Feeding time at the zoo


We've eaten today's lunch and half of tomorrows (unheard of - they've
got a really big appetite this weekend). Where using the same
quantities we always use but because of the weather their working up a
bigger appitie. Looks like a trip to the shop will be required later.

Chill time

This morning has been really chilled out. The cubs are currently
relaxing before lunch. Some working on a monster shelter, some
creating their own adventure amongst the trees and bushes, others just
sitting around chilling out. The mood in camp is very relaxed, the
weather is very hot and the behaviour of the cubs is excellent.
Children being allowed to just be children, creating adventures,
inventing games and exploring the safe environment that is forest
camp. More pictures coming soon.

1am and all is well

It's times like now that you are reminded just how good our kids are.
Apart from the three cubs that have been over and asked to be taken to
the toilet (a short walk through a dark wood - so not surprising they
don't fancy going on their own), all our three tents have remained
silent. Else were around the site however their is still squealing and
shouting from other groups of kids clearly not worrying about who they
may be disturbing. Fortunately it is not disturbing our cubs. Maybe we
should get our own back tomorrow night when our kids are enjoying a
camp fire and other kids on site are trying to get some sleep because
they are so tired.
