Parent Weekend

On Friday the 11th of September my dad came to pick me up at around 1 PM. I had to show him around the Wardli at about 1:30 as we were in the middle of cleaning. Once we had finished cleaning I showed him through the Wardli and around the campsite. Once I had showed him through the Wardli I grabbed my bag and we started the drive to our house. My dad had rented a little farm house about 3 kms out of Warooka. Once we reached the house we unpacked and just relaxed. We had alot of chips, lollies and sugary stuff. It was different to what we usually have at the camp. We relaxed until about 6 PM when we went out to dinner at the inland restaurant. After dinner we arrived back home and slept. I managed to get a sleep in until about 8:30 which was good, and I didn’t have to run in the morning. That was a big relief. When I woke up we had bacon, eggs, hash browns and mushrooms for breakfast and then we drove to Innes National Park. I showed everyone around Innes and told them some of the stories that Moff had told us. After we had gone to al of the places that Moff took us to we drove to the Rhino Tavern. By now it was around 2 PM and it was time to drive to Yorke Town to see my mum. Once we met my mum at Yorke Town we drove to Coobowie. We stayed in one of our friends houses. When we got there we relaxed some more. My grandparents, my mum, my sister ad my mums partner and his daughter were there. We threw the vortex, played darts, played pool, played table tennis and ate food, and slept. For dinner we went to the Coobowie Tavern. It was alot different to the pubs in Adelaide. After dinner we went home and played pool, then went to bed. I got another sleep-in. This was really good. We had more bacon and eggs for breakfast, and more junk food. We pretty much did nothing for the whole day, except at about 3 PM we went for a walk around Coobowie, my grandparents regularly come fishing around the Yorke Peninsular. Then I showed them around the campsite and they dropped me off. After being away from my parents for 3 weeks I don’t really feel that different about them, but I do appreciate how much they do for me, but I did help cook and do the washing, I just didn’t clean up that much. I just left everything around the place. It was good to see my family after not seeing them for 3 weeks. Now that the parent weekend is over I am looking forward to either surfing or going home.
