What a relaxing week this has been - another week of camping. This time we decided that we wanted to go and do some sessions in the temple, so we booked ourselves into a campground about 15 minutes away from the temple. The campground was really nice, although it didn't have a pool which was a little disappointing. The woman at the campground told me that they couldn't have a pool as the campground was in a flood zone. We went to a temple session on Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning and Thursday morning. It was great to see that the sessions were so full. We love going to the temple - it is so beautiful and peaceful inside and it's always a spiritual experience for us.
Lunch on the way to the first campground - we bought subs and then had a little visitor join us (see below)
Dad's first meal he cooked on the barbecue - they were yummy 😊
We took a selfie just before we went into the temple
Then, a woman came along and asked if she could take a photo of us
We spent our time at the campground reading, playing games, doing puzzles and I did some knitting. On Friday morning, we pulled up camp and drove to the next camp which was only 45 minutes away (towards Hervey Bay). We chose this campground because it had a pool and the weather was quite warm. As it was a weekend, there were a lot of kids in the campground, but they were well behaved and we didn't mind a bit. We went to church on Sunday to the Nambour ward and were made to feel welcome - we were even asked to give the opening and closing prayers for Sunday School. It is so awesome that wherever we go, we can go to church and things are pretty much the same. 😊
Eating lunch outside in the fresh air - fabulous!
We did pretty much the same thing at the second campground as we had at the first campground - other than going swimming at this one - they had a really nice pool and the water was the perfect temperature. They also had a hot tub which was a nice bonus. There's an outdoor store here called 'BCF' (it stands for boating, camping, & fishing) and they sent us a $50. gift certificate so we thought it was a good time to buy the little bbq we have been wanting to get for camping. It's called a Weber Baby Q and Dad used it this week to barbecue hamburgers and hot dogs which were delicious - they taste so much better when they are cooked on the barbie. 😃 Dad and I have loved camping so much in our beautiful new camping trailer that we can't wait to go again - Dad has already chosen our next spot and we do hope to go next week.

Our set-up in the second campground
A beautiful jacaranda tree - hard to see from the photo, but they have the most beautiful purple blossoms
Dad cooking on the Weber Baby Q - he loves it!
In the evenings, we played 'Gin Rummy' and 'Farkle' - the latter game is played with 6 dice and is so much fun
Another jacaranda tree we saw on the way home from church
Me swimming in the pool at the campground - one of the days, we took our puzzle books and snacks to the pool, took a dip when we got there and then sat on the deck chairs to do puzzles and eat - this is the life 😊
