Just back today after two and a bit weeks of camping with a group of family and friends at a school camp just out of Bannockburn in Central Otago, and to say it was great is an understatement. It was one of the best holidays we have had. Great company, beautiful weather, amazing scenery, great facilities ..... aaahhhhhh :) can you tell I enjoyed myself??!
So while away I had time to contemplate what I wanted to achieve in 2009. The first thing to decide on was my word for the year ... PLAY - not to take life so seriously and to take time to play. So along that theme I spent a bit of time while away 'playing' with my camera and a couple of letters I found in a shop in Old Cromwell .....
This is the view of the camp from down by the pool - the water was a tad chilly but did spend a bit of time in it yesterday to cool off from the 30+ degree temperature!
... and another view ...
... and my human version of PLAY (using the YMCA song as inspiration)!!!!! Special thanks to my hubby, Auntie and 2 cousins for 'playing' along with me - LOL!Then taking time to put my 'word' into action ...
Emma and I on the charlift above Queenstown, then ....
the luge race back down!!!! A lot of fun had that day!

the luge race back down!!!! A lot of fun had that day!So what words have you decided on for this year?
Now back to reality ... lots of photos to print off over the next few days and then want to get stuck back into scrapping. Will also be catching up on blogs over the next few days .... ummm 300 odd posts to read so might take me awhile - LOL!
So off now to hang up a load of washing, tomorrow will be spent doing more washing, cleaning a very dirty car, mowing the 3 weeks worth of growing grass and finding my garden under all those weeds - but first will be a night sleeping in my own comfy big bed .....aaaahhhhh!
