Our Easter Camping Trip - by Amita and Lizzie

We went camping near Warwick. I liked sleeping in my tent. It was fun.

I liked going to the playground. We went on a merry-go ground, a horse see-saw, and their were animals near the playground.

I had fun putting marshmallows in the fire. I only like white marshmallows. I love that Nan and Pa got us light hats to go camping. I love you Nan and Pa. 

I like this funny picture because there is Lizzie and me and I'm doing a funny thing. It looks like I'm tired because I just woke up on this froggy (she means foggy) morning. It was cold! 

I liked feeding the sheeps. I love sheeps. The sheeps are so cute. 

I got to pat some chickens. They felt soft like the horse and the sheep. I tried to catch some chickens but they are fast and ran away. A girl caught a chicken and let me pat it. 

Lizzie says : I pat chicken.

Freckles (the horse she is riding) was trying to eat my Dad. Freckles was trying to stop but the lady would click her tongue to make her keep going. I liked all of the spots on the horse. She has eyelashes like me. I love horses!

Lizzie says: I go horse riding too! I love horse riding! (she keeps asking us to go horse riding again)

I was like a ninja jumping on the log like a frog. 

Dad helped Lizzie go on the log too. 

We went to Queen Mary's Falls and there was a big tree that looked like Shrek's house. It was big and lovely. Shrek's house is very cute too. 

Those rocks at the bottom dropped off a long time ago. We didn't see it happen. I wasn't scared of being so high but Mummy was. I was reading all of the warning signs on the path for my family. There was: hold hands with Mum and Dad, don't fall off, don't go in the water, and don't get lost. 

Lizzie says: Go on my walk. 

This is Lizzie, Mum and Amita at Queen Mary's Falls. We felt the water coming off the waterfall. It's very magical because the water can come off (which reminds me, I had to explain to Amita how drop toilets work and you don't have to flush them - she said, "that's so magical!" - first time I've ever heard a toilet being described as magical!).  

There's me and Lizzie. I looked like my Dad because I painted a beard on my face. I wanted to look like a sparkly rainbow but the colours got mixed up. Lizzie's nose is colourful. She looks nice. We went down the hill on our bikes and said, "oohhhhhhh, they, voooool," because it was silly and sounded funny when we went over the bumps. I was going a long way and was balancing and my Mum said, "good job!"

I was Malificent and Lizzie was being Mal (characters from the Disney Descendants movie). We were putting the stick up and down and crossing our legs. We sang the song, 'do you want to be evil like me.' 

This is what it looks like in the movie. I wish I could be Mal because I like her (don't worry, Mal makes good choices at the end of the movie). I love her purple hair. 

We saw a butterfly. I called it Spotty. He was drying his wings. 

Lizzie was so afraid of the butterfly because it flew near her.

We went fishing to try and find guppies and fishies. We didn't find any. My Mummy said there's some at Charley's Creek so we will catch some there instead.

My favourite things about camping were seeing the butterfly, going fishing, going horse riding, seeing Queen Mary's Falls and eating marshmallows. I didn't like the campfire though because the smoke hurt my eyes. 

Lizzie wants to add: 'I go camping now.'
