I had to share the photographs from our last camping trip cause we lost our tent at 4 in the morning due to bad weather. Our three day camping trip to Hazelwood ended up being a 12 hour camping trip  

DAKOTA & PRISCILLA HELPING TO BREAK DOWN THE FIRE WOOD


AJAX WISHING HE COULD GO PLAY WITH THE KIDS HE SAW AT THE TOILET BLOCK EARLIER


THE KIDS SOUND ASLEEP IN THE TENT AND OUT OF THE WEATHER



THE DOGS WEREN'T THE ONLY THING IN OUR TENT


PACKING UP AT 4 IN THE MORNING AFTER OUR TENT CAVED IN


MY SISTER MAKING NOTE OF THE TIME WHILE HOLDING UP THE TENT TILL WE GOT ALL OUR STUFF OUT

can't beleive you gave up so easy ,bet the dogs would of stayed
they looked like theyed sleep anywhere .our first camping trip along
the great ocean road sounds pretty much the same ,a collapsed tent
but we just slept up the other end .isn't camping great    
better luck next time.

Did you get a few curious onlookers when they saw  3 bulldogs in your tent
No chicken necks for 3 days before they go camping.

We don't get to many funny looks, most people are unsure what breed they are so they keep away from us. One little girl almost hyperventilated when Ajax went near her. I told her he was harmless and as she was sucking in air she told me she was scared of Bulldogs. (at least she knew what he was)  

We had to give up if my sister wasn't holding up that side of the tent the whole thing would of been flat on top of us. The actual steal poles broke, the wind and rain was that bad. Our table legs also broken with the force of the tent coming down on it.

Plus Dakota was freaking out and couldn't sleep. Priscilla on the other hand didn't have a care in the world, in fact as we were making a mad rush to pack everything up she was busy doing her toilet business in her crate. Number twos.  

The tent had also start leaking water prior to caving in. We were already in corners of the tent trying to stay dry.

Oh well we will just have to invest in a new tent and watch the weather channel a bit closer to the next trip.

We Tented it once.
Now we either sleep in a cabin, a caravan, or in the back of the ute under the canvas canopy.
Some Tents are like garbage bags with poles.

Nothing like camping, no phones, no television, no contact with what’s going on in the outside world. It’s a real holiday from everything.
