Auntie Christine and Uncle Ian came round for a visit in the afternoon, I showed them my lovely new princess dress.
And they gave me a wind up torch/radio and a special chocolate pudding to take camping at the weekend. Music and chocolate cake, thats all I need for weekend away.
Camping then, how exciting, we didn't have to wait long to use our new tent and set off for Charmouth on friday night after Mum had finished work. It took a couple of hours to get there and find Yanna and Fen had set there tent up already.
We pitched next door and soon made ourselves at home:

We had a great big bedroom for all four of us, with Andy in the guest wing at the other end of the tent.
Dad forgot to pack any story books so it was up to him and Mum to make us a couple up, they did an okay job actually:


We were up bright and early of course, Mum and Dad were delighted about that.
But we were excited and happy to be so near the park at the campsite.
This is as close as the grown ups were allowed to get (unless one of us was stuck up a climbing frame):
One of the main reasons for the getaway was to go fossil hunting at Charmouth beach. We combed the beach and the cliffs for potential fossils. Kin was nominated fossil expert, much to his suprise:


Even though Melissa would have been quite happy to examine every single stone on the beach. Mum found one, Dad found one (which promptly got lost from our bucket and Yanna found one:

As good as they were, they weren't as good as the ones the man had for sale in the shop, so we invested a little pocket money for some quality samples:

I very bravely fed the dinosaur in the museum:

Proceedings were rounded off with an ice cream of course:

After that it was back to the campsite for swiming.
It was great fun and total carnage with us all bombing and jumping and throwing our masive beach ball all around the place, sitting on the grown ups shoulders (until we got told off) and then some more bombing and jumping for good measure.
After all that, I was a little worn out and took forty winks in the tent:

They thought I was in for the night and got me dressed for bed..the fools! I was soon up and playing frisbee:

While Fen and I had a kick about and then went for a roll down the hill:

It was of course a bbq for tea, finished off with Auntie Christines Spaceman pouch chocolate cake and sauce:


Which we all thought looked rather like a poo. But it tasted okay!
It was then time to turn in for our second night in the tent. We had a much better sleep and had quite a lie in the next day to catch up on a little sleep.
But we were soon headed for Lyme Regis for a mooch about.
We took a walk along The Cobb, it was pretty cool, a big old wall out into the sea.
The waves crashed against it and gave us a good old soaking at one point too!

We sat and contemplated the view of course:

Before having fish and chips sat on the sea wall, which was of course followed by an ice cream. (note to self, do not ask for ice cream just because it is pink when I don't really like strawberry flavour ice cream):

None of us wanted to go home of course, we'd got quite used to sleeping in the tent, living the outdoor life and eating like kings!
But it was back to school, nursery and work of course.
Hmmm, Eva, my previous best friend lulled my ear and it hurt. I don't like her anymore. I do however like Ella though. She's my new best friend, she never pulls my ears.
And I got my first ever written school report. I won't go into too much detail here but it made me sound really rather good. Phew, thats a relief.
