Well today is my last day off, but in two weeks I've got another week off. The kids are still on School Holidays so we've sent them down to my wife's parents for a week down the coast. The kids will enjoy it as Nanny and Poppy spoil them and take them to the beach and other places to have fun and run around. Nanny and Poppy don't care if they get up really early in the morning or stay up later at night, they just enjoy after them for a while. I think that by the end of the week, they will be ready to hand them back though as the kids do wear them out.
After the week down the coast my wife is taking a week off to look after the kids and the week after that is when I'm looking after them. I've told the kids that I'm going to take them camping and a mate of mine is going to come along with his son too. I still need to book a site somewhere though. I looked online a week or two ago and most camp grounds had restrictions stating that the minimum booking was four or five nights. As my daughter has never been camping before, I don't really want to be away for that long. Also four nights is getting a bit much for me too, especially with the kids to look after full tim. We're hoping to go for two nights as that's just about right with the kids.
For a two night trip, you show up after lunch on the first day and set up camp, then you can go to the pool before getting ready for dinner. After dinner you can take the kids to the park and then have some hot chocolate before bed.
The next day we usually have bacon and egg rolls for breakfast before heading off and spending the morning at the beach. Come back and wash off the sand for lunch and then head to the park for a while before going back to the pool before dinner. There isn't much to do as an adult except take it easy and keep an eye on the kids. The morning of the last day we just have breakfast and then start tidying everything up and packing it away. Depending on the weather and how the kids and I are holding up, we may go to the pool again before heading home.
