Our Morgan Engagement Camping Trip

 When we got engaged we didn't really want to have a party so instead Benny had the idea of going camping with our parents, sisters and their families instead so that they could all get to know each other better.
Ray (Benny's dad), Benny, Terleah (Benny's niece), Jason (Benny's brother in law)
Definitely a good idea and definitely very us. We were waiting for fire ban to end and then for a weekend that suited everyone and last weekend was that weekend.
We left Friday morning and had the long weekend at this camping spot along the Murray River. Benny's family have always camped here but their favourite spot was being used so this spot was a new one and nice too.





My Dad, Tegan (Benny's sister) My mum, Ray, AJ (my sister)
 This was the one and only yabbie we got


Terleah with her Nanny Sharon (Benny's mum)





Dylan (Benny's Nephew)
 It was adorable how incredibly grotty Dylan got playing in the dirt and old fire coals with the dogs. I meant to take a picture of him on the first day when he was FILTHY!:) Bennys parents white Labrador Jasper got named 'top deck dog' because of his habit of sitting in dirt after a swim resulting in a thick layer of mud on the lower half of him. By the end of the weekend we all looked forward to warm showers at home
 The sunrise was beautiful. On this morning I was woken by a kookaburra (Australian native bird). It sounded really close so I poked my head out of our swag and it was in a tree right next to me. Of course as soon as it saw me away it flew but it was great to see it up close!
 Benny and his dad love fishing together
 We made lots of damper. This was Jasons damper, it was by far the best!

 Terleah caught her fish. This was her second fish! She carried them around for ages, she was so proud
 The kids had fun jumping out of Dads van
 lots of fun!
 and of course who doesn't love whizzies?
Its an awesome spot and we had a great time

  1. Thank you so much for inviting me. I had a ball and it was just what i needed. Life's been a bit crazy lately so to have the opportunity to sit around and do nothing but relax and enjoy my beautiful surroundings was bliss. Congratulations again on your engagement, it's so exciting to be planning 2 Jones weddings! Cant wait to catch up, our bathroom is almost complete so you have to visit soon xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

  2. Looks like you all had a wonderful time, camping is much more full than partys. But what is a yabbie (looks kinda scary) and what is damper?
