Monday night i decided for family home evening we would talk about the creation and as the activity we would drive down to the glow worm caves at natural arch and then have dessert at the caves.So i gave our good friends Eleanor and Edward a call to see if they where up for a bit of an adventure and of course they were! We had our lesson at home then told the kids that for the activity we had to go for a drive...but didn't tell them where we were going. I'd packed hot chocolate in a thermos and chocolate brownies and marshmallows for the treat into my backpack for after the walk to the glow worm caves. We left at 6:30pm to go and meet our friends at their place then went off together. (Roadtrip lol) We got to natural arch late and off we went night bushwalking, all the kids had their torches and were all so excited.The girls where especially excited because they looked like fairies glowing. I was being a bit of a torch Nazi because i didn't want anyone to shine the glow worms with the torches and kill them so i was telling everyone to keep their torches OFF in the cave. lol Then when we walked back up from the cave we found a picnic table and had our treat.There was a couple of bus loads of Japanese tourist who were very interested in us having our picnic at night and we were getting a few looks :) and of course the big boys were playing it up a bit too! And a must before we left was for everyone to experience the drop loos with there lovely fragrance. Then we headed back home and arrived at about 11:30pm with sleeping children and lizzie didn't even get hurt and no one was sick!
Another successful Brownie adventure!
so fun!
