Little Missy had a blast this past weekend.
She told us that she could have stayed camping with the Voortrekkers until she is a grandmother herself! She also wished that her friends could have experienced the same!
Some of the photos:
She told her dad today that the best thing of the weekend was the jungle gym in front of their sleeping quarters!

Some of the things the Moms and Dads had to do this weekend: (For future reference, of course)
- Camping in the cold and dust.
- Hanging around children who tells you that you are not needed! You can go!
- Doing camp duties such as a night walk with the children, or a 12 - 2 am security watch. (Although I have a strong suspicion that the dads enjoyed the standing-around-the-camp-fire-with-wine-stories!)
- Standing to attention 6 times and singing the National Anthem.
- Being woken by Afrikaans songs being played over loudspeakers at 6 am on Saturday and 6:30 on Sunday.
- Having to remind the little ones they need to go to the toilet, or brush their teeth, or change clothes! (Not a priority in their lives!)
- Having to do a dust load of washing after the weekend.
- Having to contend with very exhausted children on Sunday night.
Yes, the things we do for our children!
