cool camping

i haven't been camping since i got married & had kids. this year i decided i've had enough of fancy holidays and it's back to basics again.

so - off we went to the camping shop to buy a tent. i love having the flexibility of not having to book in advance, being able to just pack up & go, going where the fancy takes me, being outside all day, pottering about with a little stove, etc etc. the tent i have from my days as a single girl is not big enough for the 3 of us - and i suspect by now it probably leaks like a siv anyway.

i told the guy in the shop that criterion nr. 1 was i have to be able to set it up on my own. 
(gee, thanks mate)
today we practised setting it up & we try out how the tent sleeps in our front garden. the kids decided to have a show once the tent was set up - (just so you understand why the funny outfits)

 oh dear.
well, they didn’t tell me that in the instructions. I did think, what is that thingybobby for, when I pushed it through the loop. hmm. oh well. must remember next time.
















ok. so. doesn’t win the beauty contest, but i reckon – not bad for a first attempt & all on my own!

  4. Mooie tent, staat als een huis. Doen wij je niet eens na met twee personen.

    Krijg je nou ook ruzie met jezelf bij het opzetten? ;-)
