Okaaay... So we went to Bridport Bayview Centre for about 5 days. The Terry family (Ben & Belinda, Zoe, Eli, Ella), the Morgan family (Jana & Andrew, Charlise, Noah), the Bradbury's (Mum & Dad, myself, Bekah, Leia, Kayla, Alisha, Jonny) and randomly the Walker family (Liz, emily and her boyfriend stefan, jacqui, pheobe, lillie-mae, ben) came even though they're not related to us!!

I arrived a little while before mum did so i chose my cabin (no.5) as soon as i could! I wanted one with this view:

...Instead i got an even BETTER view (but forgot to take a picture of it :P )
Some shots of the cabins:

On the first day we were there, Bekah and i went for a scenic drive out of Bridport, up some random dirt road, which then turned into a 4-wheel-drive track, in search of some point on the map we had... I took my nissan pulsar on a 4-wheel-drive track!!! WOOT! It was hilarious and bekah and i couldn't stop laughing once we found cemented roads again!! We had to dodge pot-holes only to land in others, put up with corrigation lumps the size of trenches (mild exaggeration there) and make sure we didn't go drifting across the dirt into the shrubbs (which nearly happened a couple of times)!! Yep. We're thrill seekers ;)

On Sunday morning, Nan, myself, Bekah and Alisha travelled all the way from Bridport to Launceston for Church and back again! It was a wonderful adventure.
On Sunday afternoon, Aunty Marg, Aunty Thelma, Emma and her children all arrived from the various places they came from to join us at camp! They didn't recognise me until i started talking! It was wonderful to see them all. Last time i saw any of them i was roughly 9 years old, i think.
Sunday was also Ella Terry's birthday...

We went to the beach when it was sunny, swam, played tennis up at the camp, played many games of pool, volleyball was a hit for all, card games when the weather went sour, charades was also an... "interesting" experience (although i was half asleep at the time, i did hear ALOT of laughing and the following day heard alot about what happened!)

Here's some of the pictures...

[We were all chilling out on the deck on the most beautiful day... we did alot of just hanging around, it was nice to just sit and chat]

[I couldn't resist painting the gorgeous view!]

There was some Christmas fever when we started roasting marshmallows and lighting sparklers...


[Yes, i confess, that is me in PJ's having a fun time with kiddie-sparklers!]

[Jonny and Eli working some 'Magic' together, hehe]

[Yep... the fever has made mum go loopy...]
