We rose very early on Friday morning to catch our flight to Coffs. A dropped G and I at the airport. We had a huge trolley load of stuff and I could barely push the trolly but before I even got in the door a lovely lady came to my rescue and pushed the trolley to the correct line for me! We had a great flight, with views of the city as we left. G played the whole flight and we arrived in Coffs where another kind couple helped me unload my baggage. G and I had to wait for the cousins, they turned up all smiles ready to take us out to breakfast! It was then on to camp. G finally conked out as we drove the last hour to camp. When we arrived it was all hands on deck as we assembled our three sets of bunk beds and set up our cooking equipment and cupboards. The cousins even bought a shade tent with zips! Zips were very important to keep G away from the leaves, dirt, sticks etc. We attended our first evening meeting in the big tent and then collapsed into our bunk beds ( most of us had a torch and a book to while away some of the dark hours)! For me it was the only time I could actually read because G was asleep!!!
The second day of camp was Saturday and Nan and Pop came for the day! They had a very early start and arrived in plenty of time for church in the big tent. We then had a leisurely lunch in the shade tent and Nan was a hit, as she left a whole container of choc chip cookies! Nan and Pop headed off early in the afternoon and we started to work out our routine for the week. Rise between 6.00 and 6.30. Shower with G. Breakfast with G. Family worship in the big tent where I chase G around. Beginners tent where G has lots of fun running around! Back to our tent for a nap for G. Bible study in another tent from 11-12.00. Lunch!! Afternoon fun with the cousins! Evening meeting in the big tent 7.30-9.30pm.
