This was the first year that we could all attend Alex's Scout group's family camp at Hargreaves, Romford. Lee and Nicholas had football, so it was Alex, Cassie and I in attendance.
Pirates was the weekend theme with the aim of the game to gain as much booty (gold coins) as possible. I was advised in advance that the Navy Captains (the leaders) were not above a bribe or two either!
I was the the team with the Penny family and the Orrock's so at least I knew a couple of friendly faces.
Alex was happy as Annabel was in the team!
Lianne had managed to get us all t-shirts printed with out team name of "The Black Pearl" on the front and on the back was printed our alias.. Alex was of course Davey Jones, I was Calypso and Cassie was Captain Sparkle!
We all pitched in with breakfast and washing up
One of the main tasks each team was given was to build a boat!! I was really proud of ours..
Lots of activities to take part in from archery, assault course,
and axe and tomahawk throwing
On the Saturday we had a hog roast - was bloomin' yummy!
There were many silly games over the weekend, one of the best I actually got involved with was to get a bowl of flour from the front to the back of the line... safe to say, we didn't win that one!
Cassie even got to ring the dinner bell.
Was a FANTASTIC family camp. We'll be going again!
