katya thinks Teigan is a real princess. Oliver seems to have made the executive decision that he wants real people food and mushed up food is for sissies. He even likes chocolate chip cookies. Funny for a little boy with no teeth! Both the kids slept well and were great the whole time. I admit I was a little concerned, but they really were good. We will be camping more in the future, cheap fun holiday!!!
