He's back... No.1 son went away on Monday the 10th to camp at Morpha Bay... the school likes to take all year 6 students away for the week once all the SATs are done and its a time of relaxing and letting your hair down also some would say a rite of passage....
So in he came on the Friday the 14th and boy, in that week away he had changed! tales of travel sickness (only once, on the way there!) and the first two nights he was homesick (fortunately not literally this time! a night at beaver camp comes to mind!) but he's had a fabulous time and even got a tan!! allbeit only on his neck and arms...his ears are looking a bit tender because he forget to put suncream on them!
Then he got into school on Monday the 17th and his teacher that went to camp awarded him an achievement certificate for overcoming his fears and going on a zipwire!!! My boy who is a gentle soul! petrified of spiders & heights went abseiling and on a zipwire!!
So it was more than a moment really but a moment that had to be shared because it was a moment when a boy started the journey to becoming a man...
