We have had an action packed 4 days after the initial settling in period.
So far in the program there has been:
Camp out - where we got to pitch tents and sleep out in the bush. We cooked our food on some little stoves, but nothing too scary happened!
Orienteering - We leearnt how to find our direction and follow a simple course using a compass. Good thing we stayed around the campsite for this!
Intro to Horses - This session gave us some good ideas on how to be confident with a horse! We learnt how to saddle up, fit a bridle, which side to mount and basic skills for getting a horse to do what we want! We haven't made it out of the horse yards yet! Next week we will get to go on a ride and try out our new skills.
Doing all of the cooking this week has been a new experience for many of us!!!! We've had to make breakfast, lunch and dinner. Cereal for breakfast is good, sandwiches for lunch are ok, but some dinners have been 'interesting'. Maybe the cooks next week will be advenurous and experienced!!???? We might get the french toast for breakfast right too!!!
Saturday we get to learn how to use the twin tub washing machines and do all of our washing! The good thing will be being able to rest and hang around the camp.
All good here,
Love
Us XX
