Forest finale

Making smiley faces ...

We returned from "the Ridge" with just a few days left of school before the term break. 

Unfortunately, we were a bunch of sickies over the holiday fortnight so our vague plan of several nights forest camping was revised to a day trip, which we enjoyed on the last day. It was a fairly laid-back adventure, which definitely suited our energy levels!

Vaughan and I decorated cup-cakes that I had made the night before. Nick collected fire wood and we all poked the fire into coal-production for our camp oven roast dinner.

In between times we checked on the Bower Bird's bower, netted for tadpoles (on a catch and release basis), fed the currawongs and spotted for lizards!
