We're camping in the rain!

So in bright sunshine we headed off to Warburton for a camping long weekend. Shorts and t-shirts was the dress code and all seemed fine - surely the weather forecast was going to be wrong! Unfortunately for us the weather forecast was not wrong and we did indeed receive gail force winds and pouring rain on Saturday. We managed to baton down the hatches for the night but when we woke and there were puddles inside the tent (coming up from the floor rather than a leaking roof line) we decided it may be time to pack up shop and head home. The kids had a fantastic time regardless and even though it wasn't really long enough the grown ups had a 'relaxing' (as much as you can camping with young children) time too.

This is the way we wash our kids on a cold and frosty morning...
