Camp out.

Well we ventured forth at 6 1/2 weeks and took Matilda on her first camping trip. Camping here in Australia is a bit different from back home, at least from most of the camping that I have done, the main difference being that you can't have camp fires and that they have gas BBQ's around for everyone to use. I do miss the campfires, they are great at night and who doesn't like roasting marshmellows ;).

We traveled up Friday afternoon and Matilda slept the whole way which was wonderful. There were about 24 of us there so never had a problem finding someone wanting to hold her, she has such a wonderful disposition so people like watching her. We set up the tents and just enjoyed being together. She did absolutely wonderful. To save on space we didnt' take a porta cot or anything she just slept on the mattress with us. She was such a trooper and hardly fussed at all. Saturday was warm, sunny, and very windy and little Mattie got some pink cheeks. (So we had to be careful about her wearing a hat to keep the sun and wind off). Sunday we all worshiped together then headed home. She is a great little camper and I can't wait to take her again.
