Beers, Bunnies and Cackle Berries

Well, my Easter weekend was fantastic! It kicked off on Thursday night, when we headed down to my folks place at Strath for dinner and a catch up with my "Brother from another Mother" Matt. Next morning, we set off for Deep Creek, accompanied by our good friend the GPS, telling us where to go and only getting slightly distressed if we didn't obey her! We arrived at Deep creek, and set up our tent with a view across Backstairs Passage to KI, stunning! The mob were playing a new ball game that they had made up, which we soon got the hang of and joined in. Later that night, we all partook in the Easter beer hunt. I had a good success rate, finding 6 beers. Nice! I went to bed shortly after. Beer hunting make Annie sleepy!
The next day was more ball sports and a trip to boat harbour beach, where a few of the guys got in touch with their inner Robinson Crusoe and built a raft from driftwood and rope, found on the beach. There was also some mini golf and cable tossing going on down there too.
That night, we did a glow stick hike. A few of us ended up hiking further than first intended due to the group breaking up a bit, I suffered some pretty spectacular bruising due to a short trip over a rock! It was all good fun though!
On Sunday, we packed up after a bit of a sleep in and headed off to Goolwa for dinner with the church mob. After setting up tent, and having a quiet drink at the ironing board, we partook in some more ball sports (yep, I used to be scared of balls! I am making progress!) however I was slightly impeded by a 7 year old who decided I was her new favourite thing! I was a bit hesitant to go diving for any balls for risk of mowing her down!!!
My folks came down to join us for dinner, which was nice. After dinner, more ball sports, skipping and general running around (I now understand why grown ups were so adverse to giving me whizzies when I was a kid!) then as things quietened down, a little circle of fold up chairs formed in the middle of the oval and a few of us of varied ages sat and chatted for a while. When the numbers had died down sufficiently, 4 of us nicked off in the car and played 5 rounds of "lock on". Lock on makes Annie sleepy too! We soon retired and headed back to camp!
The next morning, shortly after breakfast, we packed up once again and headed for Strath. We had a quick lunch with Mum and Dad before driving home. Chinese take away and then bed at 7:30!!!
