Camping @ ECP and Happy Father's Day

Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 15 June 2008 in People & Portrait.

We did what is by my standards,a crazy thing--overnight camping with a 3 year-old and a 1.5 year old and my creaky bones.

The boys were very excited as we set up the tent,i brought along a comforter quilt,sweaters and we slept under the stars for a night! The sky was right outside our 'doorstep', the sound of the waves beating against the shore was music to our ears and the not so exciting hard ground that we use as our bed for the night. Caleb took a long time to fall alseep,his excitement over the novelty of camping out wore off,the hard ground sank in and he was groaning,'Mummy,i want to go home and sleep on the bed!'

haha,i told myself he will need more camp-out like this in future!

Today is Father's Day, but nobody seems to care as much as for Mother's Day..here's wishing the often neglected and forgotten lot--fathers--many whose sacrifices for the family go forgotten and unnoticed.

This is so sweet Tyan, the look of excitement on their little faces is wonderful. I think you are a very brave mummy to take two little ones camping, but a great experience for them :)

I love it, tyan. Such a great set of two shots. And such honesty -- "Mummy, I want to go home and sleep on the bed..." You have a beautiful family.

I didn't get here yesterday to wish HUB a happy Father's Day but I'm glad to see a photo from your camping adventure. Your dear husband (and you) sacrificed a comfortable night's sleep for the sake of your sons. Keep it up; the boys will love your for it!

It is odd how Father's Day does not seem to be as special. Love the camping story.
