An afternoon in the woods. (Pic heavy)

[resnikov]

Partickpebbles and myself have permission to use a local wood. We hadn't been up to it yet so this afternoon with my 2 little helpers we went up to it to have a look around and get a lie of the land.

First thing was finding a nice area to make camp. We had a little wander round and found a suitable location. Got the helpers out the way with a picnic :rolleyes: so we could make a start on the campfire. Partickpebbles was trying to score some of their crisps. :p

With the fire going we got a brew on.

Then in my girls' eyes the best part of the afternoon. Marshmellows with dad. I think they would have been happy without me and just the marshmellows :p

We all had a good time and learnt a few things.

Lovely pictures Resnikov. I love it when the pictures tell the story of the day out. Looks like you all had a great day. :)

Look like fun

Great pics Resnikov-what would any of us do to swap ages with those two kids, your giving them invaluable lessons there Res-how to be practical-have you noticed how kids never seem to be bewildered by any environment, take some adults into that setting and immediately they will be showing signs of distress and hypothermia type behaviour :o

Looking at pic #4 you'll have to tell Partickpebbles that's not how we use hammocks!.. looks painful :( lol

Looks like a nice flat spot there, plenty of fun for the kids (big & small) all year round :)

Yeah will teach him to use it properly.
Going out there this weekend for an overnighter, should be good.
