Easter 2018 - the one where...

The sooners arrived a week beforehand for a set-up weekend

Some makeshift benches were made from concrete and old timber

 Bron and the chair (nope no memory of that)

 Kids did a dance spectacular in front of the house with the speaker running out of charge half way       through. Participants were:

April Fraser Siofra Erin Mari Phoebe Mary and Nikhita.

Freya brought her friend Ruby and the teens formed a gang

Wayne and Pippa hosted some old school races

More teens than little kids. About as many teens as adults!

Erin said it was the worst Easter ever cos she was sick of chocolate by 9am but when she found the big kinder - the big prize in the Easter Egg hunt - lurking at the back of Chester's freezer, it became her best ever.

Jazzy wasn't happy with her Easter. :-( :-( :-(

Tim found a fun guy to be with

Iwan put up his tent and never slept in it

It was the triumphant return of Heath, Alexis and Harriet.

Darryl and the gate ( no memory of that either. I must take more detailed notes)

Mary and Phoebe took over the egg hunt which included a new style of pre-hunt motivational speech by Mary (Whatever Trevor).

Easter 2018 - Old Fashioned Fun

Christmas Creek, Easter 2018.

Wonderful weather, fantastic people and lots of kids having fun.

A few photos by Wayne and Pippa

Sept 2017: The One Where...

The creek was warm! (ish)

We had boiling hot weather on Friday and Saturday, then freezing (19 degrees and rainy) on Sunday and Monday.

We learnt most of the Sgt Pepper album and played it to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its release.

Paul brought Ezra, Asha and Josiah with him for the first time.

It was Grand Final weekend. (the Richmond beat the Crows and the Storm beat the Cowboys but more importantly The Killers played at the AFL and Macklemore played Same Love at the NRL)

Mary and Phoebe learnt some uke songs and led the kids in rousing renditions of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Sweet Home Alabama and many more....  

  Michelle cut Chester and Nell's hair

  Alfie found Nell's glasses ($10 reward) and swam in Girl's water bowl 

Darryl made lamb and lentil curry for Chester and scored 10/10.

Ory turned up, set up camp and then had to leave as Jasmine had chicken pox.

Eoin and Wayne improved on their rendition of Carol Brown

The kids did a flashdance to Thriller

Tim went bushwalking every day and came back glowing!

Mary and Phoebe found a big spider in their tent and had to enlist Rudy to get rid of it.

Lamington Landcare was planting

Pippa sang Riptide with Mary accompanying on ukulele

Sept 2017 - Incomplete Group Shot and Roll Call

Some of the cast of players from the September camp. It's very hard to get everyone in the same spot for long enough to take a picture!
