2006-03-14 Mandurah Crab Fest!







A: We went camping this weekend in Mandurah, and it was sooo funny! Mummy and Daddy couldn’t even build the tent on Friday, so I knew it was going to be funny! I slept all the way down to Mandurah – it is so nice going to sleep somewhere, and waking up completely different! It was so exciting. Mummy and Daddy put the tent right next to the campsite park! Even though I wanted to go and play in the park, I knew it would be funnier watching Mummy and Daddy set up the tent, and I helped too, and before we knew it, it was up! We all jumped in, cuddled up, and laughed!

We then went off to the Crab Fest! It was 5:30 by the time we got there, and it was a beautiful day! I was up until really late, and watched some not so good bands playing, went on the bouncy castle, watched some skateboarders hurt themselves, saw some camels, walked along the jetty, had hedgehog slice while Mummy and Daddy had coffee and cakes.

Camping on Saturday night was so funny. After we had a wash, we set up 2 torches, and Mummy and Daddy read stories to me, and we were soooo cosy! I finally fell asleep, and didn’t wake up until the morning!

After breakfast on Sunday, we went to a lovely beach in a bay, and Mummy and Daddy swam out to a jetty really far out to sea! I clung onto Daddy’s back on the way there, and Mummy’s on the way back! It was so funny! It was the deepest I have ever been, AND I jumped in!

I had an ice cream before we left – it was so nice, and it was chocolate!

Unfortunately, I was not well on Sunday night, and was sick many times during the night, and Monday morning. My head hurt so much, and we had no more sheets left because I messed them all up! Mummy and Daddy took me to the doctors on Monday, but by Monday afternoon, I was feeling better as I tried so hard to drink water, even though I didn’t feel like it! Daddy won me a tiger at the festival, and the tiger looked after me while I was not well. I love him.

C: The food at the festival was so nice! Such a treat, and pretty cheap! Aiysha slept so well in our tent, and in the middle of the night, she shouted “No, I don’t want to go camping!” It was so funny, as it was so untrue! We asked her about what she said in the morning, and she had no idea! She was so brave swimming out to the jetty on Sunday! I also found what looked like a piece of seaweed, but when Steve squeezed it, it oozed some jelly like substance – Aiysha was fascinated, as were we, and asked us to find more! We couldn’t find any, which was a shame.

S: Hmmm, Mandurah seems very suburban! The campsite was nice, and we rushed around trying to get all the equipment that we needed. All we forgot was a mallet, which is pretty important when setting up a tent. We managed to borrow one though, so that was lucky. The festival was out of crabs by the time we got there! Couldn’t believe it! Oh well, there was loads of other treats. Claire and I had the worst 2 drinks possible for camping – Beer and Coffee, and we did end up regretting it! What were we thinking?! On Sunday, we had a gorgeous full English on a pier! Amazing! Watched a little bit of the circus while we waited for Claire to find us, as we lost each other, and then tucked into more gorgeous food when we came back from the beach!

Aiysha was so brave when she was not well! We were so proud of her, and she knew when she needed to sleep. We were pretty worried at one stage on Monday when she wouldn't drink, but she tried so hard, and earned treats while she drank! Not a nice end to a lovely weekend.
