Fish Attack

KIDS FIRST TRIP CAMPING

We took the kids down to Blanch town to go camping. Kids have never been camping in a tent before. Rachel was a bit worried about having to ‘cop a squat’ to go to the loo but she managed fine after hours of stage fright. Was another windy day and we managed to set up the tent in super fast speed. We took with us too a large sun shade so wouldn’t get burnt this time. Worked a treat and gave lots of shelter and wind protection.

Within the first few hours we had caught a fish and once again (even with the new 30lb line it broke the line) we were not impressed but tried again. Once we had the fish on the line Aaron jumped in and got the new net and got it out. Was a huge fish and kids were so excited to catch it. Jake even read the fish a book about space ships. We had to explain you cant eat Cod nor let is go as it is an environmental nightmare. So the fish got fed to the ants and we learnt about ants behaviors. Over all kids really enjoyed themselves. They were very well behaved and slept very well in the tent.

Aaron popped out to Blanch town to get some nappies for Jake and left Rachel and I at the camp. Of course while he was gone we got a fish on the line. Rachel and I fought the fish as much as possible but just it came within reach to put in the net the line snapped AGAIN and the swivel shot out of the water and hit my stomach. I have decided obviously my stomach and camping don’t seem to agree. I am still getting over the sun burn which I got last time and this week I managed to get a bruise and cut. My poor baby belly it cant help it sticks out…
