THe NT has this great public holiday called Picnic Day. Don’t you think that is great a day set aside for picnics? Anyway, yesterday was picnic day and so we had a picnic. It was a wonderful picnic in the riverbed opposite our house. There were lots of kids and dogs and good food to be enjoyed. As well as a really good dose of lazing around. It made me really happy.

The other thing we did for the long weekend was take Nina on her first camping experience. It went pretty well really. She loved it – being outdoors is definitely her thing. Although there was a bit of hard work for us making sure she didn’t choke on rocks or consume too much sand. Not to mention night feeds and early mornings in a tent are pretty cold.
