Trials weekend day 1

This weekend we had planned to go to Deep Creek to camp for the weekend as there was a trials competition today...   Unfortunately Jade and Blake were both coughing during the night on Friday...  when Jade woke she was feeling ok - but I didn't figure it was worth the risk of making either of them worse... so it was decided that I'd bring the kids home in the evening and get them to bed here where there was some chance at controlling the temps in their rooms...

I found these QLD supporter Jumpers at Best'N'Less on Friday... they're so cute.. I couldn't resist...








Our bikes, ready to be ridden.....  this was to be my first trials competition in nearly 2 years...

Caravan all set up....


We decided to take the Kinderkot instead of the port-a-cot this weekend as it takes up a little less room (although - after having put it up - we realised that it is still rather big....)  I just like it better for out bush because it's completely screened in - so no bities getting in and doing their thing...

I got Blake playing in it for a while first... this way if I put him in it while he was asleep he didn't wake up scared about where he was as this was the first time he'd use it...  (we'd originally bought this for Jade years ago)

he thought it was great....

Unfortunately it turns out that because the caravan was in the direct sun, it turned into a little sauna - so we had to take Blake out.... not that he minded getting to socialise again....



Jade plays so nicely with Blake....

Jade then had to try it on...

Did I mention that Greg was coming out for the weekend too?  been a while since he's come to trials... been pre-occupied with being a teenager and having a girlfriend!

Oh, and Abby Cadabby Came too....
(everyone came!!)


After a while, we took off on the bikes for a bit... 

Greg practising balancing....


We moved the Kinderkot to the back of the Prado..  Mom got Blake to sleep and then I transferred him into the kinderkot and closed the screens... he had a good sleep there...

The Fire was lit so that dinner could be cooked....

Blake was intrigued by the fire....

Don't get the bikes too close....


Jade found some logs to practice walking along balancing....

"Ta-Dah!!"

The boyz watching the fire...


I left with the kids before dinner time (we hadn't taken out enough meat for us to stay for dinner as I wasn't even sure how long we would have stayed during the day - I definitely didn't think we'd still be there once Mom was getting dinner ready....) - - Got Blake Fed, then bath time for the kids... then Jade helped me cook her scrambled eggs for dinner... then reasonably early night for the kids.....
