Camping at Perth Hills Discovery Centre

Our first camping ever. It was real fun!

We went with 3 other families and our kids are all the same age. 

The site that we went to is good for amatuer like us. 

 

This is our tent or they called it bungalow/taj mahal compared to other people's tent. 

We got this 6p tent from Tentworld when it's on sale. i think it was $169. 

I must say we love our tent cuz it's spacious... though it took me and joe 30mins to set it up. (bare in mind, we set it up on a spot that is smaller too, so we are kinda trying to make it work in that small spot) hehe

I booked that spot before I got the tent. So... luckily it worked haha

This is 4p Tent. 

We weren't allow to do gas stove cooking or camp fire. so we had to cook our food on this bbq area. 

it makes cooking real slow.. cuz we prepared food that need super hot cooking. 

It was raining, so the kids playing inside out tent. getting real comfy :)

This is our morning breakfast looks like. chaotic and noisy kids around the table while parents preparing food for them. 

After breakfast activity by aunty Clare. 

She prepared camping activity book for the kids and they loved it!

I also have videos of the toilet and shower. They are clean! Of course we users have to clean it after using it somehow. like a quick mop. 

There are 4 or 5 showers, 2 bigger space toilet and 5 cubicle kind of toilet. 

We did some bush walking with the kids and saw mundaring dam from far. 

We stayed there 3 days 2 nights, and decided to have lunch on our second day at Cafe Mojo . The cafe was beautiful and food were nice too!

Kids had so much fun on Easter Sunday doing easter egg hunt!

Thank you for organising this camping trip Clare! It is an unforgetable trip for the kids and definitely for the adults too. Let's do it again!

Below is a map that I drew roughly for camp spots. the map on the website is not really correct imo.

We stayed at the "round" area which is perfect for 4 families. It's like our little area. There is a campfire in the middle, unfortunately we were not allowed to use it during that time. 

" Host " is where you check in. 

Biggest spot in this camp is Chuditch. 

Bella

*Just realised I wrote this post last year and didn't post it up! So there you go!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Have I show you my baby girl Bella Boo?

She is the best thing ever!

This is when I got her on the 7th Jun 2015. She was 1 year old that time.

 

Tiny little girl isn't she.

I never thought I would love a dog so much!!
I have dogs before but I never knew how to teach them or guide them. I just play with them whenever I like , like a toy. Which I feel so bad about now.

I remember when I was young, I really want a dog so badly, I kept disturbing my sister to go to the pet shop. nearly every weekend! She knows I really like the pups, so she got me a puppy. A very cute puppy. A yorkshire terrier. His name was Miki. He was my baby that time. Unfortunately, I left home and went to Perth to further my studies, and that was when Miki passed away due to a surgery.  :(

Anyway, back to Bella. I found her from Gumtree.

 

A family of 4 didn't have the time to take care of her and felt bad for her, so they decided to sell it to a better family who will have more time to be with her. *me me me!! *

So there you go! 

Bella has a nice bath and hair cut.

After a few weeks of training with me, she now knows around 30 commands. 

What a smart little girl! 

Game of Thrones Birthday Party

Every year I will think of a theme for Joe's birthday and the latest theme (which is last year, yes.. I forgot to post haha) was Game of Throne theme! 

It was the best!!!

Look at a whole table of Game of Throne food!

It was a surprise birthday party for him but he sort of can guess days before because I was busy getting all the stuff ready! So since he knows a bit now.. I asked him which character he wanna be. He said he wants to be Robert Baratheon!

 

 

Guess what! I went to the Salvos, got a leather jacket that looks okay on him and did some alteration and look!!!  My paper cutting skills is not bad isn't it? hahaha Low cost costume, I love it!

I got all props secondhand and some handmade.

The Throne, the Poster and the candle stand is a must for the guests. hehe

What's exciting is I found the GOT House's logo online and I just download them, print them to the correct size, buy the alcohol and stick them! Took me days to do this but I love it!!!

Yep alcohol is a must for GOT and for Joe's party. Make sense yea.

Next is the most important part of the party... FOOD!!!

To be honest, because of this party, I watched all 4 season all in 2 weeks. It's madness. I was singing GOT theme song a few times a day and got so into it!! 

Haha back to the food topic. Internet is the best. I search and search and finally come up with my own GOT menu. I copied the name of the dish cuz I find it funny!
