Over the Weekend

It was our 5th Wedding Anniversary on Friday.  Our tradition for anniversaries is to go away together as a family to enjoy nature and the peace it brings.  Were not really much for dinners at a flashy restaurant or extravagant presents.  This year, we chose to head away to the Alps.  It was quite an adventure with our camper in tow.  The trip over the mountains was quite a slow one, but I think it allows you to take in the beautiful scenery!  The weather wasn't fantastic with lots of rain and thunderstorms, but we were lucky enough to spend the whole day on Saturday walking in the National Park without needing our raincoats.  We also now know that our camper is fully waterproof, even in the most severe storms!  
We camped by the river, cooked outdoors and enjoyed each others company.  Ava loved it and didn't want to pack up and go home at all.  We had a picnic lunch with the best view of the mountains. Ava loved the bush walks as well - we did 3 different walks and she was keen to do them all on her own, without a piggy back from mum or dad. One particular walk was really steep and Ava decided to go down the steps in reverse - like she used to! Ava really is growing up.   She is already talking about our next trip in the camper!
It was a fantastic weekend away - quality time spent together as a family.
